Primary Fluid Capacity: HD Service Manual Calls for 45oz. Is this Correct?
Replacing frictions & steels on my 2011 103" Street Glide.
According to the HD service manual, the primary chaincase refill capacity calls for:
38 oz. wet
45 oz. dry
Does this seem like an excessive amount for a primary fill? My 2007 96" Softail only takes 1qt. (32oz) for a drain & fill.
What exactly constitutes a 'wet' fill (38oz) vs. a 'dry' fill (45oz), anyway?
Thanks

you soak the friction plates, right?
I soak for hours
put it together, add the 38 oz...
then be prepared to add more fluid.
probably until you are at the full 45 oz ( incl. the fluid sucked up by the plates)
most models call for the primary to be filled until the fluis can be seen at the bottom of the clutch basket...bike upright...fluid warm.
so after the job, ride it to warm it, then check level again
