Drain plug for trans should be between the shocks.
For the primary you'll need to pull the cover and fill it with a funnel.
Most say replace the gasket when you do but if it comes off clean you can probably get away with reusing it. For a couple dollars it's probably best to replace and not end up with a leak.
You should keep an eye on this site and ebay and look for a shop manual for your bike. There worth the money.

Tranny plug is between shocks under bike. I believe it is a 1/4" allen plug and you remove the derby cover to put oil back into the primary. Do yourself a favor and buy a manual for your bike they are worth every penny.

Pull the round derby cover to fill the primary.
