Hey Rocco, I haven't heard your type of New York accent in over 30 years! It's refreshing to hear it after such a long time. I'm not a native of New York, nor, a transplant. It's comforting to hear it again.🤓😁⭐⭐⭐ Doug

[@tommylitchfield3450]

That's a good tip with burping the air out of the drain line. I will definitely be doing that on my next oil change. One thing that I like to do, especially with that high dollar synthetic is to put the cap on the bottle after pouring the oil into the oil tank and stand them all up on the cap of the oil bottle. You will get a good bit of oil that drains down to the cap on all 4 bottles when you do an oil and transmission fluid change if you use 20w50. I end up with a good bit of oil that I pour back into the partially used bottle. Thanks again for the tips, Rocco!

Hello Rocco I’m so glad i found your page. You explain things really well and I can tell you love what you do. Let me get to the question and I usually don’t do this but I gota ask you cause you’re the man! I have a 2012 Nightstand 1200Cc and I did 2 oil changes so far and the were both almost disasters. 1st oil change I didn’t properly tighten the oil cap and it shot 10ft in the air 3x until I went on KZbin and closed it correctly. 2nd oil change I drained the oil on a very cold bike and then put 2 qts and started the bike for a check and the oil started leaking from the oil cap side to even the battery side. Big mess again. I’m gona follow your way to do it now. Thanks a lot

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to help. Everything is a learning curve, Make sure your motorcycle is warmed up. Any questions just ask. I think this time you should have no problems. Watch the video and you walk right through it. Thank you for all your support Danny. Ride safe and have a great day. Stay warm.

[@MrDannyDanish]

@ You’re a good man Rocco, you helped me a lot. Today I went to AutoZone and bought 1qt of Mobil 1 75W-90 gear lube, and 3 qts of Mobil 1 20W-50 V-Twin Synthetic oil. They didn’t have a K&N-170 oil filter ( I left my previous filter ) I got back to my garage and like you said warmed the bike up and then I did the oil change and primary gear oil change. It was almost perfect. I even saw the AIR come out by letting the new oil drain for a few seconds. Rocco gd bless you and thank you Sincerely Daniel From Kings Highway Brooklyn NY

[@wolvowarrior9159]

Hey Rocco, it says in the manual that oil level check should be done when the bike is on the kickstand after running for ten minutes to get up to temperature, otherwise you won't have a true reading.

I bought a 2022 Forty-Eight few weeks ago and just turned 1,000 miles. My 24th motorcycle, yeah I know, I’m a blessed man. The dealer told me to always check the oil after it’s been ridden and the oil is warm and “always” check it while the bike is on it’s side stand. I haven’t checked the manual yet to see exactly what the amount of oil it states.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to help. I like halfway on the oil dipstick. I find that way you will not have a lot of oil on the air filter. I do not like to oil my K&N air filter with there oil. I find the bike runs better with a clean air filter. Let us know what you think and how she runs. Good luck with the new ride thank you for watching and your sub Jerry. 48 are great bikes.

Hey Roc, on my 1995 1200 Sportser do I check oil level with bike on kick stand or straight up & down? I usually add 2.8 qts. With new filter. Thanks!

[@TwoWheelRocco]

straight up & down.

[@bigblue3568]

On the Jiffy stand aka kick stand per the owners manual. 2.8 qts is the correct capacity but in reality a couple of ounces will remain in the engine after complete drain. Perform a HOT engine oil check which is taken at operating temp so take it for a ride not a simply start up and idle for a minute then check.

[@donniemcsparen1540]

Great video. My question to you is - do you ever take your derby cover off to drain the oil from there?

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to help. The only time you remove that derby cover is on your transmission and Primary oil change on a sportster, you have your engine oil which is the 20/50 on the left side is your primary oil which feeds your transmission and your primary and Clutch. so when you do the Primary oil change then you remove that cover unless you have an inspection window on the primary side, just remove the fluid through the plug at the bottom and put the fluid in through that inspection window if there is one. Any questions just ask. Thank you for all your support Don. Drive safe and have a great day. Hope this helped. Take a look at this video doing the primary oil change, kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ6mfpKqjd2WZ8Usi=bmlWOnJmeifSsp49

[@mikebigeasyrider]

So Rocco, what does the manual say for quantity of oil to replace when changing ? Seems like correct amount would be like you do....half way up the stick.Thanks, excellent video's......

[@TwoWheelRocco]

3 quarts with a new filter. is where I start. Always oil in system. To many time I see people over fill and cause them self lots of problems. Thank you for your support.

[@mikebigeasyrider]

Agree, had a friend overfill, filled up the air filter box with oil......

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Yes

[@rebelrobz]

what is that oil drain hose at the bottom of the engine that is just hanging there? It does not have a plug and I noticed my 48 is dripping a few drops per night. Got maybe 10 miles on it. HD said it was normal...

