Default did my 1k service and a 16 ulta classic needed..

clutch fluid more black than clear needed changing. Head light ring needed to come off and turn top adjusting screw all the way in. 34 oz of primary fluid not 38. everything else was normal and as should be (except I had to sand gas cap to fit properly at 200 miles)

I think there is a service bulletin on the fuel cap, my wife's 16 SGS needed one called dealer and swapped it out, FYI.

34 oz. because you have the narrow primary cover?

There's a recall on the gas cap.

Clutch fluid usually does go dark pretty quick on most motorcycles. I've never quite understood why, but it does, so I don't think there's much of an issue there with the clutch fluid color, but at 1k miles, that's a surprise, and that it needed changing, that's a REAL surprise.

Clutch fluid will turn back to grey in about 20 miles, kind of a waste of time and energy to do it. Headlight turned in tight, that's a given now you need to flip your passing lamps and have them programed to stay on with low beams.
