CHANGING THE OIL IN YOUR HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORBIKE IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD DO.

If you replace the oil on your Harley-Davidson motorbike on a regular basis, you will extend the life of the engine as well as the components that are located within the motorcycle. It is recommended that you replace the filter and the engine lubricant every 2,500 miles. This will ensure that the engine will operate in the exact manner that you have anticipated. In order to get started with your oil change, there are a few items that you will need. A block of wood measuring three inches in diameter, a socket wrench, a torque wrench, a drain pan, a five-eighths inch socket, a funnel, three quarts of twenty-five-watt oil, a filter wrench, a lubrication filter, shop towels, a flathead screwdriver, and parts cleaning spray are all required accessories. It is necessary for you to start the motorbike in order to enable the engine and the oil to get warm. After allowing it to run at idle for three minutes, turn off the engine of the vehicle. The softail should be placed on a block of wood measuring three inches behind the side. The purpose of the new era caps stand is to raise the motorbike so that it is in an upright posture. To free the tank from the filler neck, first apply pressure to the tank that is holding the engine’s lubrication, and then turn the tank in a clockwise direction. For the purpose of venting the system, the cap and the dipstick must be removed from the tank containing the liquid. The drain plug will be located in a different location on your bicycle, depending on the model that you have. The drain hole, which is situated at the front of the gearbox unit, which is situated on the left side of the motorcycle, is used by the engine of models that were manufactured between the years 1984 and 1999. Products that were manufactured after the year 2000 are equipped with a dual cam engine, which is characterized by the plug being located beneath the rear of the gearbox. Ensure that the drain stopper or the hose is positioned beneath the drain pan. The drain stopper should be loosened by using a socket wrench and a socket measuring 5/8 inches. For a minimum of five minutes, or until you see the flow of oil becoming a thin trickle, you should leave the oil to drip. After cleaning the drain plug with the shop towel, replace the sealing with a fresh one and then reinstall the plug. First, you should manually tighten the drain plug to its original position. After that, you should use a torque wrench and a socket measuring 5/8 inches to further tighten it. Make sure to clean the area surrounding the filter as well as the pump, which is located on the left side of the front of the engine. When cleaning the region, use a spray called a cleaning spray for parts. To remove the lubrication filter, remove it. With the newly installed filter, add up to four ounces of engine lubricant with a weight of twenty-five weight half. The lubrication should be allowed to soak for about one minute before some lube is applied to the area surrounding the filter sealing. Reposition the filter so that it is against the oil pump and then tighten it back into place. Following the placement of the funnel in the tank neck, 2.6 quarts of 20w50 should be added to the tank. The funnel should be removed from the tank, and the filler cap and dipstick should be reinserted into the filler neck. Next, spin it in a clockwise direction to set it in place. Begin by starting the motorbike, allowing it to idle for about three minutes, and then turning off the engine. Make sure the dipstick is clean by using a clean cloth. First, place the dipstick back into the container, and then remove it once again to determine the current level. If the oil level on your new era keps is lower than the lower point, it is possible that you will need to add more lubricant in order to finish changing the oil.
