Fill to the lowest thread on the fill plug. That is full.
Ok, that's what I did, thanks! Ready for Harvest Classic in Fredericksburg

One note on the final drive fill, it will help to add about half the oil - and really, it is grease with some pretty good viscosity - and turn the wheel to allow the heavy grease to settle into the final drive. It is possible to get an airpocket which prevents the final drive from taking a full fill. Turn the wheel or give it a little time. Then fill to the lowest thread of the fill plug.
Are you running fuel filters? .......... I could remove the crossover connection that would help. Does it serve any other purpose than supplying gas to both carbs even if one petcock is clogged up? What is everyone else doing? As always, thanks!
I am using a tiny lawn mower filter since there is no room for anything bigger.
Leave the cross over where it is.
With regard to "tiny lawn mower filter", I've been running these for years; one on each side (1/4" fuel line size fit OEM cloth covered fuel line)), mounted between the petcock and the cross over fitting.
Is it possible to put on the crashbars without taking the header off?
I'm assuming you're talking about the bars shown in your first post. ......
I'm sure you've read about taking those exhaust nuts off. If they haven't been off in a while, they could very well gall and ruin threads. It needs the special tool, along with time and penetrating fluid. If you try and turn them off and they start but then grab or tighten up, better stop and reassess. Likely the best thing at that point would be to cut them off and install new ones.
You found the part but didn't pursue it to the next diagram frame. You'll find the part number thee. That part is still available.
Not sure what I am doing wrong. If I go here, only parts 1-5 are listed. Same at A&S Motorcycles.

BoxerBruce pointed you right at it. You are looking at diagram _0308. Now go to the next diagram, _0309 and you will see parts 8 thru 14.
