Fluid change question??

My brother bought a06FLHX and we are changing the fluids but I'm not sure where all the drain plugs are. Please tell me where the tranny and oil drain plugs are so we can complete this tonight. The dealer is sending his manual in the mail since he bought out of town. Please help?!?!

All on the bottom, 5/8" socket or 1/4" allen head. OWNERS MANUAL perhaps? Service manual? Get the hint?

Well I think I included the fact that he bought it out of town and the dealer was mailing his manual to him. We want to change the fluids tonight and don't want to buy a manual when one is in the mail......

RE: Fluid change question??

Know does anyone have any real help like the oil plug is closest to the back or front and is the larger or smaller drain plug?

i think the point he was trying to make is which manual is coming in the mail. if its the owners manual, it isn't going to help. but if its the service manual, then thats a different story.

MY owners manual has pictures of where the drain plugs are. AND it gets to go home when the bike is bought (if the dealer is worth a %&$$).

Man you guys are tough! Give the guy a break. He was just asking where the drain plugs are!

I think debay's attachment shows him what he was looking for.
