I always learn something new, a spatula to recicle every single drop of oil, briliant 😀

[@renzovc]

Great video brother ! Good advice on maintenance and couldn't agreed more 👍 now it makes sense why you need to do fluids change on a brand new bike ! Keep up the great work brother! Stay safe guys cheers from New York !!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Moonfleet41]

Sure thing Renzo, every machine needs time to bed in and settle down, and all of the detritus from that process must be washed out and removed! Have a great weekend both, keep safe there!

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

I have really enjoyed this mini series Del. I have my Sport Glide booked in with a dealership for the 5,000 service as its still under warranty but after that Im in👍

[@Moonfleet41]

That's great news mate, it's a simple service, just basically an oil change and safety check and great to hear you'll be taking over from now on!

[@slon4753]

Could be perfect if you said how much oil did you used.

[@Moonfleet41]

One quart bottle will be plenty.. !

[@daddywarbucks8429]

Ok but how much oil did you ad..

[@wobblysauce]

Also it is about knowing your vehicle, when you do check the items you know when things change, it doesn’t mean you need to do all the things and you can take it to another for the big stuff.

[@jimcroft9891]

Just fantastic, del. i have been thinking of getting an older Harley Davidson so this little series has been giving some tips and ideas on maintenance, Thank you.

[@Moonfleet41]

That's great news! Good luck with your search, if you're going to buy a 1450 twin cam, then do make sure it's had cam chain tensioners seen to and any other of their traditional problems... let us know how you get on!

[@MintyGusto]

Crackin video as always mate! You always make it look so easy 😉 Hope you have a cracking weekend and enjoy some sunny weather!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed it, have a great weekend yourself, and stay safe!

Good common sense money saving video as usual Del ! Have a great weekend and ride safe mate !

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Great video, Del. Great Harley. Your idea with the spatula - never thought about it before. A simple, fast and clean method. Thanks for sharing, Günter/Nürnberg

[@Moonfleet41]

Good to hear from you Günter. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@vazza7504]

Never been in to Harley's but since watching your recent videos they now appeal to me, looking after them seems a lot easier, without all the fairings in the way. :-) as always Del, Top video. Learnt lots from watching your vids. Thanks, Vinny. 😊

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Vinny, the older ones are easier to care for, that's for sure... there aren't many jobs that a home mechanic couldn't do! Have a great weekend mate.

[@rickrogers2649]

It's nice that basic HD maintenance transfers across so many years and models. For a quick and easy way to start a riot just go to any HD forum and ask what to use in your bikes primary.😅 Thanks Del and Penny for the very useful basic maintenance videos you post. The best video shop manuals anywhere. Blessings and safe riding my friends.❤👍👍

[@Moonfleet41]

You're so right buddy, that is one question that will guarantee a proper kick off! I love the advice written in the manual that in the absence of any genuine H-D oil, use oil rated for diesel engines... believe it or not, that's absolutely true, bless Harleys aye? Have a great weekend and take care!

[@ordinaryman1904]

@@Moonfleet41Chevron Delo is the only motor oil I use. And by the way, I use Type F automatic transmission fluid in my primary.

[@spokedtoosoon]

Hi Del! I just came onto this video because my new 2012 Dyna has just totally stumped me - It's not got an inspection hole for the chain tensioner, and the service schedule just says to change primary fluid and adjust the clutch. Is it no longer necessary to routinely check the tensioner? I'd rather be safe than sorry! Hope you and Pen are doing well, soon be good riding weather! See you out there, Mike.

[@Moonfleet41]

Yes MIke, that's right, the 96" motors had an auto adjuster, so simpler to service, like is says, just do the clutch and change the oil.. Yeah, riding days getting nicer, and really looking forward to getting out more. ! Taker care ane enjoy your weekend mate. D&Px

[@tinks43]

And peace of mind she’s now a happy motor 👍🏻 enjoy the weekend 😎

Thanks Del. Do I spot a new watch? I like the green on the face and clean layout, what make/model is it? I'm on the hunt for a new one myself!

nice work del and penny spot on

[@lucasfoy6802]

Sorry mate, one more Q, I checked the primary in my dyna a few days ago, now one of the screws is weeping, not sure if I tightened it enouggh, but I didnt torque it.. Is the tool you're using to put the derby screws in, some sort of torqued screwdriver? Could you link it please

[@Moonfleet41]

Certainly, this is the Torque driver i used, accurtae from 5Nm to 14Nm. ! www.spanner-monkey.co.uk/Wiha-Torque-T-Handle-ST-Plus-TorqueVario-Set-29234?search=torque%20vario&description=true

[@haroldwiser2641]

Enjoyed the video! One quick question: if I want to move the clutch engagement point further from the grip do I back off the adjustment screw more than half a turn? Thanks and have a great weekend!

[@Moonfleet41]

Did you post this twice Harold, we did answer about 4hrs ago... let us know!

