Primary chaincase lubricant capacity is approximately 1.0
quart (0.95 liter). For best results, drain lubricant while hot.

2. Remove muffler. See EXHAUST SYSTEM in Section 2.
3. See Figure 1-15. Position a suitable container under
transmission lubricant drain plug. Remove drain plug and

CAUTION
Do not overfill the primary chaincase with lubricant.
Overfilling may cause rough clutch engagement and
incomplete disengagement (or clutch drag).

PRODUCTION CHANGE
See Figure 1-17. Beginning with motorcycles built in early
January 1996, the outer clutch release ramp has been
changed. The clutch adjustment and lever freeplay proce-
dures remain the same. The change was made to prevent any
possible contact between the coupler and the primary cover.
