need oil capacity and fluids info By fflintstone (Read 542 times)

Hey ,JR,alleyoop,and any other scooterists that may know,we all have changed our oil and antifreeze and added gas to our scoots,but do we have a chart or other info actually detailing the oil capacity and gear lube capacity?I thought we had everything covered in the list that JR installed in here but it does not include oil capacity or gas tank ,or gear case caps---I had a guy call me today and ask how much oil is in the 250 B Roketa and I could not remember the capacity--I told him to look on the forum ,but I didn't find the info myself either--anyhow,thanks for the info in advance--happy trails,fflintstone

the 250 B is the Linhai clone, so its 1.4 liters of oil. The gas is 3.4 gallons. The advice i got on gear oil is to drain it, then add until its full.

Thanks trailheadmike...I did know all this but my age has caught up to me and I forgot it all---and we did have a chart or something on our other forum before moving over here--or was it on the scootdawg site--sigh --oh,well,moot point now--happy trails,fflintstone

Add to the list, the 54B-250 (Honda clone) takes about .8L of engine oil and maybe .25L of gear oil. Magnum with the 276cc engine takes about 1.2L engine and on the tranny casing it says .75L for gear oil (haven't done that yet). I would assume the latter is also true for Zodiac, Compeller, Tornado, anything that has that engine and tranny configuration.

Thanks ellpee,this should take care of most 250 cc engines we have on the forum--JR has a list of all the parts we need like spark plugs and stuff--happy trails,fflintstone

I have done this before and nobody seems to care or listen. So I do it again.

That letter B is certainly a messed up way of naming scooters. In some the letter 54B means the horizontal engine with the larger output. The one with the number 54 and no letter means the vertical engine and smaller output. I have never really figured out what the 250B means as that is sometimes shown and other times not.

Scroll down to see the engine shape.

No photo of the engine is provided.

I have seen scoots advertise as 250B and the side of my machine is labeled that way but have no clue why. I do have the vertical engine in my scoot and the side and legal papers all read MC 54 250 with the B added only on the rear panels of my scoot.

OK, now I will wait till once again I see folks talking about their more powerful 54 250B or the 54B Honda clone as there is none that I can find.
