Honda NSR125R oil

[biker_moose]

hi i have a honda nsr125r the engine oil is on the min mark does anyone no how to change it or the damage it can do when running it below the mark :s

[moto_psycho]

there should be a cap a little above the glass window

and its gearbox oil, 2 strokes dont have engine oil

im not sure what the oil grade it requires is, probably something light like 10w40, wait for someone else to know for sure before putting that in

i think you are talking about gearbox oil . it's a long bolt underneath on the left side see pict . total amount of 10-40w is 0.7L

Here is an excerpt from the official manual. It states to use "engine oil" I use magnatec, with a grade of 10w40, and it works ok for me.
Some say the wrong oil may cause the clutch to slip, but i have had no problems.
The oil drain plug is just behind the rear brake lever.
Drain until it stops dripping. I even flushed mine out with paraffin before adding the new oil. this ensures that any remaining old oil is removed from the sump.

you can get a good castrol oil specifically for the gearbox - i would avoid anything magnatec etc, althought as demon says he has not had any issues i would not personally take the risk.

You can also use a light gear oil, SAE 75w.

Just a quick note re the above, I use Motul transoil, about £6 for a litre, but it works really well, had absolutely no probs, in fact the clutch response is improved when riding hard over a long period .

Hope this is of use.
