Run the bike until it's at operating temp. Locate the drain plug. On the oil pan right under the transmission. remove the plug using a 1/4 allen. Fully drain. replace plug ( I suggest applying Teflon tape on the threads to make sure you won't leak ) then put in 23 ounces. runn the bike back up to operating temperature, then check level with bike upright and level.

How much oil does a 2003 softail duece take? Also how much does the transmission and primary take as well?

To the best of my knowledge, your Duece takes three quarts of oil with a filter change. The transmission holds 20-24 ounces of oil. And, your primary takes 38-44 ounces of oil.

Your oil tank has a dipstick in it. Fill the oil tank until the level is just above the lower line with the bike on the stand. The lower line is "FULL COLD" and the upper line is "FULL HOT". Do not overfill.

The transmission is the same way, On the right side clutch release cover, there's a plug that takes a 3/8" Allen or Hex key to remove. It too has a dipstick marked the same way the oil tank dipstick is marked. Check the oil in the transmission with the bike standing straight up.

In the primary, you fill the oil level to where it just touches the lowest part of the clutch spring. The outer clutch housing is bright aluminum. Inside this is a round dark colored piece of metal. This is the clutch spring. Fill or check the oil with the bike standing straight up. Do not overfill as it will make your clutch drag and you will not be able to find neutral with the engine running.

Good Luck

I'm changing the oil on my 04 Duece, removed the cap, changed the filter, removed the plug and only a small amount of oil came out? Still have oil in the tanks? Why is it not draining?

because its a dry sump. you have to drain the oil from the oil tank. Theres a hose under the tank. I dont know where the drain hose is on a duece, you'll have to look around

When cold very hard shifting into second gear. Any solutions out there

Change the trans oil to a full synthetic 75-140, Golden Spectro is my recommendation. That may help, that stuff is great.

Where is the oil drain plug on my 01 Duece?

on the right side follow one of the hoses off the oil tank,it should go down to the frame and hitch to it. On the bottom of the frame you will find the drain bolt

HOW DO I RESET CHNGE OIL LIGHT IN A2000Z71

You either are running low on oil, have a failing oil pump, or a bad oil sensor. The lamp will continue to come on until the problem is fixed.

I changed the oil and filter on my 03 ultra classic and now i have a noise in the trans -sounds like the case is dry but the dip stick is on the full mark . is there a fill plug just fore the trans?

There are two drain bolts on the bottom...one for the engine oil, and one for the transmission. If you drained them both, but only filled the oil, then you are running a dry transmission.

The transmission fill is forward of the oil fil. It is a round plug, with a 3/8 inch hex (allen) wrench hole in it.
