@@kevincooper2593 it's lighter than even the PM3! Good choice.

1 min of explaining lol

You could be talking about lugging the motor. If you are, then no FP3 won't help with this. You just need to run a slightly higher RPM and it will smooth out. Personally, I love the sound of running the bike at a very low RPM but I can't for the same reason.

@@TheJourneyKZbin Not lugging because it is in first gear, have had six harlleys

@@TheJourneyKZbin EPA?

I still use it every day. It's showing normal use and wear but no signs of fraying, cracking, or breaking. Still love it.

@@TheJourneyKZbin nice!! That's 3 years of use then, good to hear. Just ordered mine, thanks for the info boss

Good luck!

It depends on who you ask but the general rule of thumb that I've heard is if you only do a slip on exhaust, you don't need to tune it but if you do an air intake or a full exhaust, you should also do a tuner. People have different opinions that maybe you need a tuner even for slip ons and other people say that you can get away with installing a full exhaust and no tuner as long as you don't do an air cleaner... The safest thing is to get a tuner no matter what. Doing the exhaust, an air cleaner and tuner is the only way to see much of a performance gain anyways. Good luck.

The online class that I did was 5 hours. It's possible that it's how it was being done during Covid. I still had the two days of on site testing though.

@TheJourneyKZbin yes sir. I'm taking mine may 25th and 26th. I'm just nervous on the testing more than the actual driving.

Alaska is a 5hour written ecourse and 2 day msf course thay cost $395 each person with 12 student seats

It's just like buying the right size shoe... The right height bar has to do with how tall you are, how long your arms are etc. plus you'll have an aesthetic preference too. Look up one of my videos about measuring for bar height. The general rule of thumb is to keep your arms below your heart. A lot of laws actually make it illegal to have bars that have your hands higher than parallel. Good luck.

@@TheJourneyKZbin thank you for your advice, I am a tall guy. I am 166cm so 12 inches would be good enough I believe. I ordered for 10 inches but that looks really short and because of my back is not straight with the standard bar which comes with iron883. I guess I ll be good to get 12 inches handlebar

The other thing to consider is that there is no standard for how manufacturers measure their bars. For instance, I believe the Harley Chiseled bars are advertised as 10" but measure more like an 8" from other companies. I'm only 5'9" and my 12" bars are pretty much at the legal (and comfort) limit for me. You can always get a thinner seat which will make the bars feel higher too.

So sorry I meant I am not that tall, I am 5’7. In this case if you are happy and comfortable with 12 inches handlebar then I will order that. 14 inches for my height would be too big

Honestly I bought the Harley Davidson Genuine+ Transmission and Primary lube and I just looked... wouldn't you know it, they don't put the weight/ spec on the bottle. It doesn't seem as thick as 90wt but doesn't smell like regular oil either. I've used ATF for some other bikes, but this also doesn't smell like ATF. Sorry I could be more helpful.

Haha this is my favorite comment. "Pure meat n taters video."

You're welcome! Ride safe.

The height is good for me. It isn't tiring at all for me. I have a quick video about measuring for proper handlebar height. It isn't perfect but it might be helpful for you. Also, it took about 6-7 hours for the install including filming the video. 2 hours of that was probably just for the internal wiring.

Thank you very much! Keep up the good work!

Almost everything in the video should be in first gear with the exception of things like the quick turn etc. Which I just had in second. I wouldn't be too hung up on gear selection since you'll get a feel for when you need to go faster and the bike will be revving too high. Then you just grab the next gear. Good luck.

During one of our drills, we had to go into 2nd gear for a certain portion of it. Our instructors were very clear about when we should be in second and for how much of that drill. Otherwise everything else was all pretty much just putting around in 1st gear. If you haven't taken the course yet, don't stress at all. We had 3 our of 8 people in our class that had never been on a bike before. They all passed.

@@weatherwatchTX I did first gear all the way lol

Honestly the 883 doesn't need a much larger intake unless you build the motor to a 1200 or larger. You don't gain THAT much from a stage 1. My general recommendation is the arless ness big sucker because it's a brand name air intake with a rechargeable filter and it's pretty cheap. You can get pretty much any air cleaner but most cost more.

@@TheJourneyKZbin Thanks for replying...Definitely I will check that one up..thanks.

Thank you!

Come to think of it, I don't think that I have... I think that I was in a rush the first time I used it, packed it away, thought of it from time to time and then honestly forgot. Having said that, I've been through several rain storms and it's never leaked a drop?! So my guess is that they either seam seal from the factory or it isn't required with this tarp... I don't know that definitively though.

Todd's Cycle 12" Strip Bars

There's no manual choke on this bike because it's fuel injected.

@@TheJourneyKZbin ok. I got engine cut off and fuel supply valve confused. Some newer bikes do not have fuel supply valves.

@@TheJourneyKZbin I got lots to learn. Fuel injection etc.

@@janeprescott980 no worries. Learning this stuff is half the fun.

Awesome! 🤘

Our instructor allowed questions, even during the test and I think everyone passed in my class. Hopefully yours would do the same. Basically, they explained that the class was designed to teach people how to be safe, not to sort out those who can pass a test. So, you had to pass but they did everything to help you pass. It could be the help that saves your life instead of getting a question wrong and never knowing the right answer! Good luck.

@@TheJourneyKZbin thank you I’m coming home on military leave and while I’m home I’m gonna take the riding part I already did the online part and apparently that was the written test and I passed and I didn’t even know it Thank you for your videos they were a great help 👍

@@josepholiver6733 good luck and thank you for your service! I'm glad the video helped.

I'm glad you found it valuable. Thanks for watching!

If you are on the stand, you will lose some fluid once you remove the primary cover and will need to add some again to get it to the proper level. If you don't lose any, you were probably running too low.
