So, how do i change the oil for my primary gear chain?? Does that oil drain out when i pull the drain plug or is it a completly seperate entity? I am about to do my first oil change on my bike. Sorry about the dumb questions, but i would rather ask a dumb question instead of making a stupid mistake!! I know not to use gear oil, i actually am going to stick with mobil 1. Right now it has the oil that harley put in it. I know the oil they used is not synthetic. I am definetly going to switch to synth. Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks guys,
Justun

Per Sparky, should be in your owners manual

"Subject 1.8, Clutch, in Section 1 Maintenance"

Transmission fluid change : ) Go synthetic, Mobil 1 or Amsoil, 20w-50 or 75w-90 (both are well liked around here it seems). And don't give HD any more money for their overpriced stuff.

There is a drain plug for the transmission section just below the clutch access cover. You fill it by removing the clutch access cover and it takes 1 quart (at least mine takes a quart).

Might as well do both since your there. The other drain plug is under the swing arm.
