2006 Street Bob Oil Change
Wondering if anyone can help me with an oil change issue with a 2006 Street Bob? I went to change oil today andafter draining the oil and replacing the filter, I went to fill the oil tank. After a littleover one quart in the oil tank, it overfilled. (I had assumed more oil than that had drained out into the can) Anyways, I pulled the drain plug again and gotvery little oil back out. The dip stick now registers as a little over full, but I can't get oil to drain...I measured the oil I had got out after first draining it and it was a little over one quart.Any suggestions???

Pulling the wrong plug came to mind soI did look in the owners manual. The plug (as you sit on the bike) on the right side and the one the is vertical is the one I drained... Thisis the oil drain plug in the manual. There is another drain plug to the left which is horizontal, which I beleive is the tranny plug???Thanks for you help.

Back again. I just got done looking in my 2005 Dyna manual (from a previousbike I owned) and see that theoil and tranny drain plugs are diagramedjust the opposite (2005 shows tranny toright sidewith vertical plug etc..) as the ones in the 2006 dyna manual. If someone has a 2006 dyna manual, would you lookto see if it is diagramed the same? Thanks! I'm suspecting Idrained the tranny

I did the same thing on my 06 street bob. I ended up wasting good mobil 1 v-twin oil having to dump it again.
I called the Harley Davidson customer service number in the owners manual and found out that Harley had a typo error in the 06' owners manual. basically they have the pictures of the trans drain plug and the oil drain plug switched. the guy on the phone was really cool and sent me a $30 in store credit to replace the oil and filter.
So it's not your fault you followed the owners manual to do your oil change it's Harley's fault for havinga typo errorin the owners manual. call the customer service number in the owners manual and see if they can do anything for you!!!
