But i did not drain the oil in all three holes propped straight up. I drained them all on the sidestand leaning regular. I did a 15 minute ride to get it nice and warmed up. I drained the 3 holes immediatley after. Didnt waste time to get the oil out. I only propped it up to add the primary fluid to get an accurate reading according to the manual. I do have the low profile oil drain pan from Harley. It is an awesome item to have. Makes changing the oil easier

The only reason why i propped the bike upright was just to fill the primary with oil. The rest was done on the side stand leaning regular.

Maybe I missed it in the manual, but are you supposed to do the oil change while on the kickstand? I just did my own 3 hole change last month but while my front tire was in a chock holding it straight up. Now you are making me think I didnt get everything out of my oil pan.
