Or is it more along the lines of that the old fan settings were overkill and they dialed it down (increased the temp threshold that it kicks on) for rider comfort/less wear on the fan?
I went back as far as I could go in your history (march 4 2017) and didn't see anything about oil level checks. Also searched the xb12x forum for "oil level check" and came back with nothing. Basically I'm just wondering if I actually need more than 2.5qts. My ****ty Sportster service manual called for about .5 qt more than it would hold so that's where my apprehension is from. Also, does the suspension setting drastically impact the shown level of oil? Because if it's stiffer it won't squat as much and the swing arm will be more upright, if that makes sense. Maybe there isn't even enough of a change for that to matter.
