Introduzione
Anche se nel corso degli anni sono stati fatti alcuni piccoli aggiornamenti sulla Sportster, la procedura di cambio dell'olio per tutti i modelli dal 1986 a oggi è la stessa. Questa guida prende come esempio una Sportster del 1998.
Cosa ti serve
-
-
Il bloccaggio della moto in posizione verticale consente un accesso più facile al tubo di scarico olio.
-
-
-
Questo tubo è fissato con una fascetta ad un nipplo (raccordo cilindrico) saldato al telaio.
-
Allenta la fascetta con un cacciavite a lama piatta. Non rimuovere il tubo fino a quando la vaschetta di scarico non è in posizione.
-
Stacca il tubo flessibile dal nipplo e lascia che l'olio scoli nella vaschetta di scarico.
-
Quando il flusso dell'olio rallenta fino a sgocciolare, rimetti il tubo al suo posto. Non serrare ancora la fascetta, ci torneremo su più tardi.
-
-
-
Il filtro dell'olio si trova nella parte anteriore del motore, tra il tubo obliquo del telaio e il cilindro anteriore.
-
Rimuovi il filtro dell'olio. Potrebbe essere necessaria una chiave per filtri olio.
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?

-
-
-
Apri una tanica da 1 litro di olio. Versalo nel filtro fino a quando è pieno circa a metà.
-
Applica una piccola quantità di olio pulito sulla guarnizione in gomma del nuovo filtro dell'olio.
-
Pulisci l'alloggiamento del filtro dell'olio e i residui di olio che si sono depositati sulla motocicletta.
-
-
-
Riporta la vaschetta sotto il tubo di scarico dell'olio. A questo punto vi si sarà raccolto più olio. Togli di nuovo il tubo e lascia che si esaurisca fino a quando non resterà solo un leggero gocciolamento.
-
Reinstalla il tubo di scarico dell'olio sul suo nipplo (raccordo cilindrico), stringendo la fascetta stringitubo con un cacciavite a lama piatta.
-
-
-
Togli il tappo dell'olio dal serbatoio dell'olio.
-
Con l'imbuto, versa lentamente 3 litri di olio nel serbatoio dell'olio.
-
Usa il tappo dell'olio/asta di livello per controllare il livello dell'olio motore (mantenendo dritta la moto se hai lavorato con la moto sul cavalletto laterale). Il livello dell'olio deve essere tra i 2 segni dell'astina di livello. Dopo aver fatto il rabbocco con 3 litri di olio, il livello dell'olio dovrebbe arrivare al punto superiore.
-
È una buona idea avviare il motore e lasciarlo girare per qualche minuto. Controlla che il tubo di scarico e il filtro dell'olio non presentino perdite. Ricontrolla il livello dell'olio e regolalo se necessario.

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+
Eric Essen: G. bless your generations forever. Manu, Brazil.
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?
