Not wanting to commute by public transport for the foreseeable, I've found the perfect excuse to get back on 2 wheels for the first time in 20 years and on a scooter for the first time in *cough* a few more than that (a PK125 when I was a lad). I now have this to tool around on: Hmm, I can see the image code there, but no picture This link seems to work tho. www.dropbox.com/s/7i8mck2hmqnm1lg/PX150.jpg?dl=0There was some rust on/under the footboards, which I'll have sorted by the end of this weekend, otherwise a pretty sound PX150. Standard other than the exhaust (and I'm geussing jets as the plug looks a fairly sensible colour) I've serviced it and changed the gearbox oil and *think* I've put enough back in, but I can't seem to find out what the volume should be, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Welcome to the forum 👋👋👋 gearbox oil I fill till it comes out of the filler, then leave bolt out till oil stops coming out and but bolt back in. Probably a more technical way of doing it, but has worked for me since the 80s

Yeah, did that but I wasn't sure if the oil coming out was because it was a stupidly small filler and even my smallest funnel made it spill. I reckon it was about 300ml that went in/over the garage floor. It's not been run since I refilled, so I'll check it again tomorrow and top-up if necessary.
I'm amazed it's a difficult question though, pretty much every car I've ever had, it's been easy to find 'drain the oil, when you re-fill, you'll need 5.5 litres' or whatever.

Yeah have now bought a syringe. Wish I'd checked the size *before* I drained it - it took me 30 mins to refill with a 20ml dropper! Now off to finish the paintwork.
Oh and now Google's managed to find the answer to my question, right here on this site. No idea why it couldn before. Beer maybe.
