Here’s a tip: 1. Use Gasgacinch Gasket Sealer on paper gaskets and their surfaces. 2. Use ThreeBond Liquid Gasket 1184 on machined metal-to-metal surfaces. 3. Bolt lengths differ in most components, although they may appear similar in length. I have witnessed a few primaries damaged from bolts blowing out the blind holes in the inner primary case. 4. Clean, dry and flat surfaces are a MUST to promote good gasket sealing and adhesion. Learn to use a file and flatten any high spots that typically occur with parts that have been in place and torqued for a long length of time. 5. Re-check your critical fasteners! Harley’s do shake a bit and will loosen fasteners with the high temperature heat cycling.

Enjoyed the video as always. I had an issue this weekend on a ride out to Bikefest in Leesburg. A little less then 2 hours getting there and as I pulled in and parked my 2016 Heritage Classic I turned her off and about to put her on the stand when I hear a sizzling and feel pain in my right upper thigh. When I move my leg I find my oil cap blew off when I turned off engine and sprayed my leg in oil that then ran off and was burning on muffler and hot engine. The only thing I had done recently except for saddlebags and minor bolt ons was I had air filter out wiping out the airbox and cleaning off the filter a bit. When it all cooled down later and I opened the airbox again it looks like maybe the hose going into the back of the filter might have been kinked. Took filter off and put hose back in again made sure no kink and it rode home fine. Only figured it out because it was all I had done mechanically and the information I found online for blowing oil caps off was all over the place from wrong bolts to over filled oil and random guesses. Would love to see a video from a pro on something like that.

10 month old video, so I'm not sure if you'll see this. I have a 2012 Fatbob, and I got very concerned when I saw oil on top of the crank case of my bike, right at the base of the pushrods. At first I had thought that I probably overfilled the engine which might have led to the leak. After cleaning I realized I had installed an aftermarket S&S air cleaner, and that oil was dripping from the air cleaner and directly onto the base of the pushrods making it look like the leak was coming from there. Excellent video. Thanks for sharing the info.

🛵 Nice video John 🛵 Your final comment about this video translating to older bikes needs a little correction if you don’t mind 🧠 I just did this job on my 07 FLSTN. You have to remove the oil tank to get at the starter bolts. It’s major surgery! Exhaust system, back wheel, inner fender and battery as well. The wiring harness and fuse box zip ties all have to be cut and shifted out of the way to make room. Then comes the coup des gras... unhook all your oil lines, remove at least 6 bolts and then gently wrestle the oil tank out without damaging anything. Harley’s design engineers must have been high the day they designed this bike. Just hope you never get an inner primary leak on your early model twin cam Softail. It would cost a fortune in labour at the dealer or anywhere for that matter. 🛵 😜 I’m impressed that it only took MoCo 3 decades to find a solution by having a side panel access to the battery. 😂 Love your videos!

Awesome video like always. I bought a 2017 1200C back in December. I’ve had an issue with the front end hopping between 40-50mph ever since I bought it. I’ve taken it to the dealer 4 times (2 different dealers) since it is under warranty and it can be fixed for free like u mentioned. An HD corporate inspector even came out and rode my bike. Every time I take it in they keep saying the bike is normal and rides like a sportster should. I finally got fed up and decided to swing into my local independent shop to see what they had to say. The owner of that shop said there’s no way it’s normal and that I have a bad tire. Shifted belt in the tire most likely. He has seen it happen many times with the Michelin scorcher 31 tires which is what is on my bike. I take in to him in a week to have the bike checked. Funny how a simple conversation with him, he already knew what the issue was when HD mechanics and an inspector keep telling me my bike is fine when it really isn’t. This is in no way a hit towards u John. Just making a statement about Harley Davidsons warranty. Ur shop may be different but the two dealers in my area have rubbed me the wrong way. Keep up the awesome videos John. I always look forward to watching every Wednesday!

My '99 Road King has developed a transmission fluid leak recently after 38,000 miles. Bel-Ray is dripping from around the front belt sprocket, so a local shop took a look at it and diagnosed it as 'loose transmission door bolts'. 1/2 hour labor is all they charged me, but the leak returned soon after. A buddy says he'll help me with the repair, since he recently did the same job on his Evos, but I'm bummed that the dealership didn't even look a little closer. Oh, well, old Harleys doing old Harley things...

