    Was reading about oil changing and read where someone said 2.5 in swingarm and 1 quart in primary. Where is the primary at.

    Here's the primary. You can find it on the left side of the bike.

    You can use many, but I've used a K & N filter, part number KN-177, purchased NOT from the dealer, but from a local PeP Boys Auto shop

    Most of us just use Compatible Oil Filters. Here's a list:

    ACDelco # PF1233
    Amsoil SDF10
    Bosch # 3311
    Champion # C138
    Fram # PH4967
    HD # 63806-00Y
    K&N # hp-1003/KN-177
    Mighty # m4477
    Napa # 1394
    Mobil 1 # M1-103
    Motorcraft # FL836
    Penzoil # pz39
    Purolator Pure One # L14476
    STP # S4967
    Valvoline # vo40
    Wal-Mart Super Tech # ST4967
    Wix # 51394


    As far as changing the primary, Click the "Buell Service Manuals" link at the top of this page. They may not be you're exact year/model, but the basics of oil changes & general maintenance items are the same.

    Can we sticky this post?
    Having the oil filter numbers readily available would be radical.

    You can easily find this list on the 150 links thread. It is stickied at the top of general motorcycle chat and the list is broken down by topic also you can get the same list on stevenc150's profile by clicking his name
