    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Just purchased a GS850L and need to tune it up. I have replaced the plugs but that's all. I have a couple of quesitons:
1. When I remove the front plate and change the oil filter with that drain the oil or is there a plug.
2. How much oil does it hold and how much gear oil? The gear oil is the real issue.

Please help
 
Not sure on amounts of oil, but there is a oil drain plug, under the bike it's a big bolt in the oil pan.
 
Thanks/Some Help

Thanks for the reply. As I understand it, the gear oil should be filled up to the bottom thread. That's the only thing you have. There is no dip stick or some way to measure. There is supposed to be a plug for it.
 
from the actual suzuki service manual for the GS850G

in the fuel and oil capacity...

Engine oil
change = 2.8l iters
Filter Change = 3.6 liters
overhaul = 3.8 liters

engine oil type 10w40

secondary bevel gear oil 340-400 ml
final bevel gear oil= 280-330 ml

bevel gear oil type HYPOID GEAR OIL SAE 90, API gradeGL-5
 
Gear oil for the trans can be changed, the drain plug is accessed by removing the gear shift lever and the cover you will then be able to see the drain plug for the trans. Fill it until oil comes out of the level check bolt hole 10 mm bolt to the left of the drive shaft boot. Rear diff oil is self explaned, just look use 85-90 wt std gear oil not synthetic
 
all three levels are checked with the bike on it's center stand!
 
You need to get a Chilton (or is it Clymer) service manual, widely available on the internet or large bookstores. All the information you're requesting is all there, well described and illustrated.
