Default Help with fluids. Help, Please.

So let me start with saying that I am extremely grateful that this website exists. I have tried my local "Name Brand" dealer with questions and they seem to not like Chinese quad owners for some reason. I think they need to see the light and realize that not everyone can afford $5,000 quads. So maybe they should start carrying some of these parts and knowledge of these quads. So here is my fluid questions. I know I already screwed up so I need to start new. I put 90wt gear oil were I think the 10-40w oil goes. So I need some clarification, please.

1. 2007 200cc Jetmoto Quad. Has a dipstick on the right side,What goes there? Is there any other fluids I need to change? There is a screw cap on the left side that can come off with a flat head screw driver, does some kind of fluid go there? This is a 5 speed with clutch.

2. 2006 Baja 50cc, and a 2007 Baja 110CC quads. Both are automatic. They also have the dipstick on the right side and the screw cap on the left side. What goes in on each side? Since these are automatics, is there an automatic fluid I need to put in these?

I realize these might be dumb questions but I really appreciate the help, we are planning our first trip out for mothers day weekend and I need to get these going. THANK YOU

Put 10W40 motorcycle oil in the dipstick on the right side of the 200CC. The cap on the left side is used for ignition timing and no oil is put in there. The engine has shared oil for the engine and transmission. My 200CC Gio take roughly 1L to fill up after an oil change.

Same thing for the 50CC and 110CC, 10W40 oil.

For my SUNL 110cc quad, took 25 oz to fill, so 7 oz shy of a quart. Oil drain plug is 19mm under engine on right as you sit on quad. The 14mm bolt under engine on left as you sit on quad is for the timing chain tensioner spring. Leave that one alone. Make sure oil is rated JASO-MA, safe for wet clutches. Don't want oil with friction modifiers as this will negatively effect the clutch. I use Valvoline 10w-40 motorcycle oil. There are other options, but I am satisfied with this.
Good luck

Default Sigh of relief.

I hope you guys can hear my sigh of relief from were ever you are. I realized I need to drain the gear oil but not all is lost. I thought I had missed something some were. So there is no other fluid I need to worry about besides the brake fluid correct?

Thanks again guys for all the help.

Welcome to the forum cessna1466u!

Looks like youve got the caps figured out. I use Valvoline 10wt-40 in all of my air cooled Honda and Chinese 4 strokes... No clutch slipping or damage for a few years on the Chinese stuff and a few decades on the Hondas.

This helped me as well.

My son (8) just got his first quad Today (Christmas), and I was trying to check the oil. His is a JetMoto 110cc Hummer.

The oil dip stick was covered by the footwell on the right side.

I too was looking at the left side and the timing chain cover. The manual is bunk no pictures.

LOL,

So Thanks alot guys!

A lot of them are this way now. I took the footwell off of mine and carefully cut an access hole in it with a utility knife. It was either that or remove 10 bolts every time you want to check the oil level. FWIW, I run 15w40 in my Taotao 110. It's even recommended on the nameplate on the machine.
