Question on fluids

Hello. New guy here. First time 4 wheeler owner. This may have been discussed somewhere but I can’t seem to put in the right words to do a proper search. Hoping someone can help. I have a 2000 Yamaha big bear 400 2WD. There is what appears to be an oil fill hole next to the pull cord. The cap has no dipstick.  What fluid goes in that and how do I drain it? 
*the other side has a dipstick for the oil. I don’t want to put something in that could cause an issue. Thanks in advance.

The hole next to the pull cord is an inspection hole for timing you can look there to set it to top dead center. The dipstick hole is where you add oil. There is a large nut underneath to drain the oil there is a spring under it so dont loose it. The  oil filter is under a cover with 2 large lines going from oil cooler held on by 3 allen bolts

      Fixing for a friend. Atv was at a different friends house to be fixed and he rebuilt the carb and had it running nice, then it shut off and no more. He replaced the key and the coil.
       
      So he got busy, so I am helping, I checked the wiring from the stator to the cdi, and from the cdi to the coil. All is good. I checked resistance on the pickup coil, good, and on the source coil, open. I buy a new stator (China) and the 4 prong plug only has 3 wires in it while mine has all 4. I checked resistance in the source coil and it's in the 300's. I pulled one of the old pickup wires out of the old stator and wire it in the new one. Still no spark.
       
      Why do the wires differ, I checked the VIN again and it's "J" for the year and I got a 1988 stator. Please help!

      Hi guys, I was given a 2000 Honda Recon fourtrax 250 (I think that's the full name lol). The previous owner had it sitting for a while before I got it. It sat for another few years in my ownership. I got it up and going on its first test drive today!! I was wondering where everyone buys their parts from?  Coming from the car community, we have sites like RockAuto and many more. Anything like that for quads? Also would like to be pointed in a direction, if possible, for plastics. I am missing a few and would like to have it complete. I appreciate any input!
