  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,8 liter
  • Code: 5

Additional Notes

  • The Kawasaki KX 500 (KX500-E1 through E8) carries a manual transmission fluid capacity of 0.8 liter, which represents a service fill volume typical of a compact motocross transmission where the fluid is drained and refilled without a full teardown of internal components.
  • The 0.8 liter figure applies consistently across the entire KX500-E1 through E8 production span covering 1989-1996, indicating no capacity revision was introduced across those eight sequential variants.
  • The single capacity value listed under normal use conditions means the 0.8 liter fill applies to routine maintenance intervals rather than a post-overhaul or first-fill scenario, where internal passages and cavities may otherwise require a slightly different volume to reach the correct operating level.
