    I can't get a hold of an owners manual and would like to change the trans oil. I found the drain plug on the bottom, but does the new oil go into the fitting where the vent tube is? Thanx

    Not sure if there is much difference between the 72 and the 73, but I put 1500cc's in my 73.
    If you need more information, let me know. I have the original owners manual that came with mine and it has all the other specs as well.

    But that will get a half dozen replies from others that have their own favorites!

    I have used both ATF Type F and my favorite, Bel Ray Gear Saver. Forrest recommends Bel Ray, so I only use ATF if I'm riding in the winter months.

    Gord, would you be willing to make me a copy of your 1973 Owners manual? I would be happy to pay you for materials and your time and effort. If you choose not to, it is ok, I know its a pain.
    Thanks

    I'm thinking I might be able to scan it and send it to you that way. If I can figure out how!
    I will need your email address.
    I also have an old Clymer manual that covers your 72. Remember, mine's a 73, but there probably isn't that much difference.
    You might be able to find the Clymer manual on line. But my original manual that came with the bike has all the neat little bits of information like which nuts are right hand and which ones are left.

    Gord, I did buy the Clymer and Haines manuals, which are helpful but they don't cover the small details that I have been struggling with.
