Transmission fluid capacity is approximately 1.0 quart (0.95
liter). For best results, drain fluid while hot.
1. Raise rear wheel off floor using REAR WHEEL SUP-
PORT STAND (Part No. B-41174). This prevents trans-
mission fluid from spilling out of the clutch inspection
cover opening.
2. Remove muffler to access drain plug. See
EXHAUST SYSTEM.
3. See Figure 1-16. Position a suitable container under
drain plug. Remove plug and drain fluid.
4. Wipe any foreign material from the magnetic drain plug.
Reinstall plug. Tighten to 14-30 ft-lbs (19-41 Nm).
5. Remove four TORX screws with washers from clutch
inspection cover. Remove clutch inspection cover from
primary cover. Do not damage or dislodge Quad ring
from primary cover.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the transmission with fluid. Overfilling
may cause rough clutch engagement and incomplete
disengagement, clutch drag and/or difficulty finding neu-
tral at engine idle.