[@rebelrobz]

The hose I mentioned runs from the bottom of the gas tank and down side of the bike and hangs underneath engine. Drips oil??

[@TwoWheelRocco]

That is your gas tank vent hose. That will clear up as you put miles on your bike. Let us know how that works out. Thank you for your Sub. Good Luck with your new Ride. Ride Safe and have a great day. Love AC/DC

[@mikebigeasyrider]

I assume once you (twist) lock the oil filler cap, just pushing down is only for cap to lock down ?

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Yes That is the way it works. Ride Safe and have a great day.

[@mikebigeasyrider]

Rocco, was looking at your video again, question, when reading dipstick for level you are not to push dipstick all the way down as in the in the riding position, is that correct ?

Rocco. I got the bike running! I rode for about 10minutes around the neighborhood before a loud pop at the tail pipe and then at the carb. It seems like the oil may not be circulating correctly? And now I’m back to it not wanting to start...any ideas?

Sounds like to much oil in your bike. How long did this bike sit before you did this oil change? Clean plugs and air filter. Remove oil to little more then 1/2 on oil stick. Let us know how this works out.

[@ec9156]

@@TwoWheelRocco Manual & air pocket oil tube purge. When you put the oil cap on, there is tons of air in the system, I wonder where that air goes? Starting a bike with only 2 qts. and knowing it takes 3qts. since .6 qts. remain in the engine I guess (3.6 capacity), very interesting. Check on side stand as well, while hot. Your instructions are very easy to understand, thank you.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

I agree. But it does state this in the manual to purge the bottom line. They state air pocket to go through that oil pump. But I agree with you. Harley Davidson just making it difficult. So you won't do the work. But it is easy to prime the air out of the bottom of the hose. Do I think it's needed, no. Thank you for watching and your sub E C. Ride safe and have a great day. The air pocket in the line is at the bottom that's where your feeds lines go to your oil pump. The top air will never get in the system. These are dry sump motors there's no oil in the bottom of your motor like your car. So they do have a point that if that air pocket got to the pump it could be a problem because it is at the bottom that feeds the oil to your pump in your motor. I don't believe you could ever happen. But that's what they thinking.

[@trackmachines4547]

how much oil u put it and which grade?

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Buy 4 qts and a oil filter. Drain oil, put on new oil filter, put in 3 quarts 20/50 MC V twin oil. I like Lucas at auto zone $10 a qt. Start motorcycle for a minute or two.and add oil until it's halfway on the dipstick.

Happy to help. If you have oil, when you run your hand under your air filter breather that means you have too much oil in the motor. sportsters like halfway on the oil dipstick.

Happy to help. I prefer the custom over the nightster or a 48, I think C model has a better running characteristics to there motor. Take a 48 for a test ride and let us know what you think. they look a lot better than they ride. XL1200 custom is the best Sportster out I have a 2015 custom with the wide front wheel. nice ride I hope this helps.. Thank you for watching and your sub Bill. Let us know how it works out. Ride safe and have a Happy Thanksgiving. 2015 XL1200C. or 2007 XL1200C and newer. Fuel injected.

Question...i can't locate the oil plug on my 48 Sportster 2019. Can you help me out please?

[@TwoWheelRocco]

If you look under the left side of motor. right before your kickstand you will see a drain hose with a plug and clamp. loosen clamp and remove plug with pan to catch oil. Hope this helps Michael.

Evo's love regular DYNO oil... quiets down the famous "tick tick tick" a tad also. 20w/50

[@anthonymartin3227]

Do you need to push the dipstick all the way down after wiping it to get an accurate reading or just turn til it locks?

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Turn till it locks. Hope that helps.

[@BRUISER1]

Do you need a transmission oil change as well?

@@TwoWheelRocco it’s a Harley sportster 48 1200 2016

[@fq7879]

On my 2012 sportster the oil should be checked on the side stand.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Just trying to help. If the stick don't rotate downwards, then it should be on standing straight up. And this is why these bikes get overfilled. Thank you for all your support and your comment. Drive safe and have a great day.

[@theinfinitryda]

Your vids are very detailed bi know how to do oil changes but I always find tips from your vids. I motovlog on my channel so it’s not detailed how to vids but it’s fun stuff. Lol. Check it out.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

I will.

[@amy1ist]

Um an den Ablassschlauch zu kommen,brauchst du fast eine Stunde um das Altöl abzulassen.Da sieht man mal wieder wie Harley arbeitet.Unüberlegt ,kompliziert und vor allen Dingen dämlich.So etwas wirst du als Beispiel bei Triumph nicht feststellen.😅

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to help. Thank you for watching Amy, ride safe and have a great day. Love those Sportster.

[@samadvanmoore6868]
