Go with the previous spec. The clutch is the same from 21 to 22.

Looking at the 2022 LRS owner's manual, it shows fill line is at the bottom of the clutch plates, not the spring plate.

Clutch plates are identical between my '21 LRS and your '22 LRS....

Same part numbers, everything. That picture is from your '22 LRS owners manual online on MoCo website.
 
Maybe that pic is for checking on the side stand ? It seems that the oil would spill out when the derby is removed !
No. The owners manual specifies to fill primary with bike straight up.
 
Killin me not being able to post a picture. But if you google Harley primary oil level and look at the images, i think you'll understand what I'm trying to say. Right away a 2018 Road glide diagram with the fill line and arrow shows up, you can see how much lower the clutch plate is from the clutch spring plate. If you search around all the manuals show a much larger gap. So i guess the 21/22 maybe even the 2020 LRS just have a new design. Whats throwing me off is how much oil it takes to get there. A wet fill calls out 36 oz, i know thats a rough number, but all i did was drain through the plug, and ive added almost 44 oz and still not up to that fill line per that diagram, i expect ill be almost a quart and half to get there. Thats more than the dry fill number.
It takes 1 qt. 1.5qts is WAY TOO MUCH!!!
 
No, its the diagram that is incorrect. If you open one up and compare what is physically there versus the picture depicted, the picture is clearly wrong. I am speaking only to the '22 LRS, the manual clearly spells out temp and to be level, not of jiffy stand. All this is correct. The picture shows the gap between the bottom of the sping plate and the bottom of the clutch incorrectly. The diagram leads you to believe the level is almost at the bottom of the spring plate, even though it says clutch plate. The clutch plate is significantly lower in the case than as depicted in relation to the spring plate.
I had no problems reading the diagram. The fill line clearly shows that it goes to the bottom of the clutch disks.
