Champion s/a fluid change.

[Ramnight]

I an not sure about the SA, but I changed the fluid in my IRS this past weekend, and it was real tight getting at the top fill plug to remove it.

I took a 1/4" piece of soft flexable tubing like they use in fish tank air lines about 16 inches long, and glued a short piece of 3/8" tubing on one end for the bottle of Mobile-1 75/140 fluid cap to fit into. I snaked the tubing between the frame and fender into the fill hole. It worked real good.

Looking for advice how to check differential fluid on our trike. AZ shop bills 3-4 hours labor to change fluid Ouch ! Hard to believe.

Champion used about 3 different mfg for their axles.I think most of the last s/a were toyota.There will be a check plug no matter who's it is.Mine was right on the back and the drain on the bottom.

Thanks Rhino & Marc. Champion AZ says you have to pump old fluid out and new fluid in which seems to align with some of the old posts Ive seen. 3-4 hours labor is significant which tells me they have to dis-assemble much of the top end for access ? Tks. Tom
