I'm running late for work. This topic can be quaranteed to have been discussed but humour me... no time to look.
Grabbing oil and filter after work, I'm putting Black to bed for winter.

Oil change. In the past with the Shovel, I drained oil, pulled filter, poured a bit of clean oil through bucket to rinse, filled bucket and before putting on filter ran bike until clean oil was seen through filter hole. Shut bike off. refill bucket, 1/2 fill filter, put filter on and ran oil through. Check levels and put her away.

Dyna is a little different set up. The drain is bottom of cases, and filter is on the front rather than underside. Thinking it was impossible to pull off oil change the old way I drain oil, put a bit of oil in new filter, put it on, fill bucket and am so unhappy with dirty oil the first ride. The bike is a mess putting filter on with oil in it cause of location and oil looks like it wasn't changed after first ride.

I AM going to attempt running without filter to pump new oil through BUT so not looking foward to the mess due to location of filter.....

any hints

 

Just change it as per the manual way states to. No need to prefill the filter. If you want to get all the oil out use a scavenger setup, but it's not really needed.
Vancouver Canucks suck.

 

+1 You're making it way more difficult than it is. A small amount of old oil is not going to hurt anything.

 

I don't think that will work on your bike, because the filter is ahead of the engine instead of after like EVO's and Shovels that filter the oil on the way back to the oil tank. If you run it without the filter you will be starving the engine for oil. Not a good thing.

 

Just change the freakin' oil & stop being so AR.

BTW;what is this "Bucket" crap?

 

Warn the motor till oil gets warm.

Drain the oil tank.

Pull the filter.

I put 4-5 oz oil in new filter, it will soak in and not spill out when installed.

Clean the base where the filter goes on.

Install new filter.

Clean and tq the drain plug.

Pour in 2 1/2 qts of oil in tank, then warm motor again and let sit for 10 mins on jiffy,

Then Top off oil level on dip stick to 1/2 way between low and full.

Clean up mess.

 

Are you following me dickey? B-U-C-K-E-T is where I put oil when I refill the bike............. where do you put yours??? carry on......

If you're concerned about the oil dribbling out of the old filter and making a mess, just fold the box that the new filter comes in flat and stick it under there before you unscrew it.
