quick oil change question
OK! quick and simple here...
Im ordering up some new BellRay oil....
3lit of the V-twin engine oil
1lit of the bigtwin trans oil
and
my question is Primary Chaincase lub? I see it on the list on the bell ray site but I am unsure where to begin on that... is there a spot where I can check it? sorry for the stupid question.

There's a drain plug below the derby cover on the inner primary cover. The derby cover is mounted on the outter primary. You have to remove the round derby cover to check the fluid level

did you have to flush it when you swapped from primary oil to Mobil ATF?

I suspect that it would start to leak out before it got to the proper level and the bike was on the jiffy stand. Get the bike level and add fluid to the point in the picture ynots provided.

Yeah, bike level, not on the jiffy stand. "Someone" has never properly serviced a Harley before.
JR, stock clutch. Totally stock, as in when I rebuilt it, I bought Genuine HD parts (disks and plates.) Didn't flush it at all, just changed it and used the Mobil 1 ATF after the MoCo stopped selling primary fluid and my stash eventually ran out. I also put Mobil SHC630 in the transmission. My bike shifts so smooth, you can't tell you shifted. Like, "Hey, where's the CLUNK?"
