SOURCE: 2003 883 sportster, how do you drain the engine

warm the bike up ,then if you look in between the rear wheel and the engine case on the left hand side of the bike (if you are sat on it ) on the underside you will see a black plate (part of the frame ) and it will have a black hose on it secured by a jubilee clip , remove the jubilee clip place a oil drain pan underneath it and pull the hose away from the frame and the engine oil will drain out .
hope this helps
kind regards

SOURCE: Not just changing oil, but is there gear oil to

Yes, there is oil in primary and transmission of your Sporty. To drain the oil, look for the drain plug on bottom of rear section of the primary area, back near the large round section of the primary. Drain the oil here and replace the plug. Add the oil at the top primary chain inspection port, large plug with a large "screwdriver" slot or two small bolts in it. Add 32-36 ounces of H-D "primary lubricant for Sportsters".

Recently bought a 2003 1200 sportster. Specifically asked the previous owner about shutting off petcock when not in use. He indicated it was not necessary as it had a carb drain feature. I've put...

Your 2003 Sportster should have been equipped with a vacuum operated petcock unless someone has changed it out. This is highly likely since the factory units were very prone to problems. To drain the primary, look for a pipe plug underneath the primary at the very back underneath the area of the clutch. Refill with one quart of H-D 20W50 SYN3 engine oil or any other suitable lubricant.

Good Luck

Excess motor oil that blew out the oil cap ,when you've parked for a long time the oil in the tank will drop down in the crankcase,then when you start the motor it will go back in the oil tank and then overflow the oil level...You must have to drain the oil tank again and refill it at the correct oil level....
