I recently changed the fluids on my '06 EGC. The dealer said 1 quart should do it on the primary, but I thought I had remembered reading somewhere about the fluid should come up to the bottom of the clutch's???? Mine didnt, so should I add more until it does?

 

I don't have an answer for you but do have a piggy-back question.


When you drain the oil plug does that also drain the primary?

No, seperate plugs for motor, tranny, and primary. Primary plug is on the bottom of the primary facing out away from the bike.

They have their own drain plugs. One for each, 3 total.

 

I believe 1 quart is all you need for an '06

no, there is a separate plug to drain each plus another for the tranny.

 

yupper 06 1 qt... works fine..

 

FWIW, TC96's require 38 oz., or at least my '07 SG does.

 

I never paid attention to the level. Maybe I should, but I always just add a quart in my 02 and 38ounces in my SG.

 

ONE quart ONLY!

If you over-fill the primary, by even "just a little", you risk over-dampning the clutch basket & plates. It's a "semi-dry" set up, and too much fluid on those parts lets things slip and slide way more than you'd want.

When in doubt, read your factory service manual. If you don't have one, get one. Sure, they're kinda spendy, but there's no substitute for the information in them. Get the chrome AFTER you get the manual....

 

1 quart in the '06 primary is all it takes.
