service performed on 2005 chopper

[Claymation]

Ok i follwed "Gas Mans how to service your bike" Thread, but have a few questions and or concerns.

Primary went ok installed the newer vent, hope this fixed my leak, adjusted chain added 1 quart primary fluid.

Tranny, drained 35 oz of tranny fluid ?? wow my mechanic had way too much in OR ??? leaking in to tranny from primary? engine? and drain plug location really sucked with my pipes. Added 20 oz of tranny fluid per Gas Mans tutorial. do you check dipstick level with level bike, or tipped on the kickstand???


Engine oil not done till i get handle bars together, Showtime is send me longer wires ( Thanks Showtime ):2thumbs:
I observed a large allen heand plug on bottom of crankcase, does this get pulled while doing oil change ??, I dont remember reading anything about pulling this plug.


Pipes should be here in a couple weeks and cant wait to go riding, i Know the Washington riders enjoyed yesterday 68 degrees

I observed a large allen head plug on bottom of crankcase, does this get pulled while doing oil change ??, I dont remember reading anything about pulling this plug.

some say to drain the crankcase through the use of this plug and some say it is too easy to strip, so they add 3 qts of oil after the tank is drained and before the filter is put back on. then run the engine with the oil being pumped out until fresh oil comes out (about 1/2 qt.), then top off the tank.

I wouldn't pull the case plug.

per the owners manual the bike should be upright and level to check trans fluid... should be left that way for a while before checking.
