Transmission Fluid Change
I want to change the fluid in my transmission on my 2009 Street Glide to Redline. Can someone direct me to a video link or the relevant page from the Owner's Manual that goes through the steps. I realize that the basic steps involve draining the existing fluid; replacing the plug with a new "O" ring; and adding the new fluid. However, it's my understanding that you need to make sure you are removing the correct fluid plug underneath the bike; and there may be other considerations. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How dumb can I be--I didn't think to look in my Owner's Manuel. For some reason, I was thinking I needed a service manual. But it makes perfect sense that the Owner's Manuel would contain information regarding relatively simple maintenance matters, like changing fluids. Thanks, I look there.

The Transmission is the easiest to change. Ride the bike and get it up to operating temp. I do mine on a lift to keep the bike upright and level. The transmission drain plug is on the right side almost underneath the fill plug. The filler plug takes a 3/8 " allen wrench. Take it out, remove the drain plug. It takes a 5/8 socket. let her drain for about 30 min. Check your o-ring, it may be ok to use again. after reinstalling the drain plug, torque it to 14 to 21 ft pounds. Add 1 quart (32 OZ) Redline and repace the filler plug. You are done!!!
