Hi from Edmonton. Surprised no one mentioned to check the cam chain tensioners if you can. If they have been upgraded you should be fairly good. Go to the local dealer and get a service manual for your bike and most questions can be answered there.

 

I always use Lucas cycle oil, and buy it in April when its dirt cheap at the Lordco Trade Show, they have some winter specials right now, may have a deal on some other oils, go to your local store and ask to flip through the trade show catalog. Im pretty sure you have 3 oils holes to fill on your bike. Get the Harley repair manual and research on you tube. Welcome aboard from Maple Ridge, always like doing the 4X4 loop up through Harrison and back down through Whistler.

Welcome from Mississippi. I have had some of your Canadian neighbors from Vancouver down enjoying the great MS weather to ride with me the last few days. If you are in Vancouver check out the Aquabus folks, the owner and his family are good people and long time HD riders.

 

Welcome from where it's WARM!
Just use what the manual says & you'll be OK. I wouldn't fall for the synthetic hype, However...When I last had my primary oil changed (don't do it myself 'cause I don't have power tools yet for the rear footrest Allens) they mistakenly put in Syn 3 instead of Formula 1. They said bring it back, they'll replace the fluid no charge, but I liked the way the clutch felt much better with the Syn 3 so I kept it. More progressive, and not grabby when hot. Your results may vary.

 

Welcome from Surrey....where everyone's shooting at everyone else but noone's hitting anything!
Motor oils are a comfort zone, they're all good, you'll find happiness with one or two.
ATF in the primary?..you figure it out. Hint, friction discs and plates in every autobox.
