yes you are right..there are two plugs on the front of the oil pan...either will drain the oil...the one close to the jiffystand is most commonly used as the other is a pipe plug and used for puttin a temp sender in....you aint gotta buy no manual to take it out...you'll find the tranny drain on the opposite side just in front of the lower crossmember...both require a 5/8" socket...both drain easy once the dipstick is pulled

 

Speaking of oil changes......[sm=confused06.gif]

Is anyone using that total purge system that I've seen commented on in these forums?
Sorry, I don't know the name of it, but did watch a short video of it in action.

Did I understand the video correctly? Your essentially running your bike completely dry, even if fora few milliseconds?
Scares the h*ll out of me just thinking about it.

What methods do you use to purge all the old oil, or don't you normally worry about it?

 

Make sure to put the drain plug back in with a little JB weld.

 

It's the one you can't get loose. The one with JB Weld on it!!

 

That's ok, the HD Manuals leave a lot to be desired !!

 

Problem is, he did. [sm=headbang.gif]

 

Whoops. Missed that. [sm=bangbang.gif]

 

 

Haha!! I always wondered what that bright orange light was coming through the other side of the bike when I was under it.Stupid manual never said anything about the sun!!

 

oh, ohhhhh. I gotta go change the oil again.
Which end of the cat do ya stuff in there first.
