How do you check the oil for a 1999 YZ80? I've looked for the site glass. It doesn't have one. I've checked for a dipstick. There isn't one. Please help!!!

You need to look in the user manual and see how many ML's of oil it takes then drain it and put in that much oil. you can buy aftermarket dipsticks but they wont read correctly for your engine most likely but if you know how many ml's your engine takes you can make a mark on the new fancy shiny aftermarket dipstick so you have a refenrece to check it before you ride. Did I mention I want to buy a new aftermarket billet gas cap and dipstick?

We ARE talking TRANS oil right? This is a 2 stroke. You should have a check bolt.
Or is it oil injected as in PW 80.

Talkin about both. No its not oil injected. The only thing there are is where a dipstick should go. But just a plug and when u look in you see gears. Then theres the drain plug. So how do you check the fluids without draining them out to check.

Thats your trans oil. There should be a check bolt on the same side, You undo it and the oil should have a light flow. As for Engine oil it's mixed with your gas. You REALLY need to get the manual SS.

It is in front of your kicker and cover. Its a small bolt with a copper washer.
If you read my (Before you ride guide) on this page or next. I show a picture.
Yours should be in approx the same place.
