Just trying to get him started in the right direction. BTW Manuals are $60 or $48 from Surdyke + shipping. First time you use it and saves a trip to the dealer that equals $60 - $100 saved. If you know all the torque specs and clearances, good for you. Online is great, until it's not.

And the right direction is certainly where you're pointing him no doubt. But the OP asked how to check his trans fluid and you reply with "before you buy anything get a service manual".


I didn't see him mention buying anything or adding anything to his bike or asking about a service to the bike that would require a service manual.


As myself and others pointed out in this thread, the answer to his question is in the free owners manual.
