C'mon, man. Maybe you ought to just take it to the dealer for fluid service. Get a manual if you are gonna do it yourself.

I was told by someone at work that it is a belt primary....I dunno, never looked. I only have owned the bike for 2 weeks. I have not had time to do any fluid swaps. Its been like 25 degrees, and crappy out. I never looked inside the primary yet. When did they quit doing belt primaries stock? I have been more occupied with redoing the body parts lately.

If you are running a belt in the primary then pull a inspection cover and look. Quickest way I know to tell.

Well, if you don't need oil for the primary, you can always use the extra for a sexual performance aid.
