I own a 2006 Triump America. I want to change the oil myself. I read somewhere there are two drain bolts and it is important to remove the right one. Is this true?
No, you just need to remove one and make sure that you drain all the oil. They have to drain bolts, one is usually set a little bit lower then the other one, but it doesnt matter which one you remove as long as you drain the oil completely

First off, there is no oil filter. The oil drain plug is a square ended bolt, usually found on the front or side of the lower part of the motor. Oil type, refer to owners manual, or call dealer.
i would change the oil every 100 hours or six months in the engine.
and would change the oil in the pump every 12 months.
to change the engine oil,look for a 12mm or 13mm bolt at the base of the motor.
it should be at the front of the engine.undo bolt & drain oil into a container.
tighten bolt up & fill engine with new oil.
you probly drained the primary case oil, which house the primary drive chain and clutch. The main oil is in the oil tank, there should be a drain bolt on the bottom of the tank
well the drain plug is ALWAYS gonna be on the bottom of the oil pan bolted to the bottom of the engine, the filter is either gonna be on the oil pump near the oil pan or it will be screwed into the side of the engine block, either way you should be able to see it just from a quick look from underneath the car.
I think you can find the oil drain on the left side of the bike down low on the frame right behind the engine. It's a large diameter hose that plugs onto a stub on the frame. Some are located just below the battery tray and some are lower on the frame down by the rear of the primary case. Drain the oil, change the filter, refill with oil, and you're ready to go.
If you want to change the transmission oil/ primary oil, the drain is underneath the bottom of the primary at the very rear of the primary.
Three quarts of engine oil and a quart of primary/transmission oil.
underneath the front of your car there will be the bottom of your engine, and what will look like a large metal sink basin with rounded corners, there will be a bolt this is your drain plug get a large container to catch the oil remove the bolt, and drain as for the oil filter it is a small coffee can sized cylender on the rear of your engine after draining the oil twist off the filter (its the only Orange or brightly colored cylender on your engine) replace it with a new one put the drain plug back in and fill it back up with oil one quart at a time through the fill hole on the top of your engine untill the dipstick reads full
The solutions are close, so I must assume they are HD Road King answers, just not a 1999 Road King. The drain plug is on the front (facing the forks) left side (clutch) of the oil pan. On the 1999 model the drain plug is a 3/4 inch bolt. After changing the oil, be sure to replace the O-ring. The O-ring is rubber and does not last more than a single oil change. HD charges a dollar for the O-ring, but better to replace it than to end up with your new oil all over the garage floor.
