I have the service manual. I want to change the fluid in the 3 holes. What fluids am I gonna need and how much? Any tips you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

 

Get 5 quarts of Amsoil 20W50 for engine and primary and the Amsoil 75W90 Severe Gear Lube for the tranny..

 

ROYAL PURPLE 20W50 ALL 3 HOLES

 

I have HD Syn 3 in all three holes on my FXST. Seems to do just fine with me, plus it runs cooler

 

In the winter I run the syn3 in the tranny, but in the summer I switch to the bel-ray. It gets down well below freezing and the syn3 works good in the cold. When it gets up above 100 degrees outside, I have problems with the syn3. Don

 

lots of rags under the filter when you take it off.

 

Take one of the small size Folgers plastic coffee cans and cut about half of itaway except for about an inch from the bottom.
Put your filter strap on and then slide this under it all the way to the end.

 

Oil filter K&N are the easiest to off. 4 quarts of Mobil 1 v twin 20w 50 for the crank and you'll have a little left. 1 quart of redline heavy gear oil 75 140 for the tranny, and whatever you wanna put in the primary. I use wahtever oil I ahve around or leftover from the others. I am not sure of the amounts for your year as my bike is a bit older. But that's what I use...

 

great idea man, ill be sure to do that

 

You and I have the same bike.

I did it at the 5k service. Did that myself.

The dealer said I needed 10 qts of Syn3. I ended up with one left unopened.

Works great. No clunk or weird noises. Shifts fine. Runs about 200 degrees on a 70 degree day after 2 hours of riding.
