Hi everyone, just picked up a slightly used 07 Street Bob and I want to change all 3 oils, can somebody who has a manual tell me what the capacities of all 3 holes are and whether each should be checked with bike on stand, upright, and with the dipstick screwed in or at the bottem of threads, I want to get riding but don't feel right about not changing fluids first.

- engine oil capacity, bike on stand or straight up to check, checked with dipstick screwed or not ?
- transmission oil capacity, bike on stand or straight up to check, checked with dipstick screwedor not ?
- primary oil capacity, bike on stand or straight up to check, what's considered the full mark, do I just fill until it pours out the derby hole ?

Thanks in advance and remember that it's an 07, might be different than 06 capacities, not sure. I will get the manuals soon but need help for today.

06 Dynas have VERY Specific capacities.....

The Trans is 32 oz... PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!

The Primary is 32 oz..... PERIOD!!!!!!!

Anyone that gives you info other than those capacities is mistaken, and probably has an 05 or earlier version....

They are not the same.... 06 has the COMPLETELY NEW DRIVELINE (Primary and Transmission)......

 

Mine's an '07 Street Bob ??

 

99% sure same for 07's .

 

07 is the same. 32 oz in primary, 32 oz in transmission, 2 1/2 qts for the engine. When you drain the transmission, stand the bike up straight or you won't get all the old oil out.

 

that's what I'm looking for thanks, one last thing, when checking the engine oil on the side stand do I screw the dipstick in or not ??

Screw the engine oil dipstick in to check it. Transmission is checked with the dipstick not screwed in. Both are checked with the bike on the jiffy stand.

 

thanks, I'm all set now !!

 

I just changed my oil in both the crankcase and primary in my '07 Street Bob. My primary took 2.5quarts before I could see it at the bottom of the clutch basket, is that normal or do I need to drain some out? Went for a ride and seems to shift fine.
