Formula+ is for the tranny/primary. One fill as they share the same fluid.
Formula+ is NOT for the engine! One qt. (32 oz.) 20W50 (whatever brand you want) for the engine. 3 qts. plus a filter. Best to buy a service manual as it sounds like you might be new and guessing. Good luck and there are Youtube videos that will help you. |
Your bike has two separate oil systems because they each use a different type of oil. An alternative to the service manual is the owners manual, which will answer that question. A dealer can supply either although the service manual is the most useful. You can download an owners manual on the H-D website - go to the Owners tab.
