Dude, I've tried to answer your thread three times and can't post.

The transmission plug is up between the shocks.&nbsp\\; I break it loose with a 5/8" socket then back it out the rest of the way with an allen wrench.&nbsp\\; The plugs can be a little tight on older bikes.

His bike has a primary inspection cover.&nbsp\\;You can remove it to fill the primary.&nbsp\\;It has four allen bolts.
&nbsp\\;
Three quarts of oil will be just fine.
