Remove DYNA drain plug under center of transmission and refill it through the 3/8 inch ALLEN socket oil filler/dipstick plug on the front of the clutch release cover
The oil and transmission drain plugs are on the bottom of the transmission. The engine oil tank is there. The center plug is the engine oil and the plug on the side is the transmission drain plug, I think. I don't work on the newer bikes and I'm not sure about which plug is which. I think I'm right though. I work on the older bikes (shovelheads and such) that the dealers will no longer work.
Look on the right side of the bike for a chrome cover on the end of the transmission. If you can't find it, simply follow the clutch cable and it runs right into the cover. There is a plug in this cover that requires an Allen wrench or hex key to remove. Stand the bike up straight and remove the plug. The oil level should be between the two lines on the dip stick. The transmission holds 20-24 ounces of oil.
There are two plugs on the bottom of the transmission, one for the engine oil, one for the tranny lube. The engine oil drain is the one that is closest to the left front corner of the oil pan. The other plug is the transmission.
The engine requires three quarts of oil, the tranny takes 20-24 ounces of oil.. Check the engine oil with the bike on the side stand. There are two marks on the dipstick. The upper mark is the "FULL HOT", the lower mark is the 'FULL COLD" mark. Keep the oil level between these two marks and do not overfill.
On the transmission, on the right side of the transmission, you'll see a chrome clutch release cover. It's behind the exhaust system. There is a plug that takes a 3/8" Allen or Hex key to remove. Check the oil level with the bike standing straight up.
As for what lubricants to use, I always use nothing but Harley-Davidson oil. 20W50 Syn 3 oil in the engine, transmission, and primary on 2000 and later model bikes. However, you can use other oils such as Amsoil, Royal Purple, Mobil, Motor Factory, and many others. Synthetic or petroleum based, your choice. Check the website of the manufacturer that you wish to use.
The oil pan is on the bottom of the transmission. There are two drain plugs on the oil pan. They used to be one on the left front corner and one in the center. Now, they are both on the front edge of the pan right next to each other. The one on the outside is the oil drain plug. The transmission drain takes a hex key or allen wrench where the oil drain takes a standard wrench or socket.
I will walk you thru it from the manual. The
transmission filler plug/dipstick location : DYNA Models is located
under the battery box and just above the exhaust top pipe on the right
side of the scooter.
The dipstick/filler plug should be a shiny chrome allen headed looking
bolt. When the dipstick/filler plug has been removed there is an F above
a triangle toward the top if fluid is a the F it is full and the
towards the bottom of the stick there is a another triangle and an A
this means you need to add fluid if fluid level is at the A triangle
marker. Oh, Tranny fluid specs are 32 OZS. I recommend using ONLY
Genuine Harley Davidson Fluids.
If
you need to drain or change the fluid please let me know I will walk
you through step by step. Also if you need to know about the primary or
engine lube specs please let me know as I have the manual sitting right
here in front of me to assist you in any way I can.
I REALLY REALLY Hope this assisted you and will be more than happy to assist further step by step if you need it.

the tranny plug is behind the oil spout its usually a big allen head bolt. You should use a quality oil like AMSOIL 20W50 motorcycle oil or AMSOIL gear oil. I have the 20W50 in mine and really like the benifit of not having a pultrolium product in my bike. You can get the AMSOIL online a http://hbsynlube.com/sales. You'll beglad you changed it.
get an allen key of the correct size saw of (from the long end) enough to fit in the hole plus enough to get a spanner on , fit the sawn allen key to the hole and use an appropriate spanner to undo
