I just assembled a new Tao Motor Bull 200 today. I have no experience with gy6 engines. This one has 169cc displacement. The engine has a drain on the side for engine oil. No problem. There are two plugs on the bottom case. Didn't know which one to pull to drain gear oil. Started with one in the front that has 14mm head. while removing it, noticed it was hollow with a spring and ball bearing. Gear oil drained out of this hole. Reinstalled and pulled second plug in rear with 17mm head. It was a standard plug and more gear oil came out. Drained and refilled from fill plug on right rear of engine near drive sprocket. Filled with 750 ml of 80/90w gear oil. First question. What is the plug with spring and ball bearing? Second question. Did I fill with the correct amount of gear oil? Third question. Is this a shared case between the plugs or should I be looking for another place to add gear oil? Sorry for the long post. Just want to make sure I don't screw something up.

I assembled my Bull 200 this past weekend and only drained the trans oil from the plug without the spring and bearing. One Red solo cup worth of fluid (500ml) came out and so I put in the same amount of new into the fill by the sprocket. Curious - did your new Bull 200 come with a skid plate, front drums instead of discs, and no digital speedo, etc? Mine only looks sort of like the pics, and the vendor told me the 2021 Bulls don't have front discs or speedo anymore?

I will try to get a pic soon. As far as my Bull 200. I bought it from Upzy. It was drop shipped from the Tao warehouse in Indianapolis. The tag on the front says it was built in November of 2020. Mine does have the skid plate, front/rear disc brakes and the digital speedometer. Seems strange they would down grade the atv. Usually there are improvements year to year.

I have this newer model Bull 200 without the digital speedo and my gear oil fill is the same spot as the one in your picture. Trouble is, the manual shows it on the other side and also calls for 200ml gear oil. This thing definitely took WAY more than 200ml of gear oil. How can I know the correct film amount? From previous experience, I would just fill till oil comes out the fill hole, but I also don't wanna damage this thing.

Looks like they have changed the front sprocket compared to my 2019 Bull.Mine has little splines plus a welded on collar.https://partskit.com/product/102213

I called Wholesale ATV and asked one of the Mechanics about the gear oil level. He told me 750 ml or 3/4 of a quart. I have put about 12 hours on my Bull and haven't noticed any transmission issues after changing the gear oil
