Default Dumb oil change question

Hey guys, I saw a post in here a few weeks ago that said you might as well change all fluids while doing an oil change..i think it was transmission and clutch along with the oil change? Wondering if you guys can recommend a video or instructions. I've only ever done the oil on my 2017.

Cheers!

See if you can find a relevant video for your particular model on YouTube. There's a ton of them there: Law Abiding Biker, Fix MyHog, Revzilla, and a host of others.

The manual you'll be advised to purchase by every poster here, (me 2), will do it for you best !

I change all 3 every 5K miles. This is more than the owners manual calls for but it doesnt take long and is cheap insurance.

I do engine, tranny, and primary at every oil change. Brake fluid every year.

It's kind of corny, but actually one of the best I've seen. Helped me when I got my Harley.

You'll get plenty of opinions on this I can only relate what I do.

I change engine oil every 2500 miles; I use Valvoline VR1 SAE 50.

I change transmission and primary every other engine oil change, so every 5k miles. I now use Spectro Primary Chaincase Oil in the primary and use either Mobil 1 75-140 synthetic gear lube or Spectro Heavy Duty 6-Speed synthetic in the transmission.

I have a permanent oil filter which is removed from the oil filter relocation, cleaned, and reinstalled at every engine oil change...

Let the debate begin

I've never used Spectro, but I like the sticker...
