2006 Road King Maintenance Question

I tried the search but came up empty handed. My question is: I'm getting ready to change the fluids on a 2006 RK and need to know some of the maintenance specs:

1. How many quarts of engine oil?
2. How many ounces of transmission oil?
3. How many quarts of primary oil?
4. What is the torque specs for the oil drain and transmission drain plugs?

Thanks...all information is greatly appreciated.

I have all the answers, but they are in my manual and service manual at home. I can tell you (88ci) the crank holds 4 quarts of oil with a new filter and the tranny holds 20-24 ounces of fluid. The primary holds a quart of oil. I usually do about 3.5 quarts of oil in the crank and add a little more by checking the dip stick after I let it run and come up to temp.

No problem at all. I remember the fluids off the top of my head, but not the torque specs. I am surprised I don't remember the specs too after all the fluid changes. I am at work, but can look it up tonight at home if needed for you.

Thanks for taking the time to look-up the torque values...I just finished servicing the bike.

It's a great thing servicing it yourself. Saves money and piece of mind knowing what was actually done instead of assuming it was done right by someone else.
