Important Question to you guy's
« on: March 20, 2014, 06:46:00 AM »
So I have a 2010 Xciting 250cc with 1,008 miles on it.

The previous owner just changed her oil, But I dont thnk he changed the tranny fluid. My question is... with the miles I have on her already... I hear I should changed the transmission fluid immediately?  And if so... could I do this myself?

Changing the motor oil was easy... but I didnt know how difficult it was to change the tranny fluid. I just want to take care of her and make sure she's running in top shape.

I would think that the transmission oil should be changed soon.  It is not a difficult task.
Your owners manual should tell you how, if not, then get a service manual.

It's very easy to do if you have a 'ketchup' style squirt bottle that has a spout small enough to go into the fill hole. Get the proper gear oil needed, warm up the trans by running it on the center stand or riding it a while. Remove the bottom drain bolt and let it drain for maybe a half hour if you have the time, replace drain bolt and add the proper amount of gear oil, according to your manual and then bolt the fill hole up and you are ready to go.
