i changed the 3 oils in my 2002 fatboy the other day and i noticed i put too much engine oil in. there is small specks of oil around the filller cap and tank. i will take a little bit out now(2 rides later). does this cause any problems apart from the obvious specks that i can see? its about 1/2 an inch over the full mark when hot. cheers
thanks for that, i dropped some out this morning and i will take more care next time.
cheers dyno the mistake i made was filling it to the full mark when cold. the oil must expand when it gets hot i reckon.
I always tip 3 quarts in when dropping my old oil and changing the filter as per the owners manual then take for a run then check and adjust if necessary to hot level.
Check cold level next morning.Mine is a tc88 dyna model which is checked resting on the sidestand.I believe softies are checked in the upright position.
