97 Sportster 1200 sport I'm getting a noise Sounds similar to worn brakes rubbing, but it's not the brakes.I suspect it may be coming from the clutch or gearbox - because - I drove it at about 60kmh, pulled in the clutch and hit the kill switch. So with the motor off, clutch pulled in, it still makes this rubbing noise. Another thing is when I'm coming to a stop (with the bike running), slowed down to about 15-20k the noise will stop - almost like something may have dis-engaged, before I've come to a complete stop. Any ideas welcome ! Thanks

Thanks for video. The only thing I would add is to get your back tire off the ground. Take your plugs out. Put the bike in 5th gear and rotate the back wheel slowly while your checking the primary chain slack. Find the tightest spot on the primary chain, then adjust if needed. That way you don't put to much tension on the bearings. Thanks again bro. Rubber side down.

Same here I just bought a 2003 Sportster 1200 custom and it's always good to have some reference for the 1st time, Your video is a great help, you rock bro! And don't worry about the drain plug it happens...just like launcing my boat once with out installing the hull drain plug and its scared the hell out of me.. LOL.

Wagner Ortega commented on 04 Apr 2014

I like a lot ur videos man, very helpful . I have a sportster 2008 low 1200 n I just change the engine oil n the transmission oil , so they tell me @ the dealer that I can use the same engine oil for the transmission , so is it? I used 20w50 ... Tnxs By the way I like evanescence too!! 

CHRIS BROESKY commented on 09 Jun 2015

A guy should rotate the chain and find the tightest area before adjusting it. You could adjust it to 1/2" in the looser area and it could be a 1/4" in the tighter area. Theres always variation in chain slack as you rotate the chain/sprockets. Same with bikes that have final drive chains.

Stuart Brandt commented on 18 Jul 2015

Neil Turner commented on 27 Jul 2014

Great vid thanks, I like your style and I will be looking for moe in the future. Having said that...Did I miss the part where you said to put the bike into Neutral before adjusting the Primary chain?

joey g commented on 05 Apr 2014

crystalsister commented on 05 Jul 2015

What a grate video! I've seen so many other, and they are all very serious and boring. Riding and look after your bike should be fun and sociable like you just showed. Thanks for this video.

I have been doing my oil changes on Harleys for 41 years.Food for thought: Your top end is starving for oil for a good 60-90 secs. on start up.Fill new filter 3/4 full before install. you may spill some til you get the hang of it. Never use filter wrench to install new filter. Use both hands to tighten filter. I wrap a piece of inner tube around filter to get good grip. I just replaced oil filter mount on a Harley where owner used filer wrench. $92.90+ labor at H-D. I did labor for free.

Shann1340 commented on 24 Aug 2012

Great tutorial, thank you very much. I'm a lady that owns a 2012 Blackline and a 1994 Heritage Softail Classic, and let me say that an oil change seems very easy now after your post. I did notice some few useful comments from others, not the axxholes that wanted you to look stupid, but the ones that are really trying to help. So I will also take a note of those comments as well. Knowing which screws have to be remove, having the right tools and this video I'm ready to go. So thank you.

El Sucio commented on 20 May 2015

snug the oil filter well, then 1/4 - 1/2 turn more... also I believe the torque spec is around 17-19ft lbs for the drain plugs (all 3).. dont use loctite or teflon tape, just properly torque it. If you dont have a torque wrench my mechanic says, good and tight but not gorrilla tight. Basically, tighten by hand until it stops then nudge it slightly with a wrench. Overall not a bad video, just some misinformation from whomever showed this guy.. not his fault

Peters78x commented on 06 Feb 2012

@Hog0611 have ur bike standing straight up (not on the stand!) on a level ground and fill the oil tell it touches the clutch u only want like a 1/4 inch of the clutch submerged in oil and if u have a lowering kit in just the front or just the back it will be wrong then unless u have an even lowering kit and if u have a bike older then 2000 i would not recomend synthetic in the the primary cause it can make the clutch slip

Mark Crawford commented on 07 May 2011

Great videos but one suggestion for you is when you put the new oil filter on you should only be making it hand tight don't use a wrench that is why it's so hard to get it off, you should add a little oil to the filter maybe 4oz. As for your Derby cover bolts you should be using a torque wrench as there's a torque value for these, not sure what it is for your bike. Thanks again for posting.

Hog0611 commented on 14 Jan 2012

I do have a queston. When you added the fluid to the primary case, how did you know it was full? I do not want to overfill mine so is there a landmark that will let me know i have added enough fluid? Thank you for the video and nice bike. I have an electra glide. I am like eveyone else and can not afford to go to the dealer for every service. Any help anyone can give would be great.

stevehalbers commented on 13 Aug 2013

At 1.25, the clutch cover screws are actually T27 size, not the T25 size you guessed. That causes some trouble since most torque screw sets include T25 size (which is a loose fit) and T30 size (which is too big). So many people use the T25 bit which can easily round out the screw. It is very important to obtain and use the correct T27 size bit ! Thanks for the video, very good.

justin macnevin commented on 22 Jun 2012

After going over the comments on my three videos most of them very helpful others not so much (trolls are welcome to comment) I will do a revised video on changing the oil using your comments. So in the next couple of days I will do the videos and use your suggestions. And hope that it will be even more useful for others. Thanks everyone for the comments and advise.

