but not on weekends there moisture free

 

Like we always say, look in the owners manual, more volume in the touring bikes keeps them cooler. I always use a little siphon pump to get the extra 1/2 qt stuck in the bike out. You get a better oil change that way. Someone sells a little better one that fits right onto the bike. Mine is an old kerosene siphon that I added a long tube to. By the way an oil cooler when you are stuck in traffic helps a little but not much, unless you put a thermostatic fan on it.

 

I take my third qt and pour half of it in to an empty qt. No need to remove any

 

The manual I paid 14 grandish for(they threw in an 07 Street Bob when I bought the manual) says on page 18 the capacity with filter is 3.0 qts....page 81 states 2.5 qts for "capacity refill",whatever the hell that means.....all I know is,last time I put 3 qts in mine oil got into the intake and caused the bike to not idle...its 2.5 qts for me....

 

3 qts on a dry engine (rebuild) but 2.5 qts for a change. That's how I read my manual.

 

how many times has this question been asked????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????

 

The question was about total capacity between two different bikes, not an oil change.

 

good one
