The O-ring is the seal. I would caution against adding thread sealer as it could compromise the O-ring. I would not use thread tape anywhere a piece of tape would plug small passages. Removing a taped plug can leave small shreds behind in the drain hole that could get into the crankcase and get stuck in a small passageway. Always great content thanks for taking the time to share your wisdoms and experience

I question the logic of using an o--ring instead of a crush washer? But having said that, if using the oring, never use addional sealants of any kind.

I just wanted to say that your videos are awsome. I have a 2018 street glide and just did a 3 hole change. I took you advice from a previous video and switch to all Amsoil. The bike runs SO MUCH SMOOTHER! It obvious how much better it is. Smoother gear changed, less engine noise, and even though I cannot explain why, but runs lower RPMs at higher speeds then it previously did. Keep on with the videos please. Thank you so much!

one quick piece of info Del... technically if you're going to pre-fill your filters, you should fill them through the outside ring of circles. Filling it through the middle actually bypasses the filter media before the oil enters the engine :) Not a massive risk but why take chances.

Some good tips there Del, watched a vid by muddy sump before I did my first oil & filter change on my Tiger and he used the box the filter came in to catch the oil the same way as your sheet of plastic, saved me some mess. As for over the filter being over tight that happened to me and I had to drill holes through the filter wrench and use self tappers to secure it before I could get it off. Got that tip from a TMF video... KZbin is a mine of information to get you out of the sh#t... Lovely Street Glide by the way 👍

Great Video with info I needed, Thank You! I always like to change break-in oil early and will turn my first 100 miles on my new Street Glide today so that factory oil is coming out! My old torque wrench is unreliable so I need to pick a new one up. I always used the liquid white Teflon in a tube on my EVO Primary, guess I'll continue to use that for the oil drain plug on my new M8? I hope I have enough room to use the small oil filter wrench I used the last 25 years on my old EVO Softail. The new M8 looks to be a bit harder to get to...
@Moonfleet41
@Moonfleet41 9 ай бұрын
If I may be so bold and suggest respectfully that you leave the break in oil in your engine until the end of the break in period... t his is very important for machined surfaces inside the motor to safely wear in to each other and bed in properly... modern high performance oils won't allow this to happen and your engine will not perform as well in the future. Your break in oil is not just there as a cheap solution, it's there for a mechanical purpose and should be allowed to do it's job... you're actually doing your bike a favour by changing it at the correct mileage and no sooner.. even though this is a little counter intuitive, it's the correct way to do it... Good luck with your new bike mate, it's wonderful to hear that you're taking such good care of it!

Hey Del and Penny. As I’ve mentioned is this series and I think it’s true in most of the DYI projects to maintain your bike that your have provided us in the past… great, simple, easy to follow instruction to help us understand our bikes and to save some money doing the wrenching ourselves. One of the habits I have gotten into is every second oil change I let the dealer do it, because I thought they were looking the bike over and making sure the critical fasteners, brakes, tires and all the small items that could kill me were being looked at by “trained professionals”! Well it turns out, the last time I was in for this service I was talking to the service writer and I asked about all the details that I thought they were performing… they weren’t, only changing the oil. I said “well I can do that, why would I bring it in for you to do it?” My question, could you do a quick video outlining all the critical fasteners? Or if you have one maybe I should go back and find it!? I think it might be beneficial to get myself that shop manual that you have recommended for the many years I have been watching. I actually took your advice 7 years ago when I had my VRod and I bought a sportster for my girlfriend. I had shop manuals for each after watching your video on adjusting a sportster clutch cable. I think you shot that video inside your house!!! Many changes since then!!! I would also like a lift table… at 48yrs old,!crawling under a motorcycle is getting tougher each day! Haha Thanks again for all your hard work… if we lived close, we’d be mates! Pete 🇨🇦
@Moonfleet41
@Moonfleet41 2 жыл бұрын
We would be mates indeed Pete, kindred spirits i think ! With the critical fasteners, if you look in your service manual the procedure is actually detailed in there step by step, every fastener, the torque range required and even the required technique for some that must be loosened and then re-torqued ! every bike has a different set of requirements and that's why a video would always be only of use to that specific bike... ive never made a video of it, but it's so easy once you have the tools and the manual, anyone could do it at home.! as for the other fundamentals, such as brakes, tyres and other small items, you can still do those yourself, just make a list, and tick them off one job at a time on a regular basis.. Take care and enjoy your weekend.. D&Px

omg, couldn't harley find a stupider place to put the filter??? Sure, I've had to drape a cloth somewhere, or wrap a bit of tin foil on a header (in case of the occasional drip) while spinning off a filter, but this??? Like seriously, I've worked on dozens of bikes and not encountered THAT level of idiocy. Can you imagine how many people just didn't have anything handy to stick in there to catch the spill?? I hate harleys. We all grow up thinking that they're great bikes, until you learn about them... Anyhow, good job Delboy; you make great videos

