Where the heck is the oil
drain plug on a 95 FLHT? I'm looking at the manual
(pic), and still can't seem to find it! And while you're at it, the tranny and primary plugs also. Yes, I feel stupid, but what the hell.
Thank you
Under the bike, you will see 2 drain plugs (3/4 ") the one pointing forward under the transmission is the engine oil drain, the one that point straight down is the transmission drain plug. The primary drain is in the primary case under the clutch inspection cover.
I'm not around the bike now, but the only plug-type of thing I remember seeing that's facing forward has 2 wire clips attached to it? Never saw a drain plug that looked like that.
^^^^ I believe these pics are of a twin cam. The evo drain plugs look like a bolt. You should stop by a dealer and get a Factory Service Manual if you plan on doing your own maintenence
The engine oil drain plug should be under the right hand side cover at the bottom of the tank. Remove the Phillips screw that retains the side cover, remove the side cover and you should be good to go, er I mean drain.
The photos Tired posted are correct for your '95 FLHT ... be careful installing the T40 on the primary ... it is easy to screw it in too far, (ask me how I know) ... it is a tapered pipe thread ...
