Help! just bought a 97 800 classic, no manual, haven't had a bike for 14 years, although this is my fourth bike, it's only the second Kaw (had a 440) and man, am I doing stupid things, at the age of 55. Looked in the silver oil plug on the left side, didn't see any oil, wondered where the dipstick was, and just dumped a quart on for good measure. Then realized I might have made a mistake, called a biker friend and he reminded me about the little round glass. Well, I was now above the round glass, so I had to drain the quart back out (at least, now I know where the drain plug is).
Well, I sure hope that the overflow tank for the cooling system is on the right side behind the engine, I found a clear tube and a L (I assume for Low) and a H on it.
Thanks for the advice about running regular gas, also, without this form I wouldn't know that there is a rev limiter. Anything else I need to know? Oh, yeah, I assume that there is no separate gear box with transmission fluid or anything, it's all done by the engine oil, right? I sure appreciate any suggestions.
By the way, the bike only had 2300 miles on it when I got it 6 days ago.
