So after 40 years of Japanese bikes Ive got my first Harley so Im new to all these fluid changes.
The oil and transmission fluid changes went fine. I changed the primary fluid, carefully adding the 26 ounces the service manual calls for.
According to both the manual and every YouTube video Ive watched, the primary fluid level should be at the bottom of the clutch diaphragm spring. After adding the 26 ounces it wasnt to that level. I added the rest of the quart but it still isnt to the bottom of the clutch diaphragm spring
I checked the level after a ride and it was still low. Should I add more fluid even though Ive put in 32 ounces?
Thanks
Welcome to the forums , I'm over here in West Mi, land of the tulips and windmill. The primary level should be at the bottom of the clutch diaphragm spring with the "bike level and not on the jiffy spring. The 26 ozs. is correct too much fluid can cause problems with finding neutral or clutch problems. Are you checking through the chain inspection plate or the 5 fastener "derby cover, I would think if you added a qt. and pulled the derby cover some would dribble out. If the service manual is something other than HD sometimes they leave things out. Create a little "go to" notebook for things to remember, i.e. tire sizes, battery size, etc.
"The primary chaincase lubricant level is acceptable when lubricant is visible between the clutch and the inner wall of the chaincase with the motorcycle standing upright."
Thanks for the visual there multihddr, For HD Donk, do have the small plug in the bottom of your case? If so, if you screw it in too far you could start making small cracks around the hole.
