Hey guys,

The Clymer should have been here by now - PIA.

Anyway, I am rounding up the usual parts and I see a thread that refers to relacing the oil plug when you change oil or it will leak. Is this the main plug you remove to drain the oil or is there a secondary one? What oil do you like in the Kaw's?

Second, the diff - what lube/weight/amount do you recommend?

Finally, he gave me a new UNI filter, which I have not used before. Should this be doused in oil like OEM's?

It's my first Kawasaki so I am just geting up to speed here.

Sorry to be impatiant while waiting for the manual but I want to get out there- it's 50 degrees and the sun is finally been out.

Thanks

 

I have the same quad and I love it! I run ams oil 0W/40W powersports/cycle 4 stroke oil. What year quad do you have? And I have never had a problem with my drain plug. I use my in the winter on the snow i use it at work on the ski hill. U can see a picture of it in my garage pictures. chat at you soon...

 

Trailblazer,

Thanks for the reply - have you had to do any work on your diff?

Traverse City is my hometown. I hadn't been there in years, but I made a quick drive through last summer. Some towns don't change much but TC sure has!!

 

I have changed the rear end with Castrol Sae 80w-90 ap gear Lubricant. Seems to work just fine. That is werid that you used to live in tc. What year did you leave and where are you now? Jeff

 

Jeff,

I moved to Grand Rapids '89 and then came out to Upstate NY in '96. Hadn't been back until last summer.

I have family in the UP, and that's where I will retire. In NY everything is closed to riding unless it's posted open. I miss the UP where I can ride wherever I want - including into town.

Thanks for the reply - got to get this scooter rolling!

 

And the law's around here have changed up so you can ride most anywhere u want.
