In the bottom of the primary case. Your drain plug has a magnet on it and will catch the majority of the lose pieces of metal shavings.

Starter are self contained one unit and sealed on the jackshaft end. You can remove the starter as one unit. You no longer have to remove the primary cover to un-bolt the jackshaft bolt to remove the starter. To check it you have to disconnect the battery, remove the connector and battery cable, un-bolt the starter and pull it out of the inner primary housing. No primary cover removal is needed
