Not in my right mind there mud.... I sat back and took a look at my post, and thought, "crap, I'm a idiot".

 

On my '05 Superglide.

With bike level....add oil until the oil level just touches the bottom of the clutch basket.

Gary, you can probably just put a 2x under the kStand,
or have some one hold the machine upright.......

or, your floor jack method.

On the 09s it just says 32 oz, which is what I'm going to put in.

 

After I asked the neighborhood question I went and looked at my conversion tables
and a British quart is 38 oz of which 32 is approx .86

anyway, I figured the PNW by your name to be Pacific NorthWest. right???

The Brits get a lot more for their money when they buy a quart.

Just put the 2x4 under the jiffy and she'll stand fairly straight.

 

My '08 manual says the same, but that's only correct for initial fill. You'll never get it completely empty via the drain hole. The correct level for refills is to just overlap the bottom of the clutch diaphram (with the bike vertical). Mine took 27oz to get to the that point. Overfilling can cause slippage and difficulty finding neutral.

 

Well, my 09 manual (page 93) says the "dry" (initial) fill is 40 oz and the "wet" capacity is 32 oz.

 

Those numbers are guidelines, not absolutes. I'm just trying to save you some grief and having to do the job over again... but feel free to ignore and dump in the whole 32oz.

 

My manual states check engine oil on jiffy stand and xmission and primary with bike upright. Bought a condor stand for the latter 2
