Regularly replacing the transmission oil in your Cobra CX65 is crucial for smooth clutch operation, better shifting, and extended engine life. Follow these simple steps to ensure your bike is race-ready.

What You’ll Need:

✔ 18 oz (530ml) of VP Racing SAE 80 Gear Lube
✔ 8mm Allen wrench
✔ Drain pan
✔ Funnel
✔ Clean rag

Step-by-Step Guide

🔧 Step 1: Warm Up the Engine

• Ride the bike for 5–10 minutes to warm up the oil.
• The oil should be runny but not too hot to avoid burns.

⚠ Caution: Hot oil and engine components can cause burns—handle with care.

🔧 Step 2: Drain the Old Oil

• Lean the bike slightly or place it on a stand to ensure proper drainage.
• Locate the oil drain bolt on the right side of the engine, near the brake lever.
• Use an 8mm Allen wrench to remove the drain bolt.
• Let the oil drain completely into the pan.

🔧 Step 3: Reinstall the Drain Bolt

• Ensure the rubber gasket is in place.
• Torque the bolt to 11 Nm do not overtighten.

🔧 Step 4: Refill with Fresh Oil

• Remove the oil fill plug using an 8mm Allen wrench.
• Carefully pour (470 ml) of transmission oil into the oil fill opening.
• If the engine has been completely flushed (e.g., after a rebuild), use 18 oz (530 ml).
• Reinstall the oil fill plug, ensuring the rubber gasket is in place.

🔧 Step 5: Properly Dispose of Used Oil

• Never dump oil on the ground—it’s illegal and harmful to the environment.
• Take it to an auto parts store or recycling center.

🔹 Every 5–10 hours of ride time
