Help
Hey guys i have been looking into changing my own oils. But i am kinda confused. B/c i know where the oil drians and goes. But its the primary case oil and trans oil that i am confused about. People keep refering to 2 different oils for the trans and primary. But where is the trans drain located and primary. Or are they the same thing. I have a 2002 1200 custom. Hope i was clear enough. I haave the service manual and it says primary/transmission oil.

Thanx so much guys i needed the help with that. I know if i serach the forum it will give me alot on oil and i have done that. But i just want to know whats a good thing to use in the primary/trans? I am planning on using amsoil for the engin. Seems like everyone says its great. But trying to find a trans/primary oil is hard. Also do i have to take of the primary cover? I have the service manule and its telling me to loosen the chain alot and all this stuff and that worries me. Thanks for the help and i hope i didnt start another this oil or that.

You just need to remove the small inspection cover and refill with 1 quart of oil. They are probably referring to checking and adjusting the primary chain tension while you have that small inspection cover off.