I'm now vacationing in sunny Florida, I picked up the 1990 FXRS-SP I had been saving for; Now comes the fun part. So after installing a new battery the engine started great and shortly after starting it began pouring oil out of the engine, closer inspection found the crankcase vent hose that is on the back of the engine behind the oil pump, this hose is intended to go up to the breather; It has the S&S Super "E" carb and S&S breather. I was thinking the woodruff key in the scavenge pump was broke causing the oil pump to not return oil to the oil tank. I pulled the oil pump down and the key was not broken. So I have the oil pump gaskets on order and I'm making new oil lines, I also found the oil filter adapter was loose so I was able to tighten that up. I did buy the factory service manual so when I was looking at the troubleshooting section it listed the oil lines, oil filter as possible restriction points. Now the oil hoses still had the factory clamps so I'm thinking they are from 1990 and don't have a problem spending the money to repair the bike as it is worth way more than the 5K that I paid for it. When I found the key wasn't broken I started digging into the book a bit more, I was reading about the crankcase vent. Now being as the bike only has 8,550 miles from 1990 it has sat way more than it has been ridden. So now I'm looking at going into the gear cover to check the crankcase vent. I couldn't find anything about a oil pick up tube or screen, I did read about a passage in the crankcase. Basically it's not pumping the scavenged oil out of the engine. So if you have had a issue like this please let me know if I'm headed in the right direction, if not I will let you know what I find after I fix it. The engine is the 1340 EVO, the guy I got it from said their was only just over 1900 of these bikes built, I'm sure this is the only one that only has 8,550 miles the complete description is 1990 FXRS-SP 1340 EVO 5 speed. I'm really not sure where I can find production information, I know it was a "3" California release. I was able to verify the information in the service manual.
@TheHarleyTech
5 жыл бұрын
I've seen before that a bike that has been sitting has allowed oil from the oil tank to drain into the crankcase. Not really a problem except it may vent out of the type upon start up. It's also a problem if you top the oil tank off completely. Then you have 6 quarts or so in a 3 quart tank! I'm not sure where I would go from where you are now, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was just venting out excessive oil in the crankcase to start. With so few miles (if it's original speedo) I wouldn't think you're going to find too much inside that engine. However, it might be worth replacing some gaskets since you're already there.

Great content! I have a 2016 road king that I have not rode in two weeks been sitting in my garage and I just walked past it and noticed a nickel sized drip of oil about 3/4 of the way back underneath my exhaust on my left hand side any idea where that oil would be coming from

Maybe when I don’t have 3 kids in my house! Haha. I’d love to put out 2 a week. The quality of video wasn’t the same the few times I’ve pulled it off, though!

Saw an oil leak on my 2006xl883l Sportster today. It's raining here in NEW YORK CITY today. But in think it's running from the right side towards the left.

Hey man I have a 2018 RG standard...Have you come across any of the new 107 M8's with a top end tick or radle? In front rocker box I keep being told it's normal by the dealer... but I have friends with this motor that are smooth and quiet mine not to noticeable at idle but under load it's loud and annoying

How many miles so far ? What engine oil and weight of oil ? My 07 sporty engine noise was horrible from day one and the dealer said it was normal so I figured oh well hopefully it blows and is covered by warranty. 11k miles later it finally hit that sweet spot and most of the noise is gone. I run conventional 20w50 diesel rated engine oil in all my bikes engines. I send oil tests off to Peterson Cat for analysis also good quality Wix or Baldwin oil filters. My best friend his 107 M8 its not exactly quiet. I could hear his engine noise riding beside him pulling hills I thought something was very wrong. I know he changed to a different oil after the dealer said that noise was "normal". I know he chose 5w40 Rotella full synthetic diesel engine oil that is expensive. He also runs Startron Fuel treatment in his gasoline to fight the ethanol issues. He said that it is better and he likes the oil analysis results with the other oil over the oil/filter he was purchasing from the dealership. I don't hear him rattling away like he was before. Not exactly sure if that is the correct remedy yet it works very well for him. Try the recommend amount of Marvel Mystery oil in your gasoline when you fill up and see if you notice any improvements it cant hurt. I run it in the gasoline of all my engines from day one and it is not aggressive or corrosive. I have never ever had issues with carbon buildup in an engine that I have used it in the fuel plus it's cheap.
