oil capacity 72 250

Hi guys
Would like to know the gear case oil capacity on my 1972 250WR. Thanks for your help !

250 ML oil dexron !
or
oil front forks 15 w !

Not sure if there is a difference between a 72 and a 73, but 250ml's seems very low, unless visiteur is talking about fork amounts. I'm putting 1500ml's in my 73 WR250 crancase. There should be a check level bolt in your side case though. I don't fill it to that, but when I tip the bike a little, oil comes out of the check hole.

1500 ml's would be 1.585 quarts if my conversion is right . Thanks for the input !

This was also very helpful for me ... I just bought a 73 husqvarna 250wr nd I cant seem to get the level screw out so knowing the mL it holds id very helpful.

According to my old oil stained Clymer manual...MJ Series (72, 73):
> 1.6 liter for trans/clutch. Back then they spec'd 20 wt motor oil. See other threads for discussion about what oil to use. Many (including me) use Type F ATF
> For the forks: 6 oz per leg. They also spec'd engine oil back in the day. Now use one of the good fork oils...your choice of weights...20 or 30 would be a good place to start.

Very nice bike. It has a CR pipe on it. Sure it's not a CR?

I'm currently rebuilding a '73 250WR, very helpful info guys! Thanks

The number on motor is 2032 and frame is Mk09746 which puts at a 73 husky 250wr. I think someone switched the tank and exhaust. Im having trouble with throttle cables but I think someone switched the twist throttle, which makes my vintage viking cables I bought not work. Will someone put up pics of what the twist throttle should look like. I did get the bike fired up by the way. Starts up every time.

Mine came with a Magura Trap Door 307. I switched it out for a Whirlpull. It came with the cable which will fit most Vintage bikes and Bings. Motion Pro and Gunner Gasser also make them.
This one isn't mine, but is the same thing. Plenty of pictures too.

Where could I get the whirlpool one from with a cable that matches up. I just wanna get a twist throttle and cable that mtch up and will work with my bing carb. Also I need front rim, I noticed a spoke busted out of rim. Sprokets and chain. Any suggestions for them or places to get them from
