2004 1200c oil change question..
I am getting ready to change my oil in a 2004, 1200 custom. Can anyone tell me the capacities for the motor oil and the primary. I have no owners manual and the HD shop was out of the sevice manuals. I am changing out both for amsoil. Any help would be apreciated. Thanks

I suggest getting the service manual before attempting any wrenching task on the sporty.
Also, PM me and I can send you a oil change video, performed on a late model sporster.
The oil is very easy to change...

Thanks for the advice on the service manual, but I was hopeing someone could just give me the specs on how much oil to put back in the motor and the primary when you change it. If anyone that has a book for a 2004 1200 custom could look, I would be greatful. Thanks

AM7010,
I believe the oil capacity is 3.6 quarts
The primary should take exactly 1 quart.
-Use mobil1 v-twin 20w50 to fill the oil tank
-Use RevTech in the primary
Have you seen the scavenger system? Worth checking out.

I just finished my engine and primary oil change. The primary went fine, the motor oil on the other hand I have a few questions. First the oil drained very slowly from the hose, which I thought was odd so I removed the filter thinking it might speed things up (made the usual mess.) I only got about 2 quarts out of the motor plus what spilled from the filter. I know the oil was a little low due to the famous 2004+ rocket cover leak(now fixed). I replaced the filter and added 3 qt. of oil and now the my oil level looks to be about 3/4 qt. to full. Any thoughts?
