Fluid Change

[glider]

Some things escape us when we look at them and later on we say the same thing, it was so simple why didn't I think of that?

Why not SYN3 oil? I'm not arguing here, I just don't know. What oil do you recommend? Also, at the risk of looking very ignorant, what's the jiffy stand? ....my whole problem right now is the bike was last serviced, before I got it, at a Yamaha dealer so I don't know what's in there. I don't have the service manual yet so I don't even know the correct procedure to change the oil in all three holes.

The "Jiffy Stand is what HD calls the side or kick stand.
I use Mobile 1 V-Twin 20w50 in the engine.


For the primary I'm using -
Spectro Heavy Duty Primary chaincase oil.
