Oil Recommendations

For the first 500 miles of operation we recommend using high quality petroleum
based API service SJ rated motor oils, such as Ultima 20W50, MW# 103-114. The
oil's viscosity should be matched with the climate conditions but in most cases
Ultima 20w50 motor oil will work fine. After initial break-in (over 500 miles) we
recommend using Ultima full synthetic motor oil, MW#103-115.

Oil Filters

®
All Ultima engines require oil filters. Oil filter mounting bolts are located on the
right side of the engine case made to accept 92/99 FXST
When using this type of filter housing make sure the lines are routed as shown in
Figure 5. Any of our high quality 40 Micron Ultima
style of filter mount.

Oil Coolers

Ultima recommends oil coolers in applications where heavy loads are pulled or
ambient temperatures exceed 90˚F or oil temps exceed 210˚F. When choosing an
oil cooler, it is best to choose one that is finned & forward mounted on the frame.
When using oil coolers in cold temperatures, either install a thermostat or a cover
to insure the oil temperature makes it to a minimum operating temperature of
150˚F.

Charging system selection

®
Ultima engines are supplied with MW part #98-360 main seal spacer for use with 32 amp charging systems. This spacer was used on most 19

or 44 amp system you must change the spacer to that system's specific spacer or the Stator Rotor will contact the crankcase. You will also have
to replace the engine main seal, MW# 95-805. All charging systems are available through Midwest Motorcycle Supply.
