Primary doesnt take that much oil 22 to 24 oz. Is plenty if not your just drowning your clutch and it doesnt take much to shoot up on your chain. Don't drown the clutch my bikes had lasted forever like that. Of course you have to adjust them every other change but i hope that helps.

The best investments you can now make:
#1: owners manual
#2 : HD service manual.

That is all. Carry on.

No one should touch a bike without their manual.

2224 is for 5 speeds, 32 for 6 speeds. Not sure if model dependant, but it is this way for my FLHs.

This is an old thread too.
