Great demonstration mate on the oil change. Love the part where you use the wife's baking tray haha

[@thatharleycouple]

Shhhhhh, not so loud she might hear you. 😂

[@aaronkeller488]

Great vid Whitey. Nice, clear & easy. I guess you can tell Lisa that you have oiled / greased the pan ready for baking lol

[@thatharleycouple]

Little bit of WD40, a quick spray and she’s none the wiser mate. 😂

[@pb68slab18]

I like to take my time working on my bikes. Hopefully, after 40yrs of working on my own Harleys, I can still make an oil change last an hour or more.

[@thatharleycouple]

Hey thanks for watching. This video is only 5 mins of demo and info, but doesn’t suggest it can be done in anywhere near that time frame. I agree with you, it’s a good 45 mins to an hour job if you take your time. 👍🏻

[@pb68slab18]

Someone once said that riding a Harley is the next best thing to sex. Well, then working on yer own Harley is foreplay!@@thatharleycouple

[@thatharleycouple]

In that case I’ve almost had sex numerous times this week. 😂

[@garszy]

Cheers Team!

[@thatharleycouple]

Thanks for watching again Garzy appreciate the support

[@hilux1983]

Thanks for the lesson. I've always purchased the "service plan" and have not serviced my bikes myself. I've gotten lazy in my older years. Time has caught up with me. Life is too busy to take her to the dealership. I'd rather work on my own stuff anyhow. Thanks for your video and tips. I have one question though. I noticed that you did all the work on the floor and on the stand while the bike is at an angle. I assume that the angle doesn't bother the amount of fluids that go in or come out matter much?

[@Peteslife]

I hate working on the ground.. thats why I built my own air bag lift table.. its paid for itself as it has been extremely handy. Bike has been on and off it many times doing the drive belt fork seals and many tyre changes.. I will video it one day.. haha

[@thatharleycouple]

Sounds interesting Pete, you should do a video on building the table.

[@jonaqua8850]

Nice vid Whitey, not much to it. cheers 👌🏻

[@thatharleycouple]

100% Jon, its easy. Don't understand why anyone would pay someone to do it for them.

[@larry68hd11]

Thanks

[@thatharleycouple]

Thanks for watching Larry, we all appreciate it. 👍

[@johnmacias01]

Nice vid bruh! Thanks

[@thatharleycouple]

Thanks John, just a quick one that strips away the drama and just shows how easy it is to change your own oil. Glad you enjoyed it. Whitey 👍

[@BrizBiker]

Nice one whitey 👌

[@thatharleycouple]

Cheers Briz. 👍

[@Bobolife_76]

Nice vid, cheers. I have decided to do both my Fatboys myself as I’m sick of cleaning up the dealerships mess after a service. I also want to go synthetic but haven’t decided which brand to go with🤔I have 2 2021 Fatboys (one is the wife’s)

[@thatharleycouple]

Hey that’s great to hear. I have a full set of notes for servicing my 2012 Fatboy, if you like just shoot me your email and I will happily share them with you. Includes tool and supplies list, notes and lots more. 👍

[@Bobolife_76]

@@thatharleycouple hey thanks for the offer. I think I’m all ready to go now, I just got a full bike lift and all tools so I’m keen to start my own maintenance.

[@thatharleycouple]

Now I am jealous, would love a bike lift.

Cheers Marco 👍

[@bigdawgqc]

Take derby cover off before draining the primary!

[@thatharleycouple]

Interested to know why you recommend this? Having already removed the dip stick there is plenty of air flow. Thanks for watching 👍

[@bigdawgqc]

Because I’ve seen numerous occasions where people drained it and then stripped the bolts on the primary cover and then can’t get it off & they can’t refill it!

[@thatharleycouple]

@bigdawgqc Ahhh I was wondering about your reasoning. Very good point, definitely worth at the least loosening them. Wow, after 40 plus years on bikes still learning thinks like this. Cheers

[@bigblue3568]

How many Harley oil change videos can KZbin have before the site crashes...

[@thatharleycouple]

Clearly as you watched this one there’s still room for more! 😊

[@f.t.w1066]

Sick 🤒

[@thatharleycouple]

Fully! 😂 Thanks for watching.

[@nadewitt-yf6ng]

I guess if you know how to do it, it's simple.

[@thatharleycouple]

Trust me its simple, give it a go, take your time and you’ll be surprised how easy it is. Thanks for watching 👍

[@nadewitt-yf6ng]

​@thatharleycouple I'm a mechanic, and I know it's not hard but I was talking about a untrained individual.

[@Peteslife]

I don’t understand the theory of filling up the filter with oil when installing a new one.. Not picking on you heaps of people do it. I just don’t understand why? I have been changing engine oils for decades and don’t do it.

[@thatharleycouple]

Just something I was taught as a young fella. I presume its all about having some oil in the filter to speed up getting the new oil to the engine rather that running dry even for a small amount of time.

[@marknewbill]

I actually had a bike "vapor lock" because of a pre filled filter and never would achieve oil pressure. never any issues with dry filters. had to loosen the filter to get the oil flowing. so no, i dont pre fill any more.
