Default V-Force Gear case Oil Check?

I have never owned a shaft driven machine before, how often do you guys check the gear case oil and how often do you change it? Thanks.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

If you mean your rear diff oil, you need to change it right after break in. Then after that it think it has a while. Check your owners manual.

Well I picked up my V Force yesterday and I think the guy told me to check it every 20 or so hrs,
and if you ride it in deep water incase any of the seals have leaked, water in the gear case will
look milkey.
