I had the motor out of my 2014 gts300 to get a broken bolt removed .
Since I have 2 other scoots I haven't been too worried about getting it back together .

Now its time , I run this one in the winter with my Termoscud skirt .

Anyway .
I just got the engine back in .
I'm draining the gear oil and it doesn't seem like much came out .

I'm wondering it has run somewhere else while it was out .
It could have been flipped and rotated around all different ways .
Can it go somewhere else ?
Is this a bad thing ?

Very unlikely to have gotten somewhere else. There really isn't all that much oil in the gearbox. My Vespa 150cc only has 100ml of transmission oil; my Scarabeo 460cc only has 250ml of transmission oil.

My new 300 HPE also has 250 ml of oil for transmission. You should not worry

There is a vent hose that comes out of the gearbox where oil can run out. It a free to air system. You bike holds just 250ml of gear oil so not much. You probably haven't lost any.

Just refill with new and make sure the level is correct.

If you put in 250 ml you over filled it. HPE Vespa uses 150 ml of gear oil.
Bought a 150 ml syringe just for adding gear oil to the Vespa.

By the way, I tried adding 250 ml the first change and it was way over the full mark. Then I opened my manual to check specs.
