How/where can I check the gearbox oil for my saxon tour? What is a good oil to top off with?
Many thanks!

i do think if memory serves me as with most modern bikes the engine oil and trans is common
some one else check in on this
i have not been working on my Saxon Tour 500 since DEC 2007
when it was wrecked
but it is up next for work shop time this fall
and i will be getting lots of time with my nose in the shop manual
as time taken away most of what i learned about it in the 4 years i rode it

There is no separate gearbox oil on the Rotax engines. The clutch is lubricated by the engine oil, check the level at the dipstick.