Peters78x commented on 06 Feb 2012

again clean around the area befor u put it back on! break cleaner works great and the use a air house to blow it off and u only hand tighten it on! holy shit man suprise u havnt striped the threads out yet. but u do have a sick bike love the all black and the bars! but id get different rims on it or atleast get spokes in the back blacked spokes woulb be awsome!

Apostolis Gogos commented on 08 May 2012

you screw it by hand until it fits perfectly. approximately 1 full turn until the gasket touches the engine. after that if want to be sure you screw it with the tool for only 1/4. basically just slightly more than normal. if you screw it more than it needs, the engine does not have a problem. but when you will try to remove it, it will be hard.

stevehalbers commented on 13 Aug 2013

When changing the gearbox and primary oils, it is always good practice to remove the filler orifice plugs first. If you remove the drain plugs first, then let the oil run out, and then find that one of the filler orifice screws is seized in place or rounded out, you have an immobilised vehicle since you can't (easily) refill with oil.

I keep hearing check the fluid level with the bike leaning on the kick stand. it WILL over fill it. Then I hear warm it up first then check it without leaning the bike on the kick stand. It seems that you would want to check without leaning it because that will be the position the bike would be in when going down the road right???? (upright)

Cody Bohm commented on 19 Sep 2015

+Cody Bohm  This dude is wrong. J&P needs a new tech. This is a simple task and he fU@# it up bad!!!!!!!!!!!!

rdam64 commented on 27 Aug 2015

+truedatmusting  Not so much

truedatmusting commented on 05 Aug 2015

Also dont dump a whole quart in . You put 20 oz then check and add. This guy is so wrong on all levels

Cody Bohm commented on 19 Sep 2015

+truedatmusting  I AGREE WITH U DUDE!!!! HE IS TOTALLY WRONG ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

truedatmusting commented on 05 Aug 2015

The bike is to be sitting straight up level when checking the fluid level and you do not screw the dipstick in to check level you. Sit it on to check and when finished screw it on. This guy is a tard.

Paul Dickinson commented on 26 Oct 2015

+rdam64 Correct!! My '15 Road King and my '13 Switchback were both the same. Service manual clearly stated to check the transmission with the motorcycle on the jiffy stand and do not tighten the dipstick, but run it in until the O ring touches and that is the correct position to check the fluid level. It also stated to start with 28 oz. then check the level. My '15 Road King takes exactly 30 oz. of transmission fluid to hit the full mark.

rdam64 commented on 27 Aug 2015

+truedatmusting Wrong.  Depends on what year you have.  My 14 owners manual and SERVICE MANUAL says check on jiffy stand,  screw in till O ring contacts.  Fluid amounts are a little different calling for 28oz (.83L).  Older bikes were checked upright...You're Welcome.

Andrzej Raczynski commented on 06 Oct 2014

thanks for the video. couple questions: 1) is there a specific oil filter # that I need to look for? everyone just keeps saying to get a "harley davidson oil filter" do they only make one that fits all their recent bikes?? 2) i read that one shouldn't switch to synthetic for the first 3k miles as the 'normal' oil has a lot of properties that are required to break in the pistons/etc properly, that synthetic can't provide. 3) i have close to 400 miles on my 2014 muscle (got it a month ago), and winter is coming soon, so will need to winterize her. should i drain and refill now? or wait for another 600 miles next year? TIA

Theodore “Theo” Sassos, PhD commented on 30 Dec 2015

thanks for the comment. Here's the answers to your questions: paul is correct, it does not matter, synthetic is fine. Yes you would need to go with the HD filter recommended directly by Harley Davidson for many reasons including threading issues that may or may not occur. Your last question at this point, did you wait? I would've waited till I had 1000 miles it wouldn't matter, however I live in the south so I ride my bike all year long.

Paul Thomas commented on 16 Apr 2015

+Andrzej Raczynski That's a myth about not being able to use full synthetic before 3k miles, you can use it from day 1 on a brand new motor. Look at Amsoil's site one of the best synthetic oils around, Mobile 1 for Vtwins is good too.

alone8406 commented on 20 Sep 2014

And you didn't change the oil filter.

smallengineshop commented on 27 Sep 2014

This video is about changing the transmission fluid and not the engine oil or filter.

alone8406 commented on 20 Sep 2014

Why are you calling the oil, transmission fluid? It is you're oil pan and it just so happens to lube the transmission as well but calling it strictly transmission is misleading to some.

smallengineshop commented on 27 Sep 2014

The oil and transmission are separate. This video is about changing the transmission fluid and not the engine oil or filter.

When we should replace transmission oil ? 

Bader Al Qahtani commented on 07 Jun 2014

+smallengineshop thanks bro.

smallengineshop commented on 07 Jun 2014

I think Harley Davidson recommends changing the transmission fluid on a 2009 Harley Davidson Softail Custom at 1500 miles, than every 20,000 miles. Double check that in the service manual for your motorcycle.
