Hey Keith,
For the trans, use a hypoid gear oil(any auto parts store), Personally I use
Quaker State 80/90wt. Same as the final drive. I've even put 80/140wt in
there during the hot summer months. As for the amount, The not so sure fire
approach is to find a level spot of ground, set the bike on the center
stand, and on the right side towards the top of the trans, theres a big
filler plug(22mm i think, or 7/8" is pretty close). Undo that and if you
look in there you'll be able to see some trans guts. Below that big plug,
there's a 15 or 17mm bolt(plug). Undo that. Make sure your drain plug's in
and dump that thick oil into the top plug until it starts to come out of the
bottom one. Let the bottom drain and replce all plugs and your good to go.
There is an exact measurement for this in Guzziology but the measurements
are in cc's. I have not found anything that has been marked with cc's or
taken the time to convert it into anything eles, so I just use this way. It
works just fine.

OOPs gotta go.

Sorry ran out of time.

Later
Kev

The Ambo is back together. Book tells how to drain tranny but not where
to fill it and what type of fluid it requires. Can someone tell me
where to fill the trans and what type of fluid to use? Also, the
generator was rebuilt, mechanic tried to polarize it, worked briefly
then stopped. Method was to tap the positive battery terminal to the
middle white wire on the regulator, believe that is the field wire. Is
there another trick/did I tell them how to polarize it correctly?
Wonder why it didn't stay polarized? Last question is how to change the
fork oil, how much is required to refill, and what oil to use to fill
it.

Thanx!
