Oil Change on a Harley Davidson Sportster

[@MotoHeadKyle]

Thanks for Watching! Hope this is able to help someone looking to wrench on their own bike!

[@SUNEELSR]

Appreciate for demonstrating engine and transmission oil change, It is very helpful.

[@billbyrd9845]

Just bought my 2018 forty-eight. Every video I watch gives me slightly different advice on how to check and change the oil. I've decided to go with yours as you seem to combine common sense with HD reference material.

Thanks for the informational videos! Always love to watch how other people do things. Keep up the good work!

Can you use the same oil in the primary as in the Reservoir? Like hd 20w-50 full synth?

[@averagejoereview192]

And how do you check your primary lvl?

[@MotoHeadKyle]

So if you’re using like the Harley Syn 3 or Mobil 1 or ams oil 20-50 you can use that in your primary! Most of those bottles list good for engine, primary & transmission on their label. So I would just look for that to be certain.

[@MotoHeadKyle]

@@averagejoereview192 as far as the primary level, the fluid should be level just touching the lower part of the basket. I will throw a link with a picture here.. www.hdforums.com/forum/attachments/primary-transmission-driveline-clutch/520954d1501266124-primary-oil-level-primary-fluid-level__zpsnjtdi2zx.png Hope this helps! Thanks for watching! Glad to have you here🤙🏻

@@MotoHeadKyle @Moto Head Kyle thanks a lot man for the info I just did my first oil change on my 22 48 sportster and was tripping out cus I saw in the video later when I re watched it you put 2 different types of oils in and I just put the full synthetic screaming eagle oil 20w-50 in both cus that's what the guy at the harley place gave me when I asked for all the stuff for an oil change

[@MotoHeadKyle]

@@averagejoereview192 no worries! I just prefer to put “gear oil” (higher weight) in over the 20-50(typical motor oil) in. But at the end of the day it’s all preference! And what’s readily available for you to use. Hope to see you in the comments in the future! Stay safe.

Thanks for another great video alway good information

[@comingasathiefinthenight1120]

So does the engine oilcover the transmission fluid or is it two different fluids ??

[@tylerhubbell6410]

It's 2 different fluids.Did you watch the video or see the thumbnail?

[@averagejoereview192]

Other then fork and brake fluid, is this all the fluids to be changed? On a sportster?

[@MotoHeadKyle]

Correct!

[@timbarnett3898]

What year is Sporster your working on? Mine sporty didn't have the oil drain line!

[@MotoHeadKyle]

Interesting, this is a 2020, but as far as I knew the last 20 years or so they’ve been like this or very similar to this. What year is yours?

[@timbarnett3898]

I owned sporty longer than 20 yrs ago, because I had it for several yrs before I got my 03' Dyna. Time travels fast, an faster when we are having fun!

[@MotoHeadKyle]

@@timbarnett3898 Amen! Ride safe 🤙🏻

[@trevorbeal2424]

What fluid did you use for the primary?

[@MotoHeadKyle]

In this video I used torco, I normally used Harley formula +

[@gengchen733]

Where to order the handlebar?

[@MotoHeadKyle]

The handlebars in the video are Harley Chiseled Handlebars, so Harley’s website or a local dealer

[@YeahNahMaybe947]

Trust me its a matter when not if the drain tube cracks and leaks on you.

[@gtb5216]

I have had sportsters since I was 27 yrs old...I am now 62...I have never had a tube crack on me. I have had other issues...lol but never that one.

[@eveythingthatsadam]

You really shouldn't be putting this video out, it skips highly important information. You MUST bleed the air out the drain tube before starting the bike else you could risk catastrophic damage.

[@gtb5216]

Not true...lol

[@eveythingthatsadam]

@@gtb5216 I mean it is literally true. Get educated

[@DCSPORTSTER]

I’ve only let the air out of the drain tube a couple times doesn’t seem to make any difference whether you do it or not. I’ve had my bike for 22 years. Still working fine.
