Einleitung

Diese Anleitung zeigt dir, wie man das Primär-/Getriebeöl des Evolution Motors der Harley-Davidson Sportster wechselt.

Die Evolution Sportster haben Nasskupplungen und Primärantriebe. Es wird empfohlen, den ersten Ölwechsel nach 1000 Meilen (1600 km) und danach alle 10.000 Meilen (16.000 km) einen Ölwechsel durchzuführen.

Der Hersteller empfiehlt 20w50 Öl. Achte darauf, dass das Öl, das du verwendest, für Nasskupplungen zugelassen ist. Viele Fahrzeugöle sind nicht dafür zugelassen, also empfehlen wir Öl zu kaufen, auf dem explizit draufsteht, dass es für den Gebrauch in Motorradgetrieben geeignet ist. 75w90 Getriebeöl wird hier oft durch 20w50 Motoröl ersetzt.

    • Wir empfehlen, das Motorrad in eine erhöhte Position zu bringen. Dies stellt eine einfache Zugänglichkeit zum Ölwechseldeckel, beste Ablaufeigenschaften und zielsicheres Befüllen sicher.

    • Löse mit einem 5/32" (fast exakt 4 mm) Sechskant- oder Innensechskant-Schraubendreher die beiden Schrauben von der Inspektionsabdeckung der Primärkette.

    • Je nach Baujahr ist die Abdeckung möglicherweise nicht rund. Sie wird jedoch an der gleichen Stelle sein und durch ähnliche Schrauben befestigt werden.

    • Nimm die Inspektionsklappe der Primärkette vom Getriebegehäuse ab.

    How do I get these off if they're real tight? I've already broken a few Allan keys trying and almost striped one of them

    I have same problem cannot move the inspection cover bolts -

    Skull -

    Use an impact screwdriver.

    Peter -

    Lightly tap the Allen wrench ( like driving a nail)with a rubber mallet due to aluminum corrosion. This helps free the Allen bolt

    • Die Ölablassschraube befindet sich an der Unterseite des Getriebes, links am Motorrad neben dem Gummipuffer des Seitenständers.

    • Stelle eine Ölfangwanne unter die Ölablassschraube.

    • Drehe die Ölablassschraube mit einem Schraubenschlüssel heraus und entferne sie.

    • Je nach Baujahr kann die Ablassschraube die Größe 5/8" oder 3/4" haben.

    • Lasse das ganze Öl ablaufen. Das sollte etwa fünf Minuten dauern.

    • Während das Öl herausläuft, solltest du die Ölablassschraube reinigen.

    • Reinige die Schraube mit einem alten Lappen oder einem Papiertuch. Entferne dabei das Öl und den Metallabrieb.

    • Unten an der Schraube ist ein Magnet befestigt, der die Eisenspäne festhält.

    • Entferne die vier T27 Torx Schrauben, die die Wartungsklappe der Kupplung befestigen.

    With this cover off, do I check anything or is this just to make sure all the oil has drained?

    Don -

    I saw somewhere it said to remove and replace these screws in sync, in a certain order? Why? And does it matter? I only have 4 screws on my '01 sportster. And how do you get the large O ring to stay in place when putting cap back on?

    Lori Parr -

    And how do you get the large O ring to stay in place when putting cap back on?

    Lori, I have the same question. Did you figure it out? My first attempt it slipped down and then the cover leaked when I tried to start it up. The ring is slightly stretched so I’m going to purchase a new one and see if it will stay in place any better. I will report back if it is any easier for the new one to stay in place.

    John Pile -

    Update: The new o’ring was much easier to install and get it to stay in place. $2 from Harley shop.

    John Pile -

    Interestingly, on my 1200 Sportster Custom (1996), I needed to use a T30 bit. My service manual also says T27, but they were definitely T30 for me.

    John Pile -

    How can I get the bolts out of the cover if they are stripped?

    • Setze ein geeignetes Werkzeug, z.B. einen kräftigen Spatel, in den Spalt zwischen der Wartungsklappe und dem Getriebegehäuse ein, dort, wo der Kupplungszug in das Gehäuse hineingeführt wird.

    • Heble die Wartungsklappe vorsichtig vom Kupplungsgehäuse weg.

    • Die Feder an der Wartungsklappe fällt dabei möglicherweise heraus. Bewahre sie gut auf und setze sie wieder ein, bevor du die Wartungsklappe wieder befestigst.

    What should I look for while it's open?

    Marty Glynn -

    Not to mention that's where you check ur oil level for the trans but also ur clutch adjustment is be hind that cover. ( type in clutch adjustment for more info)

    • Setze die Ablassschraube wieder in das Getriebegehäuse ein und ziehe sie mit der Hand an.

