Motorcycle Repair: Oil Change, hand case, oil plug
QuestionHi MIke,
I'm Changing the oil on my 1980 FLT and I can not find a oil plug. I know draing the holding tank but I also have a oil cooler. And I would like to change the tappet screen. Can you help me out?
Thanks for your time
Michael
Answerfor the tappet screen, you just remove it and clean it. You dont need to replace it. It is located on the right hand case, by the oil pump. Just drain the oil tank. If you want to drain the, which really doesnt hold much oil, you would have to remove one of the hoses going to it. there is no drain.
Good luck and happy riding
Mike
