TRANSMISSION LUBRICANT The transmission
lubricant level should be checked monthly. Big Dog
Motorcycles recommends premium V-Twin motorcycle
transmission lubricant whereas synthetic lubricants are NOT
recommended.
CHECKING TRANSMISSION LUBRICANT
LEVEL The transmission lubricant level should be checked only when the drive train
is at normal operating temperature.
1. Turn the engine off and position the motorcycle upright and level. Leave the motorcycle
in this position for a short period allowing the lubricant level to equalize.
2. Remove the threaded dipstick (see illustration), wipe excess oil off and reinsert until
threads on dipstick and filler neck align (DO NOT THREAD).
3. Remove the dipstick and take the reading. The lubricant level should be between the
two marks on the dipstick. Transmission capacity is 20 oz. Do not overfill or leakage
may occur.
4. Install the dipstick.
