Just bought her.
Higher end Chinese model and we are impressed at how she’s built.

Owners manual is junk like most.
Talks about a carb, it has EFI.
Doesn’t mention gear oil and the viscosity in the manual (15W40) differs from the plate on the wheeler (10w40).

A few things. GY6 engine.

She has a CVT transmission.
Manual says wet sump but I’m reading that may not be the case.

I have full synthetic 0W40 Castrol full synthetic. Not motorcycle or ATV specific.
Any reason not to run that once she’s broken in?
Guessing the quantity of motor oil is 1qt?

Anyone have a clue where the gear oil drain plug is? Or more importantly the gear oil fill?

Your Castrol 0w-40 would be great after break-in during the cold months. Considering its an air-cooled hard working engine that operates between 4,000 - 9,000 rpms most of the time its in motion, 15w-40 is mandatory during the warmer/ hot months (high heat/ shearing in there). Hope you get many years of enjoyment with your new bike. Interested in how well it does long term.
 
the manual of course sucks.
this thing has a cvt.
So is this excerpt possible?

could there not be any gear oil?
therefore I may need to be more selective on what oil I use?

It seems there are so many versions of this motor and some have clutches some don’t.

I think I found them.
Interestingly there isn’t a zerk on the rear swing arm like the manual says.
Then again neither did the CanAm and that manual
Said it should.
Front bushings dry as a bone.

Rode today. His little machine is a little beast.
throttle limiter at around 2/3 until we get a few more hours on it. 1.5 hours now and changing the oil tomorrow.

riding it back in the garage and my boot lace caugt in the fan. Shattered the cover.
Getting parts seems difficult.

Upgraded using a from my desk fan LOL. This is flexible so it shouldn't shatter like the original.
