im an idiot
Hi all, well here goes today I brought my first bike a 91 zzr250, in my hurry to get her on the road I've tipped 1L of engine oil into where I think the clutch fluid goes, I took the cap of the right hand side just under it is a clear looking glass, can anyone tell me what should b in there and how do I get the oil out?

Oh dear...
Get a workshop manual.
The engine has a wet clutch, that's where the oil goes.

Re: im an idiot
Got any pics of what you are talking about? Workshop manual is available free online- GPX250 manual with extra bit. GPX is pretty similar anyway.

Re: im an idiot
1 litre of fluid won't fit in the clutch reservoir. I think you got it right but pics will confirm.

Mate,
there aren't many places 1 ltr of oil will fit. Fair chance you got it right.
Get a look at a manual from this site
cheers Rusty

Re: im an idiot
get manual! make sure you didn't overfill it. the little glass tells you how much is in it if you hold the bike level.
That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba.... Hunter S. Thompson.
Re: im an idiot
Can't see the picture but on every bike I've ever owned the clutch uses the same oil as the motor so if its the same and as long as the motor isn't overfilled it should be fine.
