Ok, so I went riding this past weekend for the first time on a used 07 450ER that i just bought. I looked over everything to the tenth degree before going out. oil in both the tranny and the motor side were right where they should be.
After about 5hrs of riding i check the oil in the sight glass and see nothing but oil all the way to the top. so i check the tranny oil by taking the oil fill bolt out and tipping the quad up on one side... nothing comes out.
I'm thinking??? ok, this can't be good. i put some oil in the transmission (a little over 400ml) to fill it up and drained the motor side and filled with new.
I'm sure somehow oil has leaked from the tranny to the motor side of the engine, all with no leaks on the outside of the motor. the vent hoses are not plugged and seem to be breathing just fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
