Changing the sub transmission oil on your Honda Talon is crucial for maintenance. In this video, we will guide you through the process of changing the sub transmission oil on a 2019 Honda Talon 1000R. The same process is applicable to other models like the 1000X and two or four-seater variations.
First, it’s essential to understand the intervals for changing the sub transmission oil. Typically, it should be done after the break-in period and then every 200 hours or 1200 miles, whichever comes first.
What You Need
To perform this task, you will require the following items:
- Tusk sub transmission oil change kit
- Choice of oil
- Crush washer
- Safety glasses
- Rubber gloves
- Rags
- 17-millimeter combo wrench
- Ratio Rite funnel
- Drain pan
- Contact cleaner
- Machine ramps (optional)
The Process
If you decide to raise the machine, ensure you adhere to all safety precautions. Once ready, place a drain pan underneath the sub transmission drain bolt, located on the driver’s side of the engine area. Remove the drain bolt using a 17-millimeter combo wrench.
Clean the sealing surface and drain plug, install the new crush washer, and torque it to 21 foot-pounds. After cleaning up any residual oil, remove the dipstick from the sub transmission, clean the area, and utilize a funnel to fill up the sub transmission with 1.28 liters of oil.
Check the oil level using the dipstick and ensure it is at the recommended level. Once done, reinstall the dipstick, and the sub transmission oil change is complete.
