Step 1: Locate the transmission fluid sight glass.
On most Honda ATVs, the transmission fluid sight glass is located on the right side of the engine, just below the rear brake master cylinder.
Step 2: Clean the sight glass.
Use a clean cloth to wipe away any dirt or debris that may be obscuring the sight glass.
Step 3: Check the fluid level.
With the ATV parked on level ground and the engine running, look at the fluid level in the sight glass. The fluid level should be between the "FULL" and "ADD" marks on the sight glass.
Step 4: Add fluid if necessary.
If the fluid level is low, add enough transmission fluid to bring it up to the "FULL" mark on the sight glass. Use only the type of transmission fluid specified in your ATV's owner's manual.
Step 5: Recheck the fluid level.
After adding transmission fluid, start the ATV and let it run for a few minutes. Then, recheck the fluid level to make sure it is still between the "FULL" and "ADD" marks on the sight glass.
