#237959 20Penny (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 111 Transfer Check? 3 Years, 6 Months ago   I was just wondering how you guys with aftermarket pipes check your transfer oil level. I have Cobra pipes on mine(bought it that way) and they are in the way of the check hole. Thanks!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #237964 Crusierbob (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1291 Re:Transfer Check? 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Check it why? When I change it I drain the oil and put a measured amount back in. I do not remember the exact amount, but I have a metered beaker and pour the required amount in. The weep hole is blocked by many after market pipes and removing them is a pain. I followed this procedure the last time I changed the transfer case lube, about 12,000 miles ago and all seems to be fine.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #237966 20Penny (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 111 Re:Transfer Check? 3 Years, 6 Months ago   I just wanted to check it to make sure it had the right amount in it since I bought the bike used.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #237970 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3315 Re:Transfer Check? 3 Years, 6 Months ago   20Penny-- I can't blame you for wanting to check, but you may need to bite the bullet and loosen up the offending pipe. Aside from being a PITA, it shouldn't require much more than time...the (stock) pipe-to-head exhaust gaskets are reusable. I lucked out with my HK's...they don't block it at all.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 6903 Re:Transfer Check? 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Yep..really no way around it. I have Cobra low boys and when it came time for my 16k change, I just pulled the top pipe off and did it...no big deal. But I like tinkerin'!   Logged     ...Scott   The administrator has disabled public write access. #237975 FatJay (User) Life's to important to take seriously. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1462 Re:Transfer Check? 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Why check? You got it used, probably not a bad idea to change it out regardless, and apply the proper amount of fluid when refilling it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #237992 Crusierbob (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1291 Re:Transfer Check? 3 Years, 6 Months ago   If you take the pipe off get a new exhaust gasket. I know some of you have been able to reuse them, but mine have always leaked when reused. The fireworks are impressive though. Last time I was getting flames a foot long out of the pipe when she backfired, until I changed the gasket.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/11/16 15:10 By Crusierbob.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #237996 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 7000 Re:Transfer Check? 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Wonderful Roadliner stock pipe requires it be removed to check/change/whatever the T/C fluid. Terrible pipe design , but I just bite the bullet and drop it.

It holds 13.44 ozs. You wouldn't have to look at it again for a long time.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #238051 20Penny (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 111 Re:Transfer Check? 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Well I was afraid that is what you guys were going to say.
