I start the riding season with all fresh fluids,then change oil every 5000 mlles,trans and primary every 10,000 miles all on the stand!!!

I change oil and primary at 5000 miles and trans at 10,000 miles.

Takes about 30 miutes for engine and primary and 45 minutes for all 3.

Haven't done the Ultra yet as it only has 940m but i used HD multi-weight in my FXSTC. Had over 85K when I sold it and never had an issue. Changed oil, filter, lube and tranny as per the scheduled maintenance. Didn't use a lift, got in the way but it did make for changing the filter a bit easier.

Do em all at once you can do that and adjust the clutch in a few hours for sure

If doing all 3 on the same day, how long does it usually take you?

It would probably kill me to do three on the same day, but it would be fun to try.

I dump all 3 out at 5000 miles...or thereabout.

Be glad to send you my used oil.
You'll have to separate it yourself, though.
I dump all 3 in 1 pan, at the same time.

I do all three in less then an hour. All on the floor. Engine and primary every 5,000 miles and the tranny at 10,000. ATF in the primary and redline or mobil1 in the engine. Mobil1 gear oil in the tranny.

Same here, 2,500 / 5,000. I buy new O-rings for the drain plugs and new derby cover gasket every time I make a fluid change (cheap insurance) and of course a new oil filter. Takes me about a half hour to change the fluids. Engine & primary- Amsoil 20/50, trans.- Severe gear 75/90.

If your old and fat like me then a lift is a wonderful thing but it has to be switched from one side to the other when doing the primary then the tranny. I'd say an hour to do it all. Don't forget to lube your cables.

Sure, I can send it to you. Can you tell me how many miles you get out of your engines? It's the cheapest insurance you can possibly buy. If you don't want to do it that often, don't. Nobody here twisting your arm. But if I choose to, then I'll pay for it. I realize you were just making a LoL comment, but the guy asked for the information..... so he can sort out what he wants to use and toss the rest in the recycle bin...
