I've got the Clymer manual and have been able to do almost everything. All the oil has been drained... all new grommets have been installed. Engine oil is in and ready to go.

The only thing missing is the transmission fluid. The Haynes manual says to pour it into the open primary.

WTF does that mean? lol

A picture illustration is missing in my manual so if someone would be so kind as to provide one here so I can finish up... I would greatly appreciate it.

 

There is no separate tranny fluid in a Sporty. The primary fluid lubes both the primary and the tranny. Fill the primary to spec and you are good to go.

 

Actually, it depends. Do you have a kickstand?

 

Sorry... I don't think I made myself too clear... lol I am not mechanically inclined at all but I really want to learn to wrench on my Sporty.

I have no idea where the primary is or where it is. LMFAO

A pic with.... FLUID GOES HERE and an arrow would be most beneficial.

 

Look on the left side of the bike when sitting on it and you will see a big round cover held on with many screws. That is the Primary cover. It is saying you have to take that off to pour in primary/transmission fluid after draining it. Make sure the bike is held up and level so it won't spill out.You could also take off the kind of rectangular/oval cover held on with 2 screws that is right above it and add it through there with a long slim funnel.

 

Erm.... yeah.

I put it back on after reading the thread Jock Hog's thread.

 

For you 04, if you haven't removed the Derby cover, you can remove the primary chain inspection cover (2 screws), and just pour the 32oz's in there.

 

Cool.... that is what I needed to know. I took the small oval one off and replaced all the rubber pieces in it.... did the same with the primary cover o ring. Just need to pour on in then.

Many thanks PIAB!

 

That round cover ain't really the primary cover. It is the derby cover.

 

Primary cover/derby cover. Same thing.
As long as he gets the idea.
