2005 PDI: Dyna Models 3-5
LUBRICATION SYSTEM 3.3
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check engine oil level with engine turned off and motorcycle
resting on jiffy stand on level surface.
1. Remove filler cap with attached dipstick. Wipe dipstick
clean.
2. Install filler cap. Make sure cap is fully seated in oil pan
filler neck.
3. See Figure 3-3. Remove filler cap, and check oil level on
dipstick. If oil level in pan is below lower mark on dipstick,
add enough Harley-Davidson oil to bring level up
between lower mark (1) and cold check level (2) on dip-
stick. Refer to the Dyna Models Service Manual for rec-
ommended viscosity.
NOTE
Do not fill oil tank to full (upper) mark on filler cap/dipstick at
this time. Ordinarily, you would fill a Dyna oil pan (with warm
engine) to this level. In this situation, however, if any oil has
flowed from oil pan to crankcase during shipping, filling oil
pan to full mark might result in overfilling of oil pan when
engine is started. Final check of oil level must be made with
engine off, after engine has reached normal operating tem-
perature.
TRANSMISSION LUBRICANT LEVEL
NOTE
Allow vehicle to stand upright for a moment before checking
transmission lubricant level. This will allow lubricant level to
normalize.
Check the transmission lubricant level with the motorcycle
standing upright in accordance with the procedure given in
the Dyna Models Service Manual.
CHAINCASE LUBRICANT LEVEL
AND CLUTCH OPERATION
1. Remove five screws, clutch inspection cover and cover
gasket.
2. See Figure 3-4. The primary chaincase lubricant level is
acceptable when lubricant is visible in bottom of chain-
case with motorcycle standing upright (not resting on jiffy
stand).
3. Check clutch action. Clutch lever should move freely and
smoothly through its entire range of travel.
4. Check clutch adjustment according to the procedures
given in the Dyna Models Service Manual.
NOTE
The clutch inspection cover gasket may be reused ONLY
when checking chaincase lubricant level and reinstalling
clutch inspection cover at PDI.
5. Reinstall cover gasket and clutch inspection cover, and
secure with five screws. Tighten to 84-108 in-lbs (9.5-
12.2 Nm).
