Default Maintenance - '99 Ultra

Got some great help on the forum on removing the faring this past weekend so I asking for help on another matter. This is the first traditional HD I have owned. Been riding a Vrod since '03. Bought the Ultra last July, 13,500 miles, from an Atlanta area HD dealer. My wife rides the Vrod now. I have done all of the maintenance on the Vrod except for the 10k service, which dealer did.

Changing the Vrod oil is easier than changing my trucks oil, not sure about process for changing the oils in the Ultra. Due to the age at most I plan to take it for dealer service every other time. Any help on the procedure would be appreciated.

The absolute best thing you can do is pick up a service manual for your bike, #99483-99A. That will explain everything to include the torque values and all. You're also going to want to check some tensioners and bearings and such unless it was already done.
