DOT 5 is best, do not mix or use dot 4 or dot 3/
You can use any SAE certified transmission fluid in your 1987 Harley-Davidson Sportster motorcycle. The manufacturer recommends that you never overfill the transmission fluid.
It tells you on the resovoir cap. Either dot 4 or dot 5. ALWAYS use the DOT that is recommended. SERIOUS injury and/or serious mecanical issues will be incurred otherwise.
Harley Sport-Trans Fluid if you can find it. I use it in mine religiously. Works great!

through the clutch inspection cover. The Primary and transmission share fluid.
1 quart of oil should do the trick
Yes it does. You can check by looking at the brake fluid resevoir, it will say what type of brake fluid to use.
DOT 4. Is the recommended brake fluid by Audi.
Your 1976 sportster holds one quart of fluid. I use HD Sportlube or HD PRI ANDTRANS LUBE, but in the olden days I used a 20 wt non detergent motor oil. This fluid lubes the clutches and transmission gears and primary chain.
I have the same problem - I was recommended a brake fluid drain and brake fluid sensor replacement - haven't done it yet, but hopefully it works. Dealer quoted me $190.
Take off the old one - Put on the new one - Refill the fluid - Bleed the system - Refill the fluid again.
