I just got my 00 400ex and I want to change the oil in it just to be on the safe side.. I found that there is 2 drain plugs one on the motor and one on the oil tank... But I can't figure out how to refill them? Is there 2 fill holes?

To change the oil:

Losen the 10 mm bolt on the right side of the crankcase. (oil should flow from that hole)

Add oil to the engine through the dipstick/oil filler hole as needed.

theres only one drain at the bottom of motor and only filler located at the top of the tank fill slowly it holds ruffly a quart and 3/4.

      Has anyone found aftermarket CDI for Big Bear 400?
      By Callaway
      I am trying to diagnose a no spark issue with my 02 Big Bear 400 and I am really hoping it is not a CDI.  I have done the test on the stator and I believe that is faulty.  I ordered a new aftermarket one from a the jungle website and it tested bad right out of the box so I am waiting for a different one to arrive from an ATV parts supplier.  I started looking out of curiosity at CDI units and it seems if it is for a big bear you are SOL.  Kodiaks, no problem.  Big Bear. No such luck.

      2006 LT-F400F stator/generator cover change: What is the best way to check that all is good with the transfer operation before reassembling?
      By middlebrookgt
      I have replaced the cracked stator cover on my non-running 2006 LT-F400F that I purchased recently, checked all the shafts vs the service manual and pics and advice here.  I replaced missing gears, bushings and washers, made sure that truth marks were all aligned properly, that the shift cam springs felt like they returned properly, etc.  IAfter installing the new stator cover I checked the transfer lever for proper movement from L-H-R and then cranked it up.  Happily, it runs and changes gears well in L,  but it will not shift into H or R for anything.  I have opened it back up and am going back through it looking for the missing puzzle piece(s) but how can I best check that I have everything right this time before buttoning it back up?

      Change 2000 TRX250 Top End to 2007 Type?
      By C2INS
      Does anyone know if they're interchangeable?  I have a 2002 TRX20TE and 2007 TRX250TE, so getting to a set of common engine parts would be ideal.

      Oil refills/ drain
      By Southbitz
      hi im new to this but have done oil drains on my dirt bike 
       
      but I took wrong drain bolt out of my quad.: Ive emotied the gear box oil and what appears to be my chain tensioner part. Drained oil out both plugs thinking it was my engine oil!!
       
      I’ve refilled the gear oil from a oil point and not the engine oil as I’ve done that through the dipstick refill point… im just really worried about the oil that came out the tensioner part .. will there be a refill point for that separate from gear oil refill. Ives struggled for 4 days for information and goung round the bend..  Chinese quad is a 10ten 180 RXR 
      please if someone could answer this as I’m worried to run the quad until I’m sure I don’t need to find another fill point for the tensioner part ?
