Where to add transmission fluid on 2000 Harley Sportster?

The transmission fluid on a 2000 Harley Sportster is added through the derby cover. Here are the steps:

1. Park the motorcycle on a flat surface. Turn off the engine and allow it to cool down.

2. Locate the derby cover. The derby cover is located on the left side of the motorcycle, just below the seat. It is a round, metal cover with a Harley-Davidson logo in the center.

3. Remove the derby cover. Use a wrench to loosen the bolts that hold the derby cover in place. Be careful not to drop the bolts.

4. Add transmission fluid. Use a funnel to add transmission fluid to the motorcycle. The transmission fluid level should be between the "FULL" and "ADD" marks on the dipstick.

5. Replace the derby cover. Replace the derby cover and tighten the bolts.

Here are some tips for adding transmission fluid to a 2000 Harley Sportster:

* Use the correct type of transmission fluid. The correct type of transmission fluid for a 2000 Harley Sportster is SAE 20W-50 motor oil.
