LADIES OF HARLEY'S REPORT

New Hot-line Number!  770-908-3435

Beginning Monday February 23rd, thanks to the suggestion of our members, we now have a Hot-line for everyone to call for status of our rides and events. The number is 770-908-3435. I will update the message periodically. I will update each time we have an activity or ride planned to remind you of the upcoming events and/or changes that may occur. You can call the number day or night for information. This is a new project to see if it will benefit our members.

Please call in and check out the new HOTLINE and also look at our WEB site. We want to know what you think!

Tech Tips!

Engine Oil

Engine Oil level should be checked only when the engine is at normal operating temperature. Perform pre-ride check, oil should register on dipstick of cold engine. Do not add oil to full mark on a cold engine. After engine is at normal operating temperature remove dipstick and check level. Add oil to top off at proper level.

Transmission

The transmission oil level should be checked monthly. When checking the transmission the motorcycle should be standing straight up, not on the jiffy stand. Check at normal operating temperature. Remove transmission dipstick plug and check its level. Lubricant should be between the two marks on the stick. Add lubricant as necessary do not overfill.

If you have any questions relating to this contact the service department at Harley-Davidson of Atlanta.
