No manual.  How do you change oil on this machine?  Location of oil drain?  Where to put new oil in and how much?  Thanks for your help

Drain is on the bottom of the right case, if you have a skid plate there is an access hole. The drain plug is an allen head plug that is flush to the case. The oil fill is on the left side, right behind the clutch slave cylinder/above and forward of the front sprocket. It too is an allen head plug with a copper washer. The case requires 900cc of oil. 5W/30 motor oil, synthetic or otherwise. Some ATF is acceptable, I don't remember which one. Read this article to help decide. To out oil into the tiny fill hole is a challenge, I cut the bottom out of a water wetter bottle and screwed on a sealant applicator tip. I think that a gear oil bottle would work well as those have small tips. Good luck.

There's also a peek-a-boo window for the oil level, on the clutch cover, down low & to the right. You can pour half a quart straight in, then add an ounce or so 'till the window is full. Caution: make sure the bike is standing straight & level.
