Whats the story for the roadster. I can't find anything on fluid replacement for the gearbox. Is the gearbox lubricated with the engine oil? I can't find anything in the manual either. Probably a bumb question.
Thanks
 
Always better to ask than ruin your bike.

The transmission is lubed by the engine oil.
 
Don't make the mistake of filling the oil tank all the way....the oil won't fit! First put about 4 quarts in, and start the engine for a few seconds to burp the oil tank. Then put the rest of the oil in. Don't ask me how I learned this and no it wasn't from reading the manual!

There is so much info you can get from the VIN, maybe if they would add one extra digit that would range from 1-5 so we'd know what day of the week it was built on, we could avoid those Monday, and Friday bikes.
