The trans lube is the same as the primary lube. As long as the primary fluid is touching the bottom of the clutch basket with the bike sitting upright, you are good. You will have to remove the clutch (derby) cover on the primary cover to check the oil level.

Follow the hose that goes to the frame from the oil tank. Loosen the clamp and pull.

45@does the sportster use the same oil for engine & tranny

I think the later models are designed to use the same type of oil in both the engine and the prmary/transmission. But, I have never agreed with this. I use H-D Syn 3 20W50 oil in the engine but I prefer to run either Harley's primary and transmission lube or one of the other manufacturers lubricants in the transmission. If you use another manufacturer's lubricant, go to their website and check for compatibility for use in your Sportster.

Good Luck

What type of oil does a 2004 Harley Davidon XL 1200 Sportster Custom take. Will Royal Purple Max Cycle 10W30 work?

No, but the Royal Purple Max Cycle 20W50 will if they offer that. All Sportsters and Big Twin Harley's use 20W50 oil.

Good Luck
