Gear oil for a Gio 125cc

awbrooke824 · 08-03-2010, 01:09 PM

I recently posted a thread on installing a performance stator on a Gio 125cc. While I had it apart, I noticed a rubber plug above the chain drive sprocket. I popped it off and noticed a bolt just behind it.

See the rubber plug above the chain drive sprocket in the photo.

I'm assuming this is for gear oil. Does this ever need to be replaced? If so, how would I go about draining it?

Also, is there a standard gear oil I can pick up at the local store or should I be going to the bike shop?

Everything is working fine, I just want to try and keep this trend going.

Thanks

Al

engine oil is the gear oil with that motor.

Are you saying that it's being lubricated from the same engine oil that lubricates the motor, or are you saying the gear oil is the same type of oil I put into the engine?

There is no separate gear oil in your engine. Being a unit motor, the engine oil is also the transmission oil.

You add oil through the dipstick hole only and nowhere else.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like I can check this one off the list!
