Jeez, upright - eyeball it - touching the clutch? - ride.

 

On a re-fill, how much that NEEDS to go in depends on how much came out. If you used some of the tricks found on line to get a thorough drain you will need more than if you just casually drain and re-fill. The manual tells what "full" looks like and it suggests about 38 ounces so you have enough on hand. Fill to the proper level as per the manual, end of discussion. This is like, if your car manual says you have an 18 gallon fuel tank, you insist on pumping 18 gallons of fuel at every fuel stop no matter how much runs out on the drive as you pump.

You can run the primary several freaking ounces low and it will hurt nothing, the sky will not fall, the clutch will not burn up, the bearings will not be toast.

 

You think?

 

So is a freaking ounce a metric measurement? Or is it the same as a regular ounce?

 

It is an insignificant amount when talking about primary lube.

 

When I changed mine on the 1st 1000mi maint. I measured what came out and it was exactly 38oz. 38 went back in.
