- November 08, 2014, 18:57:08 PMthat's a bit too much. Mine holds EXACTLY 3.4 QT. Measured it many times....I can get 3.5 in if I drain the oil at the pick up screen. 3.4 puts it exactly on the "high" mark in the window.

- October 30, 2014, 17:19:48 PMcalled the biggest dealer in the area yesterday and asked him about replacement cartridges, and he had no idea what i was talking about. he put me on hold to ask someone in service about it, came back and said that he could order the whole kit for me at 17 dollars, but he hadn't ordered one in years. said everyone just went back to stock filters.

- October 23, 2014, 16:13:12 PMI would check your engine numbers to be sure. It would be really bad to have your oil filter blow off and dump engine oil right in front of the rear tire.

- October 23, 2014, 09:15:44 AMLook at the recall (link previously posted)... it gives the vin # impacted. The recall does NOT result in a spin off filter. It is a whole different deal. If you had one you'd know it.

- October 23, 2014, 05:55:35 AMNo, it uses a cartridge type filter in a heavy duty case. The case looks a lot like a spin on filter with a nut on the end. Not all bikes needed the recall. Look behind your kickstand on the side of the engine and get the number. If it's between 121281 and 128445 you need the recall.
At least that's what I've come to understand. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the replacement cartridge.
It kinda sucks that I have three filters left from my roadstar that fit the drifter. I also have two cases of 20-50 Mobil 1 v-twin oil I possibly can't use.
Oh well, small price to pay for owning such a gorgeous bike........

- October 22, 2014, 22:22:01 PMI'll have to admit I'm still confused on all this. Does the recall work put the bike back to using the normal spin-on filter??
I have a 2003, and it uses the spin-on filter, I believe it's the same as all the other 1500s.

- October 22, 2014, 10:32:49 AMif you get the filter part # you can order from any oem parts supplier. I don't have that part# - just the kit... so best bet is to go to the dealer and see what they have.

- October 21, 2014, 16:22:05 PMOk, I've got a 2003 that has had the recall done, and I'm a little unclear on what that means. Do I have to buy a special filter now? What, exactly, did they do to change it.
Thanks.
Brad.
