TRANSMISSION LUBRICANT: The transmission
lubricant level should be checked monthly. Big Dog
Motorcycles recommends premium V-Twin motorcycle

Harley synthetic lubricant is NOT recommended for use
in Big Dog Motorcycles transmissions.

CHECKING TRANSMISSION LUBRICANT LEVEL:

The transmission lubricant level should be checked only
when the drive train is at normal operating temperature.
Turn the engine off and position the motorcycle upright
and level. Leave the motorcycle in this position for a short
period allowing the lubricant level to equalize. Remove
the threaded dipstick (see illustration), wipe excess oil off
and reinsert until threads on dipstick and filler neck align
(DO NOT THREAD). Remove the dipstick and take the
reading. The lubricant level should be between the two
marks on the dipstick. The transmission capacity is 20 oz.
Do not over fill or leakage may occur. Install the dipstick.
