简介
尽管多年来Sportster发生了一些微小变化，但所有1986年型号的换油程序是一样的。 本指南以1998年Sportster为例。
你所需要的
-
-
机油滤清器位于发动机的前部，位于框架下管和前气缸之间。
-
拆下滤油器。 这可能需要一个滤油器扳手。
If you don’t have a wrench and the filter is hard to remove you can hammer ( I used a rubber mallet to avoid damaging paint) a screwdriver clean through the old filter and then bang on the handle of the screwdriver ( anti-clockwise) until the filter unscrews. It’s an ugly but effective way to get the job done.
Does the screw on bolt behind the oil filter supposed to be against the engine casing or backed off some?
2002 Sportster 883xl

启动引擎，让它运行几分钟是个好主意。 检查排水管和油过滤器是否有泄漏。 重新检查油位，并根据需要进行调整。

One of the most helpful guides on a sportster oil change.
You may be able to use a Form-A-Funnel (Pig Funnel) to catch the oil from the filter.

IF(!) I owned a Hardley like this, i would keep an eye on the drain hose for deterioration or road debris damage, and probably carry a spare hose. Also, a vandal could loosen the clamp or cut the hose.
Very helpful, simple instruction, good pictures
Best oil change I've read. Easy and hard to make mistakes. A+

Thank you! made it easy (except the oil filter was a bastard to get off) :)
Your instructions are quick and to the point covering the most important steps in an oil and filter change. I had to research getting the oil filter off - the HD dealership crew tightened it on so tight the filter was seized up solid so I actually used the removal wrench and drilled the face of it with five self tapping screws directly into the filter. Next, I used a pipe on my ratchet handle for added torque for removal - more than 3' of pipe. Thanks again for well thought out directions. Clean oil and filter and No leaks!!!
thumbs up helpful guide
Great article , very clear with good pics.
A few things I worked out while following it :
If you live in the UK or Europe 3 Quarts ( 3/4 of a US Gallon ) is 2.8 litres or 5 pints of oil.
I used 20W50 semi-synthetic oil.
Warm the bike engine first if it’s cold - the oil will run out more freely.
If you don’t have a filter wrench and the old filter is hard to remove I was recommended the following trick by 2 different mechanics. - You can hammer a screwdriver clean through the sides of the old filter and then bang on the handle of the screwdriver ( anti-clockwise) until the filter unscrews. I used a rubber mallet to avoid dinging the paint. It’s an ugly but effective way to get the job done.
I should have invested in a box of disposable gloves
Hi
this is really good information
Harley-Davidson Sportster Evolution Oil Change
this my website related bikes please check it
Thanks Eric
I’m 65 years young and first time HD rider. All the other bikes were basically simple. The Harley has a few quirky ways to assemble and torque bolts. Re: Head bolt specs on torque procedures. Your pictures and explanations were very easy to understand and use. Thanks for the help.
Selection of oil matter a lot in the health of engine. So try your best to change it at time, and also prefer a oil that is engine friendly. Like https://he.com.pk/machines/bikes/best-mo... are best for the Honda CD 70 and Honda 125.

Thanks a ton, I already knew what I was after, but your pictures are great for second checking my own handy work.
my ride is a 1999 Sportster XL1200 Sport with stock pipes and an S&S Super E Jetted .0295 / .072
Anybody’s day can understand your clear , and to the point instructions…..
Fantastic information thank you very much
What’s the best way to get the very most oil out of your motor? Would it help to drop the oil pump? Would this allow your sump to drain more thoroughly
Great info A+
Great learning aid for beginners.
You never stated what kind of oil?!!

Thank you! I’m about to do this for the first time. I have a Sportster -91 and my drain tube seem to have a different location, right under the battery.
I hope the procedure is the same anyway…
I found files and 3d-printed a tool for the oil filter:
Thanks for the heads up on the drain hose I was looking for a drain plug this is the first small bike I ever had great information thanks again Paul Taylor St Louis MO
Thanks brother!
That was very thorough. Please let us know when you're ready to do the primary. Thanks so much.
glad to see it written that 86 to present sportsters are all the same as far as the oil drain line.i have owned quite a few of them and now have an 88 1200. i looked around under it for this drain hose,didn’t see it so came looking for info. the manual don’t show where it is. and sometimes,people can run them to various places for whatever reason,so i assumed maybe this one had some different setip.but thanks,i’ll go look closer,i’m sure it’s right there like every other i’ve changed i just overlooked it.it’s hard finding specific info on such thibgs even with a worldwide database to look at.weird it is.
My friend lost his job due to covid, did not want to ruin credit, so I took over payments, he is 5.8 160lbs, I'm 6.2 240lbs, the Mc has front controls, I can't see out of mirrors, the rear shocks are terrible, can I put progressive 13inc shocks on rear without having to mess with front end? Also he had just bought Mc so had less than 1000 miles on it, when I got to 1000 miles I changed oil myself an easy 20min job that Harley wanted $400 to do, it says you change tyranny oil at 5000 miles, Mc runs good but I would not buy it bc is to small for a person my size, unless he gets a job and pays me back I guess I did buy it, mirrors are no problem, and don't want to dump money into this Mc, only want a little comfort when riding, so I guess my question is can I put 13inc progressive shocks on rear without having to mess with front end.
Where is the oil suppose to be in between those 2 marks. I cant find any info on the internet. I was told to never go higher than that first mark even hot. But i feel like this is way to low on the dipstick.

What kind of oil do I use?
What if you forgot to add oil to the filter 1/2 way after you put it back, will it make a problem?
