The oil you use AMSOL 10w-40 is marked MA and is designed for wet clutches - so you do not have any problems. :thmup:

Using oil without these signs will gluing the clutch discs and their destruction usually after driving 200 -300 miles.

Checking the sight glass is a useless procedure. It worked will on the ZRX1100 I had but the one on the Voyager is a joke. It will lie to you constantly. Drain the crankcase while the bike is on the center stand, drain from both drain plugs and remove and replace the filter. Once the filter is replaced get a measurement can with an attached funnel, available everywhere including parts stores and Walmart. Put EXACTLY 3 qts. 22 oz. of oil in the bike, not a drop more or less. Run this for 3000 miles and change oil every 3000 miles. I never look for an oil level. If you are not showing oily residue out your exhausts, don't have any oil spots on the floor of your garage under the bike, don't worry about the oil level. Trust me on this one. Your oil will be fine.
