Changed the oil in engine, tranny without a prob. However, the oil level in the primary took almost 2 qts. to fill. The maintenance manual says it takes 3/4 of a liter, but it also says to fill until the level reaches the bottom part of the clutch inspection cover...with the bike level. In order to make the level reach the bottom part of the inspection opening it took almost 2 qts. instead of the .750 liter that the maintenance manual call for.

This is for my 2000 Wide Glide...totally stock.

 

Bottom of the inspection cover is too much. I don't have my manual handy, but go back and look at it again. I don't think it says to fill to the bottom of the inspection cover.There are some threads here that cover how to check for the correct level, and they can probably explain it much better than I can.

 

1 Quart 32 oz .

 

It actually takes about 22 ounces.

On the fromt of the clutch plates you will see a shiney ring the oil level with the bike perfectly upright should be just above this shiney ring.

 

I know that the owners manual says 1 quart. But it doesn't this came from a Harley Davidson tech. I also measured mine the first time I changed it myself.

 

Same answer from the indy I use for powder coating; approx. 22 ounces...always easier to start a little low and add if needed

 

My '01 takes about 22oz.

 

my 06 takes a qrt

 

one qt here too on my 06.

 

I poured a quart. It's the Primary. Someone please explain what's so critical about this particular measurement.

Whiff
