Here's why:
* Model Year and Engine Size: The amount of oil needed varies depending on the specific model year and engine size of your Sportster.
* Transmission Type: Some Sportsters have a 4-speed transmission, while others have a 5-speed. This affects the oil capacity.
To find the correct amount:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source for information specific to your motorcycle.
2. Check your service manual: Service manuals often provide detailed specifications, including oil capacity.
3. Contact your local Harley-Davidson dealer: They can help you determine the correct amount of oil for your Sportster.
Important Note: Using the wrong amount of oil can damage your transmission. Always refer to the recommended amount in your owner's or service manual.
