Ok, I downloaded a manual, I don't have an owners manual...

I'm mechanically inclined, but I'm so lost on a Buell oil change...

I see the clutch side oil drain, which is for the transmission? Where does that fill from?

I see the oil dip stick in the swingarm, but where is the regular oil drain?

Can someone give me some ideas on where to start? Clues would be a great help. Thanks!

There should be an owner's manual for the XB12R available to read on the Buell site.

https://www.buell.com/en_us/owners/manuals/manuals 07.asp

You can register on the site for the Owner's section that has manuals and more available.

I use Formula + for the primary (clutch and transmission), and a good 20W50 synthetic oil for the engine. I use Harley oil filters. Be sure to drain the oil after the engine is throughly warmed up.

Best wishes, Jim

Thanks a ton! That will get me closer to racing next weekend.
