Fluid/Filter/Spark Plug Change

24,500 Miles.

A friend of mine helped me change the Engine, Transmission and Primary Oil. Helped change the Oil Filter, and Air Filter (both are K&N).

Engine Oil: 3 Qt. H-D Syn 3
Transmission: 1 Qt. Routech Trans Lube
Primary: 1 Qt. Spectro Primary Lube
2 washers, 1 for transmission drain bolt 1 for Engine drain bolt

Two H-D Specific Plugs gapped properly were also installed. Friend believes that the engine might be running rich and hot. Will see how they look at the next change.

So, the oil was about as black as the oil pan, all of them. Metal shards covered each of the drain bolt magnets. Cleaned those with engine degreaser and a flat head screwdriver. Also cleaned the Speedometer magnet located at the top of the transmission, was a PITA to get that screw out, and man oh man was that covered with shavings. That had been a while since cleaned as well.

The Air Filter, haha, looked like someone threw pink cotton candy at the bike. That was soo bad, tossed that and installed the K&N. Was literally take off old, put washer that was with filter on and put air filter on. Simple as could be.

Bike was not chugging at all on the way home and ran wonderfully. :)
