Final Drive Emergency

[GSUwhiskers]

Guys I was just changing the final drive oil on my sx and I broke the cap putting it back on... And now I can't find anywhere that sells it, does anyone have a spare? Or can you tell me where to get one? And this may be a stupid question but can I run the bike just to load it up with that cap on?

Two options.

1. I have one 15.00

2. Still available from Honda

CAP, GEAR CASE OIL

Put a piece of duct tape over the hole to load it up.

Yesssssss thank you!! Have you ever ordered from that service Honda website? Good service? I need it by Friday so I'm just wondering if I can over night that bad boy?

[Flyingw]

Yes, I've ordered from Service Honda. They have some of the best rates however, they have to order it in from the Honda supply system so you wouldn't get it by Friday. If I mail mine tomorrow via USPS priority mail, you should have it by Thursday.

[GSUwhiskers]

Okay well how do I need to pay you?

[GSUwhiskers]

BTW when I drained the drive oil it was FULL of pb so apparently my seals are no good, which isn't surprising ha.

Paypal. jamesbaldwin99@gmail.com. Ya, it sounds like the diff will be in need of some attention when you have the time. Send me back your mailing address and I will get it out tomorrow.

PM sent your way Flyingw

...and it goes without saying (and I speak from experience) that just because there is that huge 17 mm hex on that plug doesn't mean it needs a lot of torque on it. Just lightly snug it up.

[GSUwhiskers]

Yes... yes I would say that was definitely the lesson of the day for me. I will be only snugging it next time..

And today I realized the tappet cover on the ATC70 is the same cap that's on the ES/SX diff. The part numbers are different because the finish is different otherwise its the same cap.

[GSUwhiskers]

OHHHH Jim, when you said that in your message earlier I was confused as to why you were telling me that, but I didn't realize you were saying the tappet covers are the same as the diff. cap? I've never seen an ATC70 so I didn't know what the covers looked like.

[Flyingw]

Little bits of information like that are very useful when searching for parts. I was just throwing that out there.

Most all of Hondas covers will pop in the rear. :)
