No! You are not the first to do it and you won't be the last! It's ok though , simple mistakes are made when learning. You will want to check the fluid level with the bike standing straight up.

How do I check the oil on a 2000 harley davidson dyna glide?

For cold engine oil level inspection have the motorcycle leaning on its jiffy stand on level ground, pull out the dipstick which is right behind the cam cover and the oil should register between the add and full marks DO NOT add oil if it is at the halfway point from add to full marks on the dipstick. Only add oil when cold if it VERY low. THE warm the engine to operating temperature and then let it idle on the jiffy stand for two minutes on level ground and turn the engine off and check the oil. Add oil only to just below the FULL mark. DO NOT fell over the FULL mark or you may encounter all sorts of problems.

Harley said i have a wet clutch added oil they recommended through derby cover now oil comming out of breather tube??? don't want to ruin anything shut it off and started searching on line ...only got...

Your 04 Electra Glide does indeed have a wet clutch. Your primary case holds between 36 - 42 ounces of oil. Stand the bike straight up. Remove the derby cover from the primary cover. The oil level should be just up to the bottom edge of the outer clutch shell, the shiny aluminum ring. Do not over fill as the clutch will drag and you will not be able to get the transmission into neutral with the engine running. Now you said that you have oil coming out of the breather tube. What breather tube? The transmission has a breather tube but that's the only one. Your engine's crankcase breathers are located in the heads and exhausts the crankcase pressure into the air filter. This is required by the EPA. After a while, oil mist will build up in the air cleaner cover and begin to drip out. You have to clean this out from time to time. Your transmission holds 20-24 ounces of oil and you fill it through the chrome end cap on the transmission on the right hand side of the bike. There is a plug that takes a large hex key or Allen wrench to remove. It has a dipstick on it. With the bike standing straight up, the oil level should be between the two lines.

Good Luck

Do u check trany on side stand r upright on 2001 dyna wide glide

Check the oil level in the transmission with the bike standing as straight up as safely possible. Don't let it fall over. The oil level should be between the two marks on the dipstick. Your transmission holds 20-24 ounces of oil. Check the engine oil with the bike on the sidestand and keep the oil level between the two marks on the stick. Avoid "topping off" the oil tank. As long as the level is between the two lines, it's fine.

Where is the transmission drain plug

I'm not really sure on this late of a model. The drain is on the bottom of the transmission and I think it's a pipe plug on the front of the transmission oil pan. The earlier models that I work on had a drain plug that looked exactly like the engine oil drain plug that was also on the bottom of the oil pan. Many a transmission has been drained thinking it was the engine oil drain. Go to this site and look at the picture of the transmission housing. http://www.bikebandit.com/2008-harley-davidson-touring-street-glide-flhx/o/m18635#sch624765 Pay particular attention to the oil pan gasket at the front of the pan. Notice the hole in the gasket directly above the socket head pipe plug, part #96. This looks like the transmission drain to me.

Good Luck

Fluid capasities in a 2002 dyna twin cam. oil, trans,primary?

Engine oil - 3 qts
Primary oil - 34-42 oz.
transmission - 20-24 ounces.

The engine oil and the transmission oil both have dipsticks. Maintain the oil levels according to the dipstick indications. Each dipstick has two marks. The top mark represents "FULL HOT" while the lower mark represents "FULL COLD" . Check the engine oil with the bike on the side stand. Check the transmission oil with the bike standing straight up.

On the primary, check or add oil with the bike standing straight up. Do not overfill. The oil level should be no higher than the lowest edge of the clutch spring. If you put too much oil in the primary, the clutch will drag making it impossible to find neutral with the engine running.

Good Luck

Trying to change primary oil for 2009 Harley Dyna Super Glide - have drained but not sure where to put oil to re fill.

Pour the oil into the primary through the "derby cover" hole. Remove the derby cover and pour oil in until the level comes up to the bottom of the clutch spring with the bike standing straight up. When you look at the clutch, you can see the outer "aluminum colored" drum. Just inside this, you'll see a black colored disc, this is the clutch spring. Do not fill any higher than the bottom of this disc with the bike standing straight up. It will cause the clutch to "drag" making finding neutral with the engine running impossible. Usually it takes 36 - 44 ounces of oil.

Good Luck

Where is the oil pan on a 99 rodeo? i went to change the oil and im not sure but it really looked like transmission fluid when i dropped it

If the fluid was redish - you probably drained the trani fluid.. Trani fluid has to be checked while the engine is running & is messured in pints (not quarts) on the dipstick..
The oil pan is locaed close to center bottom of the engine.. The trani pan is either to one side of the oil pan or behind it tward the back & is flatter looking in shape - than the oil pan..