    • Ziehe die Ablasschraube mit einem 3/4" Schlüssel wieder fest.

    • Es ist wichtig, dass die Schraube nicht zu fest angezogen wird. Wenn du sie überdrehst, können die Gewindegänge im Aluminiumgehäuse ausschlagen. Das richtige Drehmoment ist 19 - 28,5 Nm.

    Why not just fill through the top of the oil tank????

    D penglase -

    That's not the same. The oil bag is the crankcase oil and this is showing

    The trans oil. The oil is the same(20w50) but it's two different compartments.

    Up N coming screwdriver -

    The oil is not necessarily the same depending on the bike, make sure you check your manual.

    I have a 2011 Iron 883 and the transmission requires GL-5 certified GEAR OIL (75w90).

    Derek -

    Make sure rubber o ring is in good condition, mine was smashed out and my oil leaked out. Bike ok. Thanks this site was very helpful. Like the steps and the information.

    • Setze das Ende eines Trichters in das Wartungsloch der Primärkette ein.

    • Lasse langsam etwas weniger als einen Liter Öl in das Getriebe einlaufen.

    • Während es einläuft, beobachte das Wartungsloch. Achte darauf, dass das Öl nicht über den Rand des Lochs steigt.

    • Es kann schon sein, dass du weniger als einen Liter Öl benötigst.

    what kind of oil

    tabfive99 -

    You need to use a motorcycle gear oil.. DO NOT put regular motorcycle motor oil in the transmission. Which is what I almost did after reading this because up top it says 20/50 motor oil. I went to motorcycle shop and asked what kind of transmission oil to use. He said that some people say u r supposed to b able to use the motor oil, but NOT to, as it is bad for the bike. Use gear oil meant for motorcycle transmissions

    JWag -

    They say not to use 20w-50 for transmission.

    They recommend 75w-90. Gear oil.

    Make sure its says GEAR OIL.

    Thats what I run on mine.

    Alex Flotte -

    SAE 20w50 Motorcycle oil is what is recommended by Harley Davidson. Engine and gear oil are measured on different scales. SAE 20w50 is the same as 75w90 gear oil. Some modern synthetic automotive oils are not compatible with wet clutches. 20w50 is still the correct oil recommended by the manufacturer, just make sure not to buy an oil not approved for use with motorcycle clutches. http://www.harley-davidson.com/store/syn...

    Eric Essen -

    Amsoil 20w 50 is specifically for Harley motor oil and wet clutch, it is also the best.

    Dirk -

    Thanks very useful info for beginners

    henryaburchett58 -

    I poured a quart of primary oil and I still cannot feel the oil when I put my finger in there does it need another one

    garciacowboys73 -

    There's also a weep hole located on the back of the primary towards the bottom of the rear curve. You can pull that and put oil into primary until you see it coming out of said weep hole.

    • Bevor du den Wartungsdeckel an der Primärkette wieder aufsetzt, musst du darauf achten, dass der O-Ring aus Gummi an der Innenseite der Inspektionsöffnung der Primärkette sauber ist und korrekt sitzt.

    • Achte genauso darauf, dass die O-Ringe aus Gummi sauber und in gutem Zustand sind, bevor du die Schrauben am Wartungsdeckel der Primärkette eindrehst.

    • Befestige mit Hilfe eines 5/32" (fast exakt 4 mm) Sechskant- oder Innensechskant-Schraubendrehers den Wartungsdeckel der Primärkette.

    What is the purpose of the inspection hole? Doesn't show oil level

    Doug -

    The inspection hole is used to set the timing.

    What if the shift linkage don't come back like it should

    • Befestige mit einem T27 Schraubendreher die Wartungsklappe der Kupplung.

    • Oben

    • Unten

    • Links

    • Rechts

    • Ziehe alle Schrauben händisch leicht an, danach benutze einen Drehmomentschlüssel mit 9,49 - 16,28 Nm. Achte darauf, dass sie in der gleichen Reihenfolge festgezogen werden.

    The 1991 Sportster has the small derby cover like the chain inspection cover and I am sure being a trans / primary I had to by two qts of sport trans and it's the 1st year of the 5 speed trans and belt drive on the xlh1200

but you CANT use gear oil for cluthc!!!

car motor oil CANT be used for bike cluthc!!! Motorcycle motoroil CAN!

Maicol -

Is synthetic 20w50 ok to use?

