Primary oil change in 2010 Sporster...Questions
I have a 2010 Sportster, and I'm attempting to change the primary fluid on my own for the first time. The bike has just over 7,000 miles on it, but I just recently had it converted to a 1200 about a 1,000 miles ago, so since I am changing the engine oil, I also want to change the primary. I've drained the primary, and the manual says to remove the derby cover. However, it says to add 1 quart of primary oil in the chain inspection cover, and then put the derby cover back on. Well if the derby cover is off, isn't the oil just going to run out of it? I though you typically filled in the area where the derby cover goes, not in the little chain inspection area (at least from what I've read/seen online). Has this changed for newer Sportsters??

If you've drained the primary oil with the bike level, adding a quart is as close to perfect as you can get!
