Rear wheel oil

[brianmckewen]

Drained the oil out. It was 150ml. Should I replace with 150ml of gear oil or 180ml like what is stamped on the rear casing? Brian.

Good question.
A manual will give a rebuild amount (more), and a service amount (less).
Gotta believe the stamped figure is correct for an oil change servicing. ....
So 180.
See what others say.

I've always gone with what's stamped on the case..180 ml of gear oil.

Right or wrong I put 180ml in my 200S

A guy who is maintaining www.Zzip.de and owns a KYMCO workshop states for this issue:
120 -150 ml might be enough after draining.
Lubricates with a smaller amount the same, but if you didn't drain properly, 180 ml are too much and spoil your airfilter.
So, take a pick.

you can also turn the rear wheel by hand with the drain plug off...this seems to help get more of the gear oil out.

The issue appears to be was the previous fill too little or did not enough of the oil drain out..I'd drain all i could and turn the rear wheel a few more times to get the last of the oil out then refill with 180 ml.

I have to say it's exciting to see multiple new posts in the S200 section! 2 threads going at once?...good times!

Go with the recommended 180mL. For some Kymcos, there is a small weep hole near the axle where it leaks out gradually.

The S200 won’t weep out. It vents into the airbox so any overfilling ends up in the air filter. 180 ml should be fine. The problems start when people fill it until it drains out of the fill hole. Then we have a mess.

Have always replaced with 180 ml and no issues with venting into the air filter.
