rg 150 maintainance

[2 schmoke]

sup guys...just got a 98 rg 150 a few weeks ago...but the previous owners taxed the tool kit and lost the workshop manual!! the f***ers!!!

anyway...just wonderinif any1 of u guys has 1 and could answer my q's...

when (km's) should i change the transmission oil, brake fluid, and what oil should i use for the transmission...ive had a few different suggestions like 20w40 but i thought id better check..

Transmission oil. Just go to a bike shop & choose some 2 stroke gear oil. Change it every year should be fine if you don’t do huge kms or every 6 months if you do. Assume that no body has ever done it before. Brake fluid 2 years max, 1 year preferably. Again assume. . .

Oil capacity will be written on by the oil filler.

BOOK THE BIKE IN TO HAVE THE POWER VALVES CLEANED. This is a weak link if it is not done. They need to be kept clean every so often & checked for wear. If they seize up and/or fret the rivet holding them together they will fall into the piston & it will not be good. Local Suzuki shop should be well versed.

Hi Mate,

RG-150 :niceone: ..Ive got a KRR, 04 model...dont know if its faster than a RG.. I think the KRR is 30 BHP and the RG is 34.. higher tuned I guess....

Oh no another spelling deviant. Hitcher will love this LOL

Welcome mate. Best bet is if you want a full check over, take the bike to a pro, you REALLY need to ok! Dont ask why, just do as we say

Well done to ask these questions.
Some thing I do with any bike when I first buy it is to change all fluids.
This gives you a base line to work from in the future.
I change my engine oil every 5000km,brake an forks every six months,valve clearances an cam chain adjustment every six months,drive chain lube at lest
every 500kms often less,oil cables once a year,grease swing arm an stearing head bearings once a year.
Now days I use the most expensive lubes I can find and belive it makes a difference.For steering head an swing arm bearings I use marine grease.
If it can stand up to the marine environment it must be good for bikes,so far so good.
Cheers an good luck.
