Oil changing oil

[tubby57]

I might be beeing a bit fick but I've decided to change the oil on my TC88 streetbob. The book shows the drain bung as under the g/box pointing straight down. Having removed this I got about 1ltr of oil out. Is the book correct or have they swapped pictures with the g/box drain bung? I hope not as I can't find a socket to fit the g/box filler!

well u sure have removed the wrong plug,, just to make doubly sure u could check on ur engine dipstick plug u will see that the oil in the sump will still be there and the plug u removed was the gearbox , which holds about a litre , had u removed the engine sump plug u would have recoverd over 3 litres , on the dyna its located on the left side underneath looking at the bike from the left and on the side of the sump not directly beneath thats the gearbox one

As I thought the book has the photos transposed Thanks for your time.

Oh well, so now you get to change the gearbox too, might as well do all 3 and do the primary as well now..dont overtighten the drainplug tho....
