Someone will chime in he with the proper ounces, but with it sitting level, fill until the lube hits the clutch basket. Probably less than the factory recommendation, but plenty.

24-26oz primary,  22-24oz transmission, per manual.

I think part of it has to do with the clutch you are running.

I recently had the primary apart swapping the rear belt for a chain (2007 Roadking).  My Bandit Sportsman clutch said to run 14 ounces of oil.

I had never run that little before, but decided to give it a shot & measured out exactly 14 ounces of Redline MTL (I have run that lube for years).

So far, it seems to be working just fine (& I am not running a compensator so that is one less thing to worry about)
