Bet & Win 150 / Re: 2008 Bet and Win transmission fluid level

I suspect the clutch is the heat source as you say.  I will have to check my new manual to see what, if anything, can be done.  It is currently about 3 deg here so the only thong will be the one I thing.  Speaking of the manual.  It is all in separate chapters.  Do you know of an easy way to combine them all into one document?

Two birthdays in one year.  I don't know if I should be happy or worried.  Thank you very much for the manual link.  The fan volume was checked with the cover on but the problem (as I see it) is the fact that the fan has no face and so the air cannot be sucked into the centre and discharged from the periphery.  Normally the feed should be located at the centre and in this case it is at the leading edge.   On the other hand I suppose given the layout they made the best of the situation(me trying to be even handed)  As for the transmission, my latest effort is to place a baggie over the hose end and see what collects.  Unfortunately the temperature here is scheduled to drop to 6 deg C for the next few days so there won't be much riding done :(

I have to agree that if one gear is wet then they all will be.  The "U" tube is in and I have upped the oil to 250 ml to kind of compromise on the oil level.  After removing the belt drive case I see what I would call a very poor arrangement for cooling.   As an engineer I would have to say the fan design is next tjo useless and in fact I can feel no air movement at all.  The casing temperature is too hot to hold your hand on but can be touched without burning.  I guess I will continue to ride and see what transpires.  My winter project will be to get a shop manual and see if I can make some improvements.  I appreciate all your help.

I have just come back from a short ride with 180 ml in the transmission.  It still is blowing a bit of oil but not as bad.  Two points.  It sure is hot.  OK or not?  I am considering getting a longer piece of tubing so that it arches up and allows the oil to drain back into the transmission but still provides venting.  Comments?

I have just purchased a 2008 B&W 150 with almost no Km on it.  Great Scooter.  Oil has been leaking from the air box and it is coming from the transmission via the vent hose.  The manual says fill up until oil flows from the filler bolt hole and that this is .18 Litres.  That does not seem to me to be correct.  I suspect the transmission case would hold at least twice the recommended amount.  Am I safe to assume that putting in 180 ml is adequate even though is is nowhere near the bolt level?