Jordan -

What the !&&* is a cluthc?

redin575 -

I change my my transmission oil exactly how it showed and yes the spring with the nut on the end came off and I put it right back. Now I have no tension at all in my clutch basically I have no clutch anymore. This is the first time I've taken the inspection plate off during a transmission fluid change. I usually drain it and automatically just put one quart in. What could I have done wrong?

Argyle -

Did you ever figure out what happened?

Jordan -

Tighten the screw will tighten. Clutch.clockwise or counter clock

James Burch -

Author neglected to say the first numbers on the torque specs are metric (Nm) not ft-lbs as written

Dfh -

Why is the primary chain inspection cover removed?

robin -

Derby cover is removed to insure the primary isn't overfilled.

Chris Moders -

is there not a screw that will drip when filled?

paulposey1997 -

Is Formula + okay to use in primary that shares stator coils? Does it have sulfur additives that can degrade red metals like copper in the stator?

Greg -

does motorcycle stand in vertical position or on its leg stand during oil level inspection ???

irakli ratiani -

Perfectly level in vertical position!Not leaning on jiffy stand.Have someone help you hold it perfectly level.

curtis mozack -

also youre not supposed to use the full quart it WILL puke out.

general rule is 28-29oz

donald ruddell -

What kind of washers are you using in the bolts where the mid controls used to be? My sportster is leaking from those two fixations.

xtremo_1989 -

Do I need two separate oils for transmission and engine?

chrisweidinger -

My 08 Sportster custom takes the same fluid for transmission as it does primary fluid because it shares the same cavity but ENGINE OIL CANNOT BE SHARED…

In the words of my local Harley Dealer

Anthony Torres Jr. -

You can use the same 20w50 oil in the engine and primary, as long as its jaso ma-2 which is for wet clutch. Also they are 2 separate cavitys thats why u have 2 separate drain plugs. Engine oil is held in the oil tank and primary is in the case.

Dillon Kiddle -

20w-50 vtwin oil DUH. Come on dont be dumb

Dillon Kiddle -

Did my regular oil n changed oil filter in my 2008 xl883l sporty the did the timing chain case with synthetic. 1 week later redid it with hd regular timing chain oil. That synthetic had me hearing everything.

Jason Lilley -

Después de hacer el cambio de aceite de primaria, colocar la tapa y arrancar la moto la zona de transmidion a comenzado hacer un sólido molesto que chirría y las marchas van algo más de duras, incluso cuesta de colocar el punto muerto esto sucede en marchas cortas pero alargando tercera y cuarta el sonido apfnas se percibe. Alguien podría decirme que sucede, es posible que el embrague este demasiado tenso.

caballerolopezmiguelangel -

very helpful.i have an 88 1200 sportster i’m changing oil on. the manual just says use h-d sport tranny fluid, ok, never heard of it. every sportster i’ve had uses 75w90 gear oil,or 20w50 V-TWIN formula oil. different than 20w50 auto oil,which doesn’t work with the wet clutch as a bike has. and don’t use 75w90 gear oil for trucks and cars because it may have special additives to reduce friction,which will cause your clutches to slip as those additives are for making slippery. my current oil in it stunk like only gear oil does. so i guess u can use gear oil or 20w50 bike oil in the primary.primary and tranny both use same fluid on a sportster.

shelbster -

hey guys question is anyone knows the diameter for the splined shifter shaft that goes thru the primary cover for a

2004-2005 sportster 883-1200xl custom or point me in the direction of where i can find the specs i read some where that the diameter the bushing goes into is .485in or roughly a 1/2in

my email is ratrod420@yahoo.com

thank you kindly to whom ever has the information

C Counti -

I change primary/trans oil every 2nd oil change. insp. and adjust chain, then i can get back to cruising around, beating up old ladies and snatching their handbags. !

Michael Hundhausen -

Looking at above comment, do I really need to remove the inspection plate? Don’t want to find myself with no clutch either! Is it sufficient to measure what comes out and replace with same amount rather than remove the inspection plate?

Pauline Fieth -

what about clutch oil?

Zobayer Eusufzai -

I changed my oil and trans fluid about 4 months ago and since I've done that for the first two weeks my clutch shifted nice and easy now it's hard as hell to put it in neutral from first gear or from first gear to second gear from there on it's just fine but not sure what true issue is I'm going to change fluid and trans fluid again and see if any shaving come out on my plug or in fluid has anyone had this problem before and if so does it sound like my clutch plates need to be replaced there is maybe 85,000 miles on it if you can get back I would appreciate it thank you my email is matthewschatz02@gmail.com just looking for some advice but the diagram of top does help me a lot so thank you very much for your help I appreciate it nice to meet you guys
