Ok, when and how do I change the primary fluid on the lightning?

You change it at each oilchange. The drain plug is under the clutch inspection cover. Take off the clutch inspection cover for the refill after you put the drain plug back in ; ) 1 quart is what it takes for the refill. Oh and you drain the primary after its warm and while its on the sidestand.

K. Hmmm. Think I overfilled it just a tad. Didn't put in on a stand... Gotta get one some day. Anyone recommend a good one?

After you drained it you probably need to put less than a quart in.

Make sure its level with the bottom of the clutch diaphragm spring while using a rear wheel stand (bike needs to be straight up).

Overfilling will give you a rough clutch and shift.

Didn't notice a problem with that. I'll fix it when 500 miles comes around or I get paid. Whichever comes first.
