Where do i put transmission oil?

[GrkBlaster]

Where do I add transmission oil for my yamaha blaster. How much do I add. Thanks so much.

There's a little black cap on the side of your engine, on the kicker side. Fill it up till its half way up the site glass. I think it takes a little under a quart.

[yamakazee]

how do you know when you need to add some?

[ky 2stroker]

im no blaster guy, but theres like a little clear round window in the botton left (?) of the side cover that your suppose to use to check the oil level with. I guess if you dont see any oil, then add a little till you can see it

u got it ky, just look at the site glass, and u'll see two lines next to it. u want to keep the oil level in between those lines. sometimes its really hard to see the level so wipe it off with a wet rag, and make sure u have some bright light shining in there so u can actually see the oil level.

I dont have a site glass on my 89 blaster. Is this only on newer ones? Would low oil level casue the clutch to slip under power?

No site glass on a 89? do you have a dipstick then? the site glass in on the right hand side at the bottom of the clutch cover near where the foot peg bolts to the frame
