The primary takes 38 oz. With the bike sitting level, fill to bottom of clutch basket. Usually takes 38 oz. If you are doing this yourself, Make sure you have the proper Torx socket. It's a #27 Torx.

The Transmission takes 1 quart. Don't use engine oil in the Tranny. Get a good Gear oil like Redline V-twin tranny oil or Amsoil Severe gear.

If you don't have a service manual PM me, I might be able to help.
Exactly, which oil are you changing? Covered by this answer.
