Man, you guys are confusing me. LOL

I filled it to just below the derby cover opening so the bottom of the clutch assembly (for lack of a more informed term), while somewhat level. That took just shy of a quart and a half. Do I need to drain and start over, filling it while on the stand?

 

Way too full!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously just dump in a quart and you will be good!!!

 

My 2002 Road King says to dump a quart in. I do this and have never seen the oil inside the derby cover. Bike works just fine. I have been using a quart for 225,000 miles now.

Find out what your owners manual says, do what it says and you will be just fine. Harley manuals are usually pretty dependable.

 

Edited for correction.

 

****, I just checked my manual and I'm wrong.
Sorry if I messed you up.

 

I have always just used one quart too, never any problems. Seems like if you use more than that, its getting to be a lot of oil for just sloshing around on a chain in there.

 

Scott I hope this helps




One quart will get it to that level.

 

Yes, that absolutely does. Thank you very much. I think I went to the green line. Live and learn! Off to buy another quart of ATF.

 

Or just drain out a pint.....

 

Why waste it? Turkey baster or drain then add back the proper amount....
