I have an NSR and on my bike the the gearbox has a little cap on the left hand side to put the oil in. A few inches below it is a little clear window with a min and max mark. Stand the bike up straight and see if you can see the oil level in this window. That is a guide.

Like I said I have an NSR which is a little similar I believe. I hope that helps, if not am sure one of the more knowledgeable guys will put it right.

the thing is i have no idea what was in there as i bought the bike second hand so u think my best bet would be to drain it out n start fresh

It doesn't matter a great deal, when you come to top it up just get either fully synthetic or semi-synthetic.

Fully makes your engine last longer, but is a little expensive, while semi is more for budget. Castrol 2 stroke is good.

Run the oil you have until dry, then top up with fully synth stuff, cant go wrong Thumbs Up

Hi

For the gearbox oil Honda just recommend "Honda 4-stroke oil or equivalent. Viscosity: SAE 10W-40. API service classification : SE or SF". That is pretty much just a fairly basic multigrade.

All the best

The NS doesn't have a sight window. There is a bolt on the side and basically when oil starts to come out of there its at the right level.

I seen you asking for a manual in another thread (I am Gav), I did have one but it was a paper copy not an electronic one sorry.
