I have an 07 Ultra, Here is my question... do all three fluid changes get changed on the jiffy stand? or on a center jack stand?I have a service manual but it does not state that the bike should be put on either or. Does anyone have answers to this? Thanks.

 

Drain them either way. IMO, on thekickstand is better because the drain plugs are on the low side when you do that. Check the motor oil on the kickstand. Check the tranny oil with the bike level. Check the primary oil with the bike level.

 

You are better off changing all three on a center stand with the bike level. I use a cheap plastic flexible drain pan for all three. Depending on what kind of center jack you have, you will haveto squeeze the pan in to drain the transmission oil. The motor oil will not be an issue. I'm sure that you could get away with doing it on the jiffy stand but the drain pan clearance will be an issue.

 

On the 07 Ultra ALL fluids get checked on the sidestand..... and you don't really check the primary. You add a specific amount after draining. This is different than it was on my 02 Ultra and is called out in the service manual.

Although the manual does not call it out I actually found that draining worked just fine on the side stand. No additional fluids drained when raised to a level position.

 

I just did all mine last week and did them all on the jiffy stand. Don't need a centerstand...

 

Thanks Man, You Guy's Are The Best Ever!!!!!!!!!

 

Actually, on '07's the tranny is also checked on the kickstand. You can't really check the primary fluid, as you can't see where the level should be. I put 38 oz. as specified, and since nothing leaks there's no need to check it or the tranny fluid.

I drain all on the kickstand one at a time, then raise the bike to level and let them drain briefly from that position.
