there is one seal per side and also one dust seal per side to keep dust from getting to seal. so two per side...

What you are looking for is a plug that has a hex(for allen wrench) in the middle. It should be on the bottom of the transmission, assuming this is a manual transmission.To refill a manual trans, after putting the drain plug back in, Remove the plug on the side of the trans. Same thing on the tool or the plug has a square head. You can use a crescent wrench on the square. Fill the trans thrrough the side hole with the proper oil. Proper level is aproximately 1/8" from bottom of threads of hole Put you pinky in in the hole straight and push downward until the tip of your finger touches oil. Keep your finger straight. Theskin/meat on your finger will give about 1/8" as you press down. That done, chk both plugs and you're done.
If this is an automatic trans, the pan needs to be taken down to change oil. Good Luck.

Hello use what can afford the higher octane rating you pay more and it will not make any difference in performance.

hi,replacing the seal is quite easy,although it will sound complicated,jack up or lift the bike off the ground so that the front wheel is in the air(about 12-14 inches should be enough,remove the front wheel from the bike,remove each fork leg,this is done by undoing the bolts(4 on each leg)the front fork is quite easy to work on just do one at a time,remove the dust cover from the top of the staunchion tube(larger diameter tube),beneath that dust cover you should see a retaining clip that holds the seal in place,remove the retaining clip(and dont lose it),the seal is now ready to remove,the easiest way that i know to do this is to force a screwdriver through the body of the seal,you may need to hit the screwdriver with a hammer as some seal have a tin backing plate,put a hole through the seal on each side of the fork leg taking care not to damage the chrome of the fork leg,then use the screwdriver to lever the seal out of the fork leg,to reinstall the new seal,put a smear of grease or oil around the outside of the new seal,slide the new seal down the fork leg and seat it squarely into the fork tube,very carefully tap the new seal into place being very carefull not to damage the outer surface,i use a small piece of dowell type timber to do this as the wood doesnt damage the seal surface,i use a small ballpeen hammer to tap the wooden dowell,once you have the seal seated down the tube you should be able to see the groove for the retaining clip,reinstall the retaining clip making sure it is seated corectly,replace the dust cover,if you are going to replce the fork oil or top it up do this once the fork leg is back in the bike,repeat the whole procedure for the other fork leg,once you have done the fork seals reinslall the fork legs back into the bike and refit the front wheel,to top up the oil in each leg,simply undo the large cap on the end of the fork leg,you may have to remove the handlebars to do this,be carefull as the cap will be spring loaded and can easily fly off if you are not ready for it,top up or fill with the correct weight oil for your bike(normally a 10w oil),check with your local honda agent for the correct quantity,normally between 400-500 mls,this all sounds quite complicated but is actually quite easy and can be done with a minimal of tools,each fork shold take about 1/2 hr to do...hope this is a help to you

if you mean it doesnt fold out. it is held in with a spring and ball so may just need some spray lube and a little use

Hi there

• Low compression, and lots of blow-by forcing oil into the air filter via the the crankcase breather. Sounds like you need a top end rebuild. If you can get your hands on a compression tester, then check it. If it comes in under 120, then certainly time for a tear down and top end rebuild.

• If you put a quick squirt of oil down the spark plug hole and if the compression pressure goes up on a second compression test, then rings/piston/bore are worn. If it does not come back up, then it may be leaky valves, or a blown head gasket.

• do the compression test first. That will tell you where to start. Or, if you have the tools, tear the top end down and inspect. A motor re conditioner/machine shop will help to measure up and tell you if piston, and bore are ok. May just need new rings to freshen up.

Happy to answer any questions that you may have.
regards robotek

there is the inside fork damper that should contains around 195-200 ml but you d'ont have to open it when you only service fork seals.....but to be honest you better do it cause it is the hydraulic of you're forks and you wanna have clean oil passing tru the valving......the outside contains normally 371ml ....if this helps leave good feed back!

Yes. Your bike takes two different oils. You need to get in touch with a Honda motorcycle dealership. They will be able to provide you with the oil and information you need. Honda has its own special brand of oil for each application and filters. Good Luck.

If it isnt overfull, might need new rings

Try a 5/8 deep well,or 15 mm,if it has the factory plug no.R0409B-8

new battery or start solenoid.

Torque settings are most important ,You best bet is to get advice from either your manual or from a service center.mechanic.

id say its time for a new set of piston rings sounds like youv got a busted oil ring

Typically you would loosen the triple clamps that hold the fork tubes, trap the front wheel or have some on hold it and re align the wheel with the handle bars and re tighten. The challenge with a scooter is removing covers to gain access the triple clamp.

Hope this is of some help.

you have a fuel delivery problem i would first check fuel bowl level and air vents for fuel bowl then all your air bleeds

Any chance the valve spring has collapsed? Cam shaft thrust washers missing? Cam shaft bearing gone bad?
Please rate this solution. Thanks!

Assuming you have the correct amount of oil in the gearbox, the piston rings may be wearing out.

REMOVE SEAT AND FUEL TAKE, YOU HAVE TO GET TO TOP OF CARB. THE TOP SCREWS OFF AND SLIDE OUT THE THROTTLE SLIDE. YOU HAVE TO COMPRESS THE RETURN SPRING AND PUSH THE CABLE AND HOLDER DOWN . YOU WILL SEE A SLOT IN THE SLIDE THE CABLE AND SPRING HAVE TO COME OUT OF THE SLOT ON THE END OF THE CABLE IS WHAT HOLDS THE CABLE IN THE SLIDECOMPRESS THE SPRING AND THE CABLE WILL THEN HAVE PLAY TO REMOVE THE CABLE FROM THE SLIDE, REPLACE THE SAME WAY

Sounds like something is jammed or broke on the kickstarter inside the case
