Where's the filler hole for the 5-speed gearbox? (left foot shift, if that matters). :-[

That's a good question. I have a 4-speed, but I pulled up my Snidal manual to check the 5-speed.....and it doesn't say.

65 and AVL guys?

It's that large bolt on the right side close to the kickstart shaft.

The oil level hole is a allen head bolt (one of many) that holds the gearbox side cover on.  Looking at the right side cover it's at 8:00 position.  And very easy to spot as it has a copper seal washer.

Page 83-84 of the owners manual.

Don't overfill it.
