Default Primary fluid filling?
I changed the primary fluid on my 13 SG with it on the jiffy stand. The book says to fill it with the bike upright. I was able to fill it with the recommended amount of oil without spillage. Does anyone see a problem with this or has anyone done it this way?

That should be fine, I do the same except place a board under my jiffy stand to get more vertical. Don't use the fancy HD funnel, I just put a small funnel into the edge between clutch and primary cover.

If you are draining it through the bottom plug and just removing the derby cover, then you only need to put in 38 oz. Remember this.
