Default Checking trans fluid
Quick question guys. When checking trans fluid level do you check it hot or cold? Thanks.

I dont think that matters as much as having the bike up straight off of the kickstand..

In my owners manual it says to check it on the jiffy stand. It just doesnt say hot or cold. Thanks. It's a 2010 street glide if that helps.

Service manual says on the jiffy stand. Also says if bike has been recently ridden or moved to allow some time for an accurate measurement. To me that means check it cold on the jiffy stand.

Depends on the year of your bike. My 2000 specifies upright and hot.
