there are a couple drain plugs on the drain pan, the one for the engine oil would be the one on the left side by the kick stand correct?


i dont have a jack so can i just drain the oil with the bike on the stand? or i wont get all the oil out if i just use the kick stand?

 

I have a great picture that shows you exactly where it is. But you were the guy that was teasing the guys stuck in the snow so I am not going to post it.
Actions have consequences.

 

Just kidding.
This picture is from the oil thread. You can drain it on the kickstand. Drain plug is labeled mag plug.

 

Lol thanks

 

Check out the oil thread:
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/oil-a...ted-topics-30/

There are lots of ideas on how to prevent oil from dripping on your bike, when you take the filter off. I used a long 12 pack of soda case and took the top off, and let extra oil fall into the cardboard.

Good thing they have that picture on the thread, because the service manual isn't really very helpful on showing parts location.

 

Did bike not come with owners manual?

 

The owners manual, and the service manual, don't show plug locations. There are several threads, where the the OP, takes the wrong plug out. I do think the owners manuals tell you whether to drain on kickstand or straight up.

 

My 2012 Dyna owners manual shows left side view of oil drain plug on pg 97 then bottom view of trans and oil drain plugs on pg 102.

 

i usually take the filter off in my neighbors driveway,then wipe frame &engine down with a dirty pair of undershorts,then push bike back home and install new filter. Of course he is at work while i do this,so i don't know if he minds. it keeps my driveway clean ,and i don't have any oily rags to dispose of.

 

My 2013 Dyna service manual shows picture of the oil plug on page 1-15 and transmission plug on page 1-26 Just sayin'...
