Just want to give you another big THANKS for all your vids. They are probably the clearest and well explained of all the ones I've browsed on Ytube. I'm (slowly) tackling this on an old Evo FXWG, and I don't know how many dollars you've probably saved me from a visit to the stealorship. Thanks again -

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Thanks Jon I appreciate that, glad you like the videos and glad they're helping you save money.👍

Awesome sir I was wondering about the gap I bout the puller, now I guess thres one more tool to get , never having to much tools . Have a great day.

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Depending on the year model and trans. On 2000 to 2006 5 spd the gap is .100 - .125. The best advice I can give is refer to the shop manual for you're bike. Thanks for watching.

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

Great video..love the technique. !! ya got a habit of making it all look easy ,eh mate... Nice work. Hope you and Mugs are well.

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Thanks Rich, Mugs and I are good hope you're well. When you've done as many inner races as I have it is easy. Thanks for watching

[@duaneharington1436]

You have cool tools Tinker, thanks for sharing 😎

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Thanks, I've been accumulating tools for over 50 years. Seems you never have enough. I do the same thing with bikes.

[@boba2389]

Just did one myself, but there are vendors out there that make a better, wider bearing to replaced this system. Sometimes I think Harley engineers things so you have to take repairs to a shop or dealer.

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

I agree, they definitely want you in their shop. But now a lot of the dealers won't work on bikes 10 years or older. I know Jim's makes a bearing to replace the race, but I haven't seen or heard how long they last. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. Ride safe

[@harveymagner9784]

Great video where did you buy race removal tool and install tool? How about video on the seals as well thankyou

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Glad you liked the video. I think I got those tools off Amazon but not sure because I've had them along time. I've already done videos on trans seals and primary seal's. Look at my playlist in transmissions and you'll find the trans seals in that playlist. Primary seal's are in Primary R&R playlist. Thanks for watching and ride safe.

Hey tinker I did put a new inner race on I know the old one look good but I didn't do it

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

They're easy to do, thanks for letting me know.

[@clarkandviolettye7847]

Hey tinker do you think using the old race it would back off or side ahead up tight thanks tinker

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Hi Clark, I've never reused a inner race. Some of the races that I have removed that were used and installed by someone else all walked into the main gear. So I wouldn't recommend reusing one unless you don't mind replacing it in the future.

[@kevinmckenna2877]

If you are going to use the PVC pipe method, do you want to heat the race up?

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Thanks for the question, you can heat the race it helps slide it on but doesn't do much for the PVC pipe. What I used to do is take the old race drill it out so it slips over the shaft easily. Than heat the new race put the old race against it than the PVC pipe against the old race. Keeps the PVC from softening up. Thanks for watching.

[@Crackrjack-dk8bm]

I’m running out of opinions. My bike vibrates pretty bad when I’m getting on it. Not at an ideal. I was told my main shaft could be bent my cranks outta wack and so on. Soon as I pull my clutch in it ideals down and goes away. In your option what are the odds it’s the shaft? 96 fatboy evo

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

That's not good, it could be a bent main shaft. But when a main shaft is bent it usually causes shifting problems or just blows the trans apart. I would start at the rear wheel, check for alignment, bearings, bent rim, bad axle, warped rotor, bend drive pulley, bad tire, swingarm bushings and make sure everything is tightened correctly. Check for bend frame or swingarm. Than start moving forward and check motor mounts. Hope this helps.

[@ronakins1212]

I couldn't see to well watching on my phone. Was that the puller you used to get you gap?

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Thanks for the question. Yes I used the puller to gap the race, it's the same as using a feeler gauge. Thanks for watching

[@ronakins1212]

Thank you. I'm glad I found your Channel

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Glad you found my channel helpful. Thanks for watching

[@doreendiego5898]

What tool are you using to get your Gap

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

I use the race extractor tool to set the gap, put you can use a feeler gauge to set the gap. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

[@paulypaulypauly8011]

Nice work thanks for that. I like the way you present your videos, and you are easy to understand. Ummm…Your dog sucks. ;-)

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Glad you enjoy the videos. I do apologize for my dog barking, but he's just doing his job. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.

[@johnwo8156]

What's the reason for the .100 clearance T?

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

The 1 thousands clearance is insurers the race is center in the middle of the bearing. Thanks for the question

[@johnwo8156]

@@tinkeringwithharleys OK. The manual calls for .100 tho which is one hundred thousandths I believe.

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Agreed in the manual it stayed .100 to .125 so you are correct.

[@williebutler9576]

The race can be very interesting but I can handle it

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Yep they can be interesting and I'm sure you can handle it. Thanks for watching.

[@Tommy.McLean]

Great video, but you should probably throw out there to NEVER install a dry bearing

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Glad you liked the video and you're right. Sometimes I forget to say things that I should. Thanks for watching

[@Tommy.McLean]

@@tinkeringwithharleys all good. Love your videos. If ever in ocala fl you should come chill in my harley shop

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Glad you like the videos and thanks for the invite. But I don't think I'll be heading to Florida anytime soon. But if you get out this way let me know.

[@Tommy.McLean]

@@tinkeringwithharleys will do

[@lynskyrd]

good vid but... DO NOT install this race assembly anymore. Use the race/bearing kit that installs in the inner primary instead. It's one unit and you don't have to worry about the inner race walking into the quad seal. Ride safe everybody.

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching

[@tomj2111]

Where can you find the race/bearing kit?

[@lynskyrd]

@@tomj2111 google 'All Balls Inner Primary Upgrade Kit'

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

If you're going for the race and bearing separately you can get at any Harley dealer. If you're looking for the 1 piece race and bearing the only company I know of that makes it is Jim's. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
