Default Which Plug??

I have an '06 RK Classic and am about to do my first 5k oil change myself. I read in manual where the plug is Front Left of oil pan and the nut on back right side is the Transmission. I looked under the bike yesterday and saw 2 plugs next to each other that are Front Left of oil pan. The one on the left most corner of pan sticks out more then the one next to it. Which one is the correct one? The one picture in the Oil Pics Thread on the Tech forums doesn't show up for Touring models or at least my web browser isn't showing it.

Thanks

Default RE: Which Plug??

On my '04 EGC there are three plugs. The one on the farthest left is the oil. The one with the allen head in it that is kind of in the middle is not the one to drain the oil...you can but the normal one is the one on the left. The one on the far right is the tranny.

Nadil get out your "06" touring models hand book (the one you got with the bike) Turn to page 172. There you will find a picture of both the oil drain plug and the transmission drain plug.........................BG

I did but ther SM only shows two plugs on whole pan and mine has THREE. The third one was right next to the oil drain plug and just wanted to BE SURE before I f**k up. If you would re read my orginal post you see that I am now repeating myself.

Are you relying on the owners manual or buy a service manual? The service manual should show everything. The owners manual is limited. Anybody who decides to work on their bike should have a factory service manual before they start......this is all JMO.
