As per my post in the road race section, can any of you scrambler types tell me how much oil goes in the 24MX1 gearbox as the RCS box I have had to fit to my Silverstone only has fill and drain plugs.
Thanks, Stan

Scramble boxes have level plugs.Comment

Sorry I don't know
Never had an Mx1 I'm afraid, all my challengers have had the cambarrel box.
There must be a level plug somewhere I'd have thought, it's usually around the height of the Kickstart shaft but at the back of the box??

Thank you for the replies, guys. As I posted on the RR forum, the gearbox I have fitted to my RDS is from an RCS but, as usual for these early 5 speed boxes, it has been converted back to a 4 speed, by the factory I would assume as the box is stamped 4 Speed and has been remarked so the gear indicator pointer shows 4 marks instead of the original 5.
It definitely doesn't have a level plug, probably because it started life as a RR box and not a scrambles box but Colin suggested that the basic box was the same as the one fitted to the 24MX1. Although my cam barrel RDS 5 speed has a level plug at the back, the service notes for the bike list the gearbox capacity as 3/4 pint. As I have always filled to the level plug I have never bothered to measure the amount that goes in!
If all else fails I will put 3/4 pint in the box and hope for the best as the last race of the season is next weekend (12/13th).
The next problem for this winter is to try and fix my cam barrel 5 speeder as I have to convert some 4 speed cam barrel selector forks to the thinner 5 speed type. Not sure what I can do about the free play on the sliding gears though, and I can't justify 2,500 GBP for a Nova 6 speed cluster
