    There is a cavity back in there, where the drain plug is, that collects gunk.
    Yeh, if you drive in smooth roads, it, the gunk, might stay in there. But take a chance, rinse it out. CZ

        There is a plug in the top of the Middle Drive, just below the air cleaner on the left side of the bike. That is the fill for the Middle Drive. There is a diagram on here for how to make a depth gage like the factory one to get the level correct.

            80-90 gear oil or a 75-140 synthetic gear oil.
