Make sure you clean the oil strainer on the first oil change!

Metal shavings left over from manufacturing process.

To the lower right of the oil fill/dipstick. There is a big plug/cap there.

Hey DJ, which direction do you turn that oil drain bung? Someone posted how they stripped it because they turned it the wrong way.

Remove the oil drain bolt and drain oil in a pan until crankcase is
empty. To get all the oil out, replace the oil check bolt and apply
light compressed air through the crankcase breather tube which
runs outside the back of the crankcase to the air filter box.
Reinstall drain bolt. The Honda service manual recommends at
every 12K miles or two years whichever comes first you change
the oil and fill the crankcase with a good 10w30 oil through the
check bolt. Reinstall check bolt. Start engine and test ride for 2-3
minutes. Stop engine and check that the oil level is correct and
that there are no leaks. Reinstall left crankase cover and body
parts in reverse order. And now the truth---You really want to use
a good 75w90 gear oil such as Mobile 1 synthetic in the final
drive. And, all giggles aside, change the oil at least every 5K
miles or two years. You're not fighting heat in the transmission
here but rather gear shearing. Buy the oil that best fits the
prevention. Randy Pozzi

I just thought I would check that I am reading this properly, it sounds like we use a 10w30 in the CVT, but use a 75w90 in the Selector Gearbox? Or did he mean use a 75w90 in the CVT?

Confuceoused,

Great information! I just purchased a kart with this motor in it tonight. Nice to see all of this helpful information in one place.
