its about time to change the oil so i tried to drain it and i think i removed the wrong plug. the one facing the ground. only drained about a quart. my question is, where is the oil drain plug and what do i use to refill whatever i drained and where do i refill it?? can i use the same oil in everything? its an 07 street bob. thanks

 

Consult with your MOM.....lol

Motorcycle Owners Manual

 

consult my MOM!!!......BRILLIANT!!!!!.....xcept i aint got one

 

owners manual i mean

 

Sounds like you pulled the transmission plug, it takes a quart. The oil drain plug is on the side.

 

It sounds like you either drained the transmission or the primary (chain case.) The oil drain plug is in the bottom edge of the oil pan on the jiffy stand side of the bike. If you look under the bike from that side you should be able to see it. Look towards the rear of the oil pan.

Harper,

There are three plugs (primary, transmission and crankcase). The primary and transmission hold about a quart and the engine holds about 2.5.

The advice on getting a manual is rock solid.

Be very careful reinstalling the drain plugs, I stripped one last week. It has not been pleasant repairing it.

I have to ask..... anyone have a pic of the three plugs ? I have heard the manual has a mistake...

Does anyone have a photograph. What size is the oil plug bolt. Metric? Standard?

Thanks
