BAKER DRIVETRAIN BD-1.5B Wrinkle Black Highlighted Pan Installation Guide

BAKER DRIVETRAIN BD-1.5B Wrinkle Black Highlighted Pan Installation Guide

OVERVIEW

FEATURES

• Unlike oil coolers, the +1.5 pan reduces the engine oil temperature, by 16 degrees or more, whether the bike is moving down the road or stuck in traffic.
• 2-piece 6061-T6 aluminum construction with metal core gasket.
• Design features cooling fins on bottom with highlighted finish.
• Co-planar baffle labyrinth channels hot return oil from front to rear on the top plane and back to the oil pickup, in the front, on the bottom plane for complete oil circulation.
• Clearanced in the rear for crossover exhaust pipe compatibility.
• Zero leak drain plugs for engine and transmission oil.
• Easy installation and no modification required. Remove axle from rear wheel and move it rearward against the fender to remove stock pan and install new one.

To realize maximum engine cooling benefit

Install the +1.5 pan and fill the oil sump to 5.5 quarts (+1.5 quarts) to realize the maximum reduction in oil temperature. Oil fill level on the dipstick will read the same as stock.

To realize maximum oil blow-by reduction

Oil blow-by on SE 110 engines is a chronic issue for aggressive riders. It is caused by the larger displacement engine building up pressure in the cam chest and the oil sump. This forces oil up the push rod tubes, out the head breathers, into the air cleaner and all over the right side of the bike. Harley tech line is advising dealers to run the stock oil sump 1 quart low to increase the volume of air in the sump. This corrects the blow-by issue but makes the oil temperature skyrocket. By running the +1.5 pan at .5 quarts over stock (4.5 quarts) the blowby condition can be cured with a small improvement in oil temperature reduction.

FITMENT

• 2009 – 2016 Touring Models (including Trike models)
  The 1.5 oil pan is not compatible with the S&S T series motors due to the width of our oil pan and the external routing of their oil lines.

PREPARATION

DISSASSEMBLY:

1. For your safety, DISCONNECT BOTH BATTERY TERMINALS (FAILURE TO DUE SO COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY).

2. Remove the oil and transmission drain plugs, drain fluid and dispose of at your local recycler. Remove the oil fill plug with dip stick.

3. Remove the saddle bags and place them out of the way so that they don’t get damaged.

4. Remove the right side and left side exhaust muffler. Remove the left side muffler at the catalytic converter section; the crossover pipe will stay attached to the left muffler, figure 2.

5. Remove the exhaust hanger located in the rear of the oil pan.

6. Remove the rear bracket by removing the 2 fastener bolts and sliding the caliper off of the brake disk and hang the caliper off of the bottom saddle bag rail so it’s out of the way, figure 3.
   CALIPER REMOVAL, FIGURE 3
   
   DO NOT JACK ON THE CROSSM THE FRAME AS THIS WILL BEND. THE JACK SHOULD BE PLACED SO THAT IT CONTACTS BOTH FRAME RAILS.
   INSTALLATION NOTE:
   Due to the design of the BAKER 1.5 Pan to maximize oil volume; the pan will not fit properly if the crossmember on the frame is bent. Make sure that the crossmember is flat and not bent upward toward the transmission. If the crossmember is bent the pan will hit on the right side frame rail. Proper fitment should leave around 1/8” clearance or more between the pan and the right side frame rail.

7. Place a bike jack underneath the frame and raise the rear wheel, so it’s just barely off of the ground; enough to get the weight of the bike off of the rear axle. Remove the rear plastic belt guard. The front bolt of the guard will stay in the swing arm, this will aid in the pan installation by holding the belt out of the way.

8. Loosen the rear axle, slide tire forward then slide the belt off of the rear pulley and remove the axle. Now slide the tire all the way back, inside the rear fender. This will allow you enough room to remove and install the BAKER 1.5 oil pan

9. With the bike still supported, take a few 2 x 4’s and block up under the motor area of the frame so you can remove the jack (get it out of the way) and the bike will stay supported properly. Make sure that you block this up under the motor so you have enough room to remove the front oil pan bolts, figure 4.
   2 X 4’S UNDER THE MOTOR AREA, FIGURE 4
   

10. Using the front belt guard bolt; loosen the bolt up enough to stick the rear belt underneath it.
    This bolt will hold the rear belt up and out of the way while you work on the oil pan, figure 5.

11. Remove the 12 retaining bolts from the stock oil pan and remove the pan out the left rear side of the motorcycle, figure 6. Make sure not to damage the transmission to pan gasket surface area while removing the pan.

12. With the pan out of the way, use a clean lint free cloth or shop rag and wipe the gasket surface clean.

BAKER DRIVETRAIN SHIPS THE 1.5 ASSEMBLED. THE PAN MUST BE DISSASSEMBLED FOR INSTALLATION.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU DISSASSEMBLE THE PAN, USE SHOP AIR AND BLOW OUT THE INTERNAL AREA OF THE PAN TO GET RID OF ANY DEBRIS THAT MIGHT BE PRESENT FROM SHIPPING.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO RUN A TEMPERATU SENSOR WITH A SENDING UNIT, REMOVE THE 3/8” NPT PLUG FROM THE FRONT OF THE BOTTOM OIL PAN AND INSTALL THE SENDING UNIT WITH PIPE THREAD SEALANT AND SNUG INTO PLACE.

INSTALLATION

1. Make sure and wipe down the gasket surface area of the transmission with so me brake cleaner using a lint free rag. Referring to the exploded view (figure 1) get the top pan bolts (9pcs of 1/4-20x.750” SHCS) ready by applying Blue Loctite® to the threads.

2. Install the top pan with top gasket through the left rear side of the motorcycle, figure 7.
   TOP PAN INSTALLATION, FIGURE 7
   
   Install the 9 bolts; just start the bolts for now making sure that the top gasket is aligned properly. Use two of the 1/4- 20×2” SHCS bolts and just start by hand to keep the gasket aligned, refer to figure 8. Snug the ¾” long bolts then torque to 110-130 in-lbs following the sequence in figure 8.

3. Remove the two 2” long bolts used for keeping the gasket aligned. Prepare the remainder of the BAKER 1.5 bolts by applying Blue Loctite® to the threads.

6. Following your Factory Service Manual reinstall your rear wheel with belt, belt guard, exhaust hanger bracket, exhaust mufflers, and rear brake caliper.

7. Fill transmission fluid per your Factory Service Manual and fill the BAKER 1.5 with motor oil of your choice. We recommend Spectro® Synthetic V-Twin 20W50 motor oil and Spectro® Synthetic 75W140 transmission fluid.

8. When filling the motor oil, refer to page 2; depending which way best suits your needs. Test ride!
   Follow your Factory Service Manual for recommended oil change intervals.
