...Being financially tapped after the purchase a coworker and fellow Harley owner said he would help and show me how to do everything, and save a couple hundred bucks in the process...
This is pathetic. Your owners manual shows where the drain plugs are.
If you don't know what you're doing, take it to a pro. Why have an amateur screw up a nice clean bike?
If you are determined to learn to do the maintenance yourself, 1st buy the factory service and parts manuals.
If you know the answer, why don`t you help the guy out, instead of being rude?
This exact problem of the wrong drain plug comes up all the time, so maybe, just maybe the manual is not clear...
Sorry rogran, I can`t answer your question, my experience is only Shovelheads and Evos.
Dan, I helped the guy a lot more than you did.
He is inexperienced and has obviously not even bothered to read the owners manual, which has the info he needs. And he claims he spent all his money buying a bike he can't afford, and now can't even afford to have the oil changed.
