To the best of my knowledge, your Duece takes three quarts of oil with a filter change. The transmission holds 20-24 ounces of oil. And, your primary takes 38-44 ounces of oil.
Your oil tank has a dipstick in it. Fill the oil tank until the level is just above the lower line with the bike on the stand. The lower line is "FULL COLD" and the upper line is "FULL HOT". Do not overfill.
The transmission is the same way, On the right side clutch release cover, there's a plug that takes a 3/8" Allen or Hex key to remove. It too has a dipstick marked the same way the oil tank dipstick is marked. Check the oil in the transmission with the bike standing straight up.
In the primary, you fill the oil level to where it just touches the lowest part of the clutch spring. The outer clutch housing is bright aluminum. Inside this is a round dark colored piece of metal. This is the clutch spring. Fill or check the oil with the bike standing straight up. Do not overfill as it will make your clutch drag and you will not be able to find neutral with the engine running.
because its a dry sump. you have to drain the oil from the oil tank. Theres a hose under the tank. I dont know where the drain hose is on a duece, you'll have to look around
on the right side follow one of the hoses off the oil tank,it should go down to the frame and hitch to it. On the bottom of the frame you will find the drain bolt
There are two drain bolts on the bottom...one for the engine oil, and one for the transmission. If you drained them both, but only filled the oil, then you are running a dry transmission.
The transmission fill is forward of the oil fil. It is a round plug, with a 3/8 inch hex (allen) wrench hole in it.
