My boss at work just "inherited" a '97 Police Road King. Since I don't have the shop manual and he has looked to me for maintenance, does anyone have:

1) Fluid capacities (engine/trans/primary)
2) Suggestions for checking the primary chain

Thanks!!!

Engine oil with filter,4 qts. Primary,40ozs.Transmission,24 ozs.

 

I gave my EVO manual away with my last bike, But i believe the primary chain should have 3/8 in. movement at the tightest point. I allways just did it by feel. I'd get the chain at the tightest point and as long as I could lift it a little on the bottom and it had no slop It was ok. worked for me for many years.

 

Engine: 4 qts. w/filter
Transmission: 20-24 oz. (approx) - check the dipstick
Primary: 38-44 oz. (approx) - fill until oil touches the bottom of the diaphragm spring on the outside of the clutch-pack (and after you do any adjusting, of course)
The primary chain should have 3/8"-5/8" of slack hot, 5/8"-7/8" cold
loosen the bolts on the shoe and move it up or down to obtain the correct slack.
Note: these figures are right out of the shop manual.

 

if he is not going to be on top of servicing, a hayden m6 primary tensioner could be a good move.
