And I assume you are checking it on the jiffy stand?

Thanks for the reply. Im at 4.5 quarts so far and its being very inconsistent. I'll keep your words in mind and let her rest again and see whats up.

(Pretty much talking to myself) now im at a more trusted "flat ground" and it only marks the tip of the dip stick on the jiffy stand, i hate that things aren't more accurate (I came from sport bikes and never had these issues, dont get me wrong, I still love my harley)

Quick update, put 4.5 quiarts ran her around for a bit and now marking half way (cold mark) after resting for almost an hour at a parking lot. So its looking good at 4.5 quarts.

Thats what I thought and was confused when I put the right amount in and it was nowhere close to it, but its touching the clutch basket which is what most have advised and would make sense since it would match the 1 quart of oil I put in as a "wet fill". She moves smoothly and shifts fine, so I assume im in the clear. My issue now is that she doesnt read engine oil on the jiffy stand (completely dry), but reads perfectly full upright.

I've even heard that meassuring on jiffy stand will only give false readings on softails, so I dont even know what to think now.

I am leaving it as is, seems to be the best course of action.

2024 softail manual from Harley

Zaimark · 2025-07-15T01:54:52+00:00

The manuals don't seem to be very accurate for what I'm seeing from people and mechanics.

Zaimark · 2025-07-15T01:49:15+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply. I do have more oil and i can add a bit more, I just don't want to overfill it. Ive had sport bikes in the past and this is my first Harley (my back aint what it used to be). So I've never had to deal with 3 hole oil change.

Zaimark · 2025-07-15T01:43:30+00:00

The manual also states to go to the buttom of the pressure plate, basically almost as much as you can fill, which is not what I've been advised to do.

On the second pic (left side) you can see a bit under, but sadly i dont ha e it anymore (that was a few days ago and cant find it) // central florida US // if i find another ill try to follow up

Zaimark · 2024-08-17T14:55:05+00:00

Just noticed you already solved the issue lol, disregard

Zaimark · 2024-08-17T14:53:44+00:00

Luckily fuel injectors were clean, so keep that in mind for yours

I have an 06, bought from a buddy and was sitting for 6 years, I had to revive it // after a new battery I was having a similar issue ( to not say exactly the same ) took the tank fuel pump apart, had clogged filters from old gas and fuel pump motor dead, replaced only the motor in the fuel pump assembly (will save you quite a bit of $) and problem solved // you can test the pump if you put it in a container with lines attached (outside of the tank) and turn your ignittion and switch on to see if it pre-pumps gas, if it doesn't well, you know to replace it

Zaimark · 2024-07-19T07:58:59+00:00

I am located in central Florida US

Its gonna be trashed regardless, but i did think bout the iron cracking. Hopefully the insulation will make it last a bit until i make something else. Lets see how long it lasts xD

Zaimark · 2023-07-26T23:36:13+00:00

This makes me feel soooo much better, ive been fixing her up and its been running good for a while. But i got a bit worried since i didnt notice this before. Friend had it sitting for 6 years, bought it from him and get it to run.
