Oil change on this bike. Should the oil be drained on the kickstand or standing upright?

 

I always drained mine standing somewhat upright. I'd put a block under the kickstand. The reason for that is the drain is on the right side of the tank, and not all the oil leaves the tank, while on the kickstand. I do all the softails this way. Its a small amount but it doesn't hurt

 

by the way, heres a pic of my old bike:

That's a cool bike H.C !
You obviously know where I come from with the question then. I had an 03 SuperGlide and the book said to do it on the jiffy stand but for this one it don't really say one way or the other. Says to check it upright but as far as the draining I was scratching my head. Didn't know if they was figure on the small amount of leftover or what so thought I'd ask. Thanks

 

Both of my Dynas, I drain on the jiffy (kick) stand. That would be the low point for draining purposes, the plug is near the jiffy stand. Make sure the dipstick is pulled out. Install the plug with your fingers then tighten. After refilling with 2.5 qts. of your favorite oil, run for a couple of minutes, turn off bike. Check level on jiffy stand and add accordingly.


Disregard this post if this is a softtail bike, misinterpreted the Alphabet soup.

 

yea, different bike altogether

 

I jack mine up on a lift...
