When you first start the bike after is it normal for the compensator area to tick for a little say 30 seconds to a minute?
@HarleyDavidsonWizard3 күн бұрын
I wouldn't say so. But there are a lot of normal noises in that area. If you're sure, the compensator nut is tight. I'd say check the chain tension again.

Brad, thank you so much for the video! I just took the trans top cover off (2015 Road KIng) and looking down in there, it seems like the spring is kinda tweaked like the one you removed. I wonder if I could take a screwdriver and nudge it back to where it is supposed to go My main symptom is moving the shifter forward to allow me to shift up into third (mainly) and 4-6 sometimes. I assume it's just gonna get worse. My indy shop says he has to take out the whole tranny. Your way seems doable even for me. Anyway, it was really educational. Seems like a good winter project

After you've removed the long jackshaft screw the rest of the jack shaft assembly will pull out of the primary. Wiggle it a little. After the jacket shaft assembly is removed, then remove the 2 bolts that secure the starter to the back of the primary. You can leave it sitting on top of the transmission, it doesn't need to be fully removed.

@marksullivan4180Ай бұрын
First off. Great video! For removal of jack shaft oil seal you use a 5/8 socket. I have an 03 TC88. 5/8 is too big. What would be the correct size? Also. It looks like someone used a green adhesive to hold the old one in? Should I apply heat or some kind of solvent before? Thanks.
@HarleyDavidsonWizardАй бұрын
Maybe the outside diameter of your 5/8 socket is larger than mine, just use the largest socket that'll fit through the primary bore. As for the green material... so the original oil seal harley davidson used had the green type of sealant on it. It was manufactured allready applied to the seal. If your using a new rubber seal like the one I'm using in the video, no green stuff or sealer is necessary as the new seal is updated and has rubber as the sealer.
@marksullivan4180Ай бұрын

Sorry to bother you again, on a 2007 softail some say you need to loosen the 2 bolts from the starter to remove the inner primary. Then pull the starter back. And than remove the innerprimary. On a softail its a hard job because the oiltank is in the way for remove the bolt. So is it nessesary to remove the bolts? Isnt it possible to take the innerprimary of witht the starter in place? Can you or somone else tell me that ?
@HarleyDavidsonWizardАй бұрын
On a 2007 softail to remove the inner primary you will need to remove the 2 starter bolts and "dislodge" the starter from the primary, to remove the inner primary. I use a long 1/4 ball allen and can get in and remove the starter bolts, sometimes you have to removethe exhaust system. I back the starter bolts out of the primary but leave them dangling in the starter then you walk over to the primary side of the bike and firmly push on the starter gear (the starter has a firm oring that will keep it in the primary) so you push on the starter and it will move like 1/2 inch and the primary can be fully removed. During re-installation of the primary. Sometimes, it's easier to remove the battery, and you can get a couple fingers on the starter and wiggle it back into place in the primary before retightning the bolts.
@donaldduck2801Ай бұрын
@@HarleyDavidsonWizard Thank you for your reply, now for me I understand that the bolts are connected to the primary . So now I understand why to remove them. I also understand that the oiltank doesent need to be removed. As a technician amunition sinds 1980 ( dutch army )I have a golden rule :" I you dont know exactley whatyou are doing dot touch it ". Mij fatboy lo 2011 ( compensator model 2007 ) I let do the job by an qualified technician , but I like the technical aspect and I want to understand it.

Hey Brad, first off, I just want to say thank you very much for sharing your content I no longer have to pay thousands of dollars that I don’t have for someone to not fix my bike but my 2006 Harley Davidson Electra glide just like the one that you did the primary inner seal on it’s been going through clutches I’m just wondering if there’s anything that might be causing that or if I’m just not adjusting them properly I mean I’m pretty sure I’m adjusting them properly. It’s not rocket science but seems like this last set of Barnett clutches just went out faster than they should have. Let me know if I’m gonna spend 150 on the side of Barnett and 50 on the side Amazon ones and they both last the same amount of time I guess it’s really no comparison by why ???if you have I sure would appreciate it if you could share your thoughts on the situation, anything that might be causing my clutches to wear faster than normal first two years I had the bike. I never put clutches in it that I changed them one time and then now I got to change them every three months.
