1000 mile -> Royal Purple
Hey guys,
I'm coming up on my 1000 mile break in and I'm going to do the service myself. I haven't bought the manual for my bike yet, so I don't know how much of each oil I need?
2007 Dyna Street Bob
Switching to Synthetic Royal Purple
Can someone tell me what oil I need and how much?
Just getting ready to head to the speed shop and forgot to look this up!
Thanks!

I'd get 4quarts, I'm pretty sure you only need 3 for the bike and one extra.Be sure and get the RP that is made for air cooled motorcycle engines...

Well, if it was me I'd use RP MaxCyle 20-50 for the crank, HDformula+ for the primary and Bel-Ray for the tranny. I guess you could use the RP MaxCycle for the Primary, but don't put it in the tranny. Use a "Gear" oil.

You will need a new filter and 2.5 quarts of oil for the engine (RP cycle 20w50), 1qt of 20w50 or HD primary oil for the primary, 1 quart of RP 75w90 GL5 synthetic gear oil for the trans.
My 06TC88 takes 2.5 quarts for an oil change and 3.0 quarts for a completely dry engine. Yours should be the same but check your owners manual as this information should be in there.
BUt use gear oil in the trans for sure.

Max-Cycle is specifically formulated to significantly improve motorcycle, ATV and snowmobile engine (and transmission) performance. It's recommended for use in both air-cooled and liquid-cooled 4-cycle engines and it's compatible with wet-clutch transmissions.
