I'm picking up my 1st Harley soon. A 2012 Nightster XL1200N. Family bought it brand new & bro in-law has only ridden it around the neighborhood & starts it every once in a while. Everything is original with a very low 300 miles so this will be the 1st oil change. I want to change out the engine oil & tranny fluid ASAP since so much time has gone by.
Few Q's for y'all:
*What are they filled with from the factory? Conventional or synthetic?
*If conventional, should I stick with the same til 1k miles before going synthetic?
*In my previous sportbikes, I've ran car oil filters & Shell Rotella T-6 from Walmart with awesome results. Can I get the same stuff for the Harley?
