Thanks Rocco. Awesome and informative video as always. You have a unique way of verbalizing what to do and what not to do in ALL of your videos. I have been watching and useing your videos for close to two years with a 100% success rate because of your videos working on my own and other Harleys. Two weeks ago I became a certified tech at a local dealership!!! I one hundred and ten percent suggest and recommend your videos on a regular basis to folks that are new to Harleys or to those that are just unsure. I may not have ever been so motivated in career choice had it not been for your videos Rocco. Please don't ever stop making them. There value is unmeasurable they can actually change a person's whole life for the better!!!

Great video , thanks for posting ! I changed my clutch cable a couple months back and I'm having huge leak problems. My clutch cable won't tighten up in my primary case, I hope it's not stripped. Tomorrow I'm going to put it on the lift and check my threads where you put that thread lock on to see if it helps!

Hey Rocco I have a 2002 sportster 1200 xlh with straight bars just like yours in the video. Im having issues finding the right clutch cable to replace my current one which is too long and sticks out over the headlight. I ordered one recently off a website and it was to short even though It said it would fit my bike. Do you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated
@TwoWheelRocco3 жыл бұрын
If you have the short one on the bike and add how many inches you need then total it and order that cable. If you have the long one on your bike minus what you think and then order that size cable. Give your self a little room to work with. That how I do it. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching and your sub Randy. Let us know how this works out. Ride Safe and have a great day.

If you use Permatex or Loctite 515 flange sealant on the cable threads on the cable and cover (after washing off any oil with carb cleaner) they'll rarely leak. If you want O-rings you can measure the one you have then buy a bag off Ebay etc for small change. (Choose Viton, Buna or similar rings.) The cable O- ring for my 1992 is 1/2" OD, 5/16" ID and 3/16" thick. (I'm doing a clutch cable today so while I'm dodging the heat I figured I'd add to a video or two. I've done many cables on many brands. That ring size should fit all Evo Sporties. The accordion boot they give you with new cables the "protect" the inline cable adjuster is a moisture trap and the reason I had to replace the cable I"m doing today. Previous owner didn't lube his adjuster threads so the boot trapped humidity and the adjuster rusted into junk. I give my adjuster threads a good coat of clear silicone "tuneup" grease (Permatext, any auto store, get the big tube) instead which helps exclude moisture.

Hey man, i just saw your video and i think it will be helpfull. I discovered that my bike was leaking transmission oil, couple days after changing the handlebars. It was strange to me since gasket set was replaced few weeks ago. Do you think that this leak is due to the handlebar replacement? The leak comes from the bottom seal of the primary case, under the shifter. It only leaks when running, I hope this isn’t a major issue. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks for the video!!!

Hopefully you read this in time before I redo my cable again this week. When I was screwing lower part of cable in, the threads snapped on me. I see that you had way more pressure on your wrench then I had used on mine. Could it be that since I had an aftermarket cable(from a well known company) that it is just weaker than the stock ones?

Before that, I was doing everything you showed us, by the numbers. I bought the black silicone, thread sealant, etc. Oh well, live and learn. At least I know to thread the cable into the primary case, before hooking it up at the lever. ;) Thank you, again.