[@scottwilliamsakacowboy4691]

Hi Dell great video i have a softail custom but someone put a hydraulic clutch lever on it so how do i release the clutch lever before attempting to do the clutch plates thanks in advance

[@Moonfleet41]

What year is your bike that it has a hydraulic clutch..?

[@scottwilliamsakacowboy4691]

@@Moonfleet41 its a 2007 custom 6 speed

[@Moonfleet41]

@@scottwilliamsakacowboy4691I asked what year the bike is because hydraulic clutches are now mounted on the new touring bikes and the whole system is self-adjusting so nothing to do... but as yours is an 07, if you have a hydraulic clutch set up, then it'll be retro fit aftermarket and I've not seen one on a bike I've worked on, so I wouldn't know how to address that I'm afraid.

[@scottwilliamsakacowboy4691]

@Moonfleet41 ok thanks for that....If you have to disconnect the clutch cable I suppose I'll have to take the slave off then adjust the plates then put it all back together thanks anyway keep up the good work thanks again

[@John-cc1pc]

I have a metal cotton type air filter very similar to the one in the video. I bought some air filter oil but on putting my glasses on it says that it’s for foam air filters. I can’t find any info on the net ref differences in oils for foam and mesh type filters. This Liquid Moly foam filter oil surgests bathing the foam in the oil. Can I just run some over the top of the pleated as you did on the video? Or is it fundamentally a different oil? Thank you in advance. 👍🤜

[@Moonfleet41]

I truly don't think it's much different, as long as it's a light machine oil, then it will certainly be better than no oil at all..!

[@Wanderin_Rider]

Have you got any utensils left in the kitchen ! 😄 They are incredibly useful ‘tools’.

[@vaughanboyce3702]

Master Class as always delboy, I've got a xr1200 and your maintenance tutorials have been great.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy, the service series I did on an XR12 were some of our very earliest videos, right back at the beginning, glad you've found them helpful!

[@lucasfoy6802]

Hi mate, love the videos thank you. Quick one, what ramp is this please? I have an FXDL I struggle to get on a ramp, I'm more comfortable riding on, but find that I dont have a lot of space to put my feet down where as your ramp is really wide and ideal :)

[@Moonfleet41]

I understand what you mean, i got the side addition plates for mine for the same reason, you can put the bike on the side stand, and your feet down on confidence..

Is it me, or at around 6.32 does the clutch perch housing bend a lot - is it worth checking that for any cracks etc - it shouldnt bend like that

No, the bottom part of the bracket is broken off and only held by the pivot pin... i spotted it later and have no replaced it.!

[@haroldwiser2641]

Even though it's basic stuff I still enjoy the videos! Quick question, if I may: if I wanted to move the clutch engagement point away from the handlebar do you go more than half a turn on the adjustment screw? Thanks Del, you and Penny have a great weekend!

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Harold, altering the clutch pack freeplay does nothing for the bite point mate, that's pretty much fixed, as the clutch plates wear thinner it will change, but one thing you can do that will make a big difference is fit slim grips as the factory does... fat custom grips move the grip out to meet the lever so with thinner grips, you pull it in further, meaning the bite point is further away from the grip... you can buy them from Hogparts, just basic rubber slim grips, I'll be doing a fitting video shortly on this bike, plus there's already a fitting video on a Sportster in the playlist... hope that helps you Harold, have a great weekend!

[@DonHutchins]

Thanks for sharing Del. Curious question, why not use Hylomar Blue on that drain plug? I think I've seen you do that in years past, but not so much recently. I mean sure it's not a gasket, but it'll work on threads too. What do you think?

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Don... These primary plugs are strange.. they don't actually seat like a regular bolt.. they're actually tapered and you screw them in with about the force of a crosshead screw... Hylomar works best if you can seat the thread nice and tight.. but for these it'd be almost impossible.. Using a PTFE tape is the prescribed method with these !

[@DonHutchins]

@@Moonfleet41 ah ok gotcha, makes sense. Thanks Del

He Penny and Del - great video! All three oil changes done - awesome. Looks like you found a good 'un there! Looking forward to whatever you post next! Take care, my friends - be well and ride safe.

[@myz06rocks]

Between valve checks/adjustments, oil and lube jobs and of course all the repairs, including one track day spill I’d say I’ve saved no less than $10,000 over the last 3-4 years if not more. So echo the sentiment, get wrenching!

[@Moonfleet41]

Makes great sense when you put it like that, that is literally the cost of a bike right there!

[@loddude5706]

Nice looking & sedate sounding bike, wearing sensible shoes. A Gentleman's carriage. (Twin plugs, dual EGT, lots of fresh Avgas & a tub full of jets . . . "Bring on the noise!") Lets hope it continues to lead a quiet life, mercifully free from the ravages of adrenaline. ("No, you can't have a new blower . . . in fact . . . they still need paying for that one!")
