From the right side of the bike, get down and look underneath the area where the gearbox is located, you will see a drain plug in the middle of the gearbox casing (obviously for the gearbox) and nearer to the outside of the bike there is a same size drain plug in a small down tube which is open at the bottom and is connected to the oil tank.
oil tank
Under the transmission oil reservoir, across from the oil drain plug and on the braking side of the bike. (from bottom of the bike the transmission drain plug will always be on the braking side of the bike. The oil drain plug on the shifting side.)
the right rear of the frame, look under and you will see the drain plug in there. there is a hose runing down to it from the oil tank
Between the two shocks, towards rear. The oil, primary, and transmission plug are in the same general area.
There is a 3/8" hose off the back bottom of the oil tank. At the end of the hose there is a plug clamped on. Remove the plug over a drain pan, clamp the plug back in place when drained.
I'm trying to change my oil on my 08 heritage softail. I located a drain plug under the bike but that doesn't seem to be it. I believe it is the transmission oil and now I have two problems. I would like to know how to add and check the transmission fluid and how and where to locate the oil drain plug. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
where is the oil drain on a 2002 harley softtail
It is under the bike nearly in the center of the drain pan, forward of the shocks. It is an Allen head plug. It's the easiest one to find because it's in the drain pan.
the oil drain plug is located near the frame, below the oil tank where the swingarm meets the frame at the bottom of the frame on the right side. There is no engine drain location as the engine is a dry sump system meaning there is no oil stored in the engine other than residual oil.
Follow the hose down from the oil filled tank (the one with the dipstick)at the bottom of the hose will be a drain plug, with a 5/8" hex drive and a 1/4" internal hex drive socket.
On your 2006 Harley Softail Deuce, the drain plug is located on the bottom of the oil pan. To access it, you'll need to position your motorcycle on a level surface and possibly use a socket wrench to remove the plug. Make sure to have a drain pan ready to catch the oil as it drains. Always consult your owner's manual for specifics regarding oil changes and drain plug locations.
