'17 SGS 1k fluid changes
I'm going to start out by saying that I've done most maintenance on all my vehicles (motorcycles, cars, trucks, and boat) since 15 years old, so I am somewhat mechanically inclined. I should have gotten the service manual, and will next time I'm at a shop! But, to my question, are there any write ups on the 3 hole fluid changes? I'm used to one oil and plug for the engine, tranny, and primary. First HD here. Looked under it today for the first time, and the oil drain plug looks to be an Allen head, is that it?? The primary and trans were easy to spot.
Had the bike for 2 weeks and need to do the fluid changes before a ride tomorrow. I'm at 960 miles, and would rather do it before the 1k mile marker. If anybody has any videos or pics, they'd be greatly appreciated! I've searched Google and youtube. Tons for all previous motors, but couldn't find anything on the 107's.

All Three drain plugs are 5/8" hex head. The Primary is simple, on the left side just under the Primary just below the derby cover. The Transmission is just forward of the Primary in a little more under the engine and transmission facing downward. The Engine is just in front of the Transmission but it is facing Forward. All can be done from the left side of the bike.

I did my own oil change at 1000 miles like mjwebb said i would get a owners manual. I called Harley Davidson about servicing my own bike my dealer informed me they have to preform all service, or i void my warranty. Thay were lying was told as long as I performed all maintenance using Harley's Service Manual everything would be fine. Also document all your work and save your receipts. First thing i did buy a service manual best 70 bucks a spend in a long time.

I would like the name of the Dealer that told you they had to preform all services. First I doubt it it was said ,but in case it was by some fool that works there I would like to contact them myself. You do not have to document anything or save any receipts, that is all old internet BS. Anyone that tells you different is full of internet crap. Time comes to end the myth and hype.
