Anyone know how much oil a 2012 Street Glide has in each leg, also what viscosity is the std oil.
I found the pic
And the write up.
Cheers mate i am told its 317ml and yes you are correct in saying that heavy duty is 20w. I am told its way to thick for our fantastic Aust motor cross tracks!
Picked up a litre of Motul 15w today so will start the job next week. Seems like the ignition removal seems the only tricky bit.
Pauly, I got into a real shit fight when I first removed the ignition switch . Nothing would line up , it would lock but could'nt get the key out, etc. These a great vidoe of a guy removing the ignition switch on a late model street glide on You Tube, (Google "removing ingnition switch on harley" , and you should get it ok. You dont need a special tool , a large flat screw driver that fits down the shaft is all you need.
The guy in the video uses a home made tool. He removes the ignition switch with the handle bars in the locked positon. If you can change the fork oil on both forks in the locked position thats good. If the left fork is a bit tight (because the bars are locked), just insert your large flat screw driver until it bottoms in the igniton shaft and makes contact with the "bottom tag", and supporting the bars turn the screw driver clock wise until bars are free.
When finished fork oil change, insert flat screw driver in shaft . Move bars to full lock position , With the screw driver making contact with the bottom tag turn screw driver clock wise, at the same time wiggle the bars and the bars should lock. ( Everything should be aligned the same as when you removed the switch) Now the ignition switch should bottom all the way down. There is a lock on the bottom of the switch that has to be depressed with your key , and then locked with your key when the switch has bottomed in the shaft. (this is explained in the video) .
I hope you can understand all that !!!! Here are some info and pics giving advice installing ignition switch when everything is mis aligned in the shaft, may be of some use, it helped me alot !!!! Cheers.
Thanks for your on going help. I have never had the ignition to bits so your info could be very helpfull at the end of the process. You may well see a shiney thing go sailind over your place if things dont go smoothly..........
Do you know if the "tang" on the bottom of the ignition switch is a "pull" or "push" to remove?
Have all the bits and pieces and have had the ignition off and on several times will jack the bike up and do the fork oil in the morning.
Took her for a 200klm run after doing the forks. Much nicer to ride and certainly tracks bettter over the local pot holed goat track. Well worth the effort