It's still on the water but should be here in the next two weeks. Miss having access to hylomar in Sweden and still looking for a suitable alternative. I was surprised how shredded the O ring was.

Some used examples from last year were more expensive than a new one. I assume because of upgraded pipes, air filter etc. Not had a new bike since I was 17. I'm 58 now so long overdue. To be honest the 1200 Sportster was pretty damn quick even two up so I'm super excited with what should be a colossal torque gain. Will let you know for sure. Have a brill weekend you two.

I can't find torque settings to reinstall this and is there anything special I should know when doing so?

I'm assuming the manual doesn't advise Amsoil, I'm sure it advises Forumla+ etc., in my view, as much as you can use 20W50 in all three holes, and it's perfectly adequate, there's still a better option... I'm sure you'll agree that adequate doesn't mean best... A dedicated gear oil for the transmission will make it run quieter with smoother gear changes... otherwise it's perfectly fine for engine and primary. However, if you're more comfortable following the manual, then that won't be wrong.

I bought amsoil engine oil change kit, this is what's weird, I drained the oil I put 4 quarts in, started then checked and it was good. I went and put the old oil back in the empty containers and only ha 3 full qts and the 4th one probably about 1/8 in it I get home oil is high so I removed some... so basically I put 4 in but only 3 came out I'm confused

I just bought my bike 2mo ago with 5,400 on it. Now I have 8,500 for the 3,000 mile service. I changed all oils at the beginning, my question is, do I only need to change the engine oil or all oils again? I do not have handbook / service manual.

@Moonfleet41 10 ай бұрын
OK, first thing you should do my friend is check in your handbook which will have been supplied with the bike and read up on your service schedule... Milwaukee 8 engines need a little less servicing than twin cams, I believe it's 5k engine oil, 10k primary and 20k transmission... but the primary oil gets dirty with clutch plate material very quickly, so for the sake of a litre of fluid, why not change it... and as for gearbox oil, that's also a litre, so why not change it for what little it costs.

Like the tip with the cellophane and the tape on the filter! I’m in a dilemma with my current bike, it has full main dealer history from the same dealer, which is local, Now do I keep that service history up or just do it myself and write what it’s had in the book, just can’t decide what to do!
@Moonfleet41
@Moonfleet41 2 жыл бұрын
The questions to ask yourself Andy, are can you do a competent job of it that is safe and adequate?, How much money will you save in doing it yourself?, and do you have that money to burn? and does a dealer stamped service history make any difference to the price they'll offer you when you come to trade it in..? (best way to test that.. ask them next time you're there, how much would i get in P/X....don't mention service history... once they say a price.. mention it has full service history "by the way", and see if they'll then increase the offer..!! from that conversation you can determine whether paying them to service your bike is a sound investment in it's future value or not..! Hope that helps mate. !

@@Moonfleet41 I never thought of doing that! When I sit back and think with the bits I have done so far out of boredom (spark plugs, K&N filter, new braided hoses, new tyres and a new gold chain with black sprocket) I think all I am short is the oil and filter and go around and check the bearings and check all the bolts for tightness and it’s more than done!

@Moonfleet41
@Moonfleet41 Жыл бұрын
Hi there, I can't comment on that as I haven't heard of this yet (but that's not to say it isn't true, I just don't keep up with factory bulletins etc.), perhaps the best place to check is with your Harley dealer and ask for a written copy of the bulletin which should contain further information as to 'why' they are electing to prohibit it's use, not just the word of a member of staff at the counter as there is always a lot of hearsay and misinterpretation with Harley... I had an XR1200 fuel tank swell up and expand with the ethanol issue, and two dealerships denied any knowledge of it!... yet others were saying it was going to be a recall... get it in writing then you know it's true, and why!
