Hello everyone. A little introduction to me: I'm 53 years old and bought my first bike. HD street 750. I've put a grand total of 40 miles on it this week. I checked oil, and it's pretty low. Is that pretty normal? And, do i need to go back to HD dealer and get HD oil? That's what owners manual calls for and I'm inclined to do that. TIA for any help

Thanks so much. Turns out,i should have read owner's manual. I've been reading it,but haven't finished. I had no idea you are supposed to check oil with engine hot. [emoji2369]Never heard of that before. I did stand bike up straight when checking oil. After checking with motor hot, oil level looks okay. Thanks so much for responding. This is brand new journey for me. I appreciate all the help i can get. [emoji106]

Well this is a good place to come for some info.. Do yourself a favor and buy a service manual. It will save you a bunch of money (If you can use basic tools) I do most of my maintenance and it saves a ton of time and money. Enjoy the new ride and have fun!!!

Cheers!!
