Twin Cam Series: 06 Softail Counterbalancer Piston Jet Theory and Operation

[@slowpoke96Z28]

7:30, is that passage not in the motor case on the A motors?

[@87ishturbo]

Once again a great info packed video. I've never opened a Harley motor in my 7 years of working at bikes but nice to see the workings and technology of them.

[@donpet8258]

That makes me like my 16 dyna better than my 10 heritage now ! At least I can see and feel when rubber mounts need replacement.

[@haroldyazzie3538]

Wow! That's interesting about the counter balancers. Thx for your videos. I wish I was in your class.

I've been wanting to do this one for awhile.

[@Wydglide]

What is the purpose of the drain that is in the very bottom of the twin cam engine? on the very bottom under the cam.

[@rarebreed9208]

Slide a zip tie over tensioner with locking head facing up and out. Route tie around back and out front of assembly. When you pull tie through locking head, pull downward and this will pull tensioner back into housing. Will not only hold tensioner in retracted position, but will hold it there for reassembly.

[@How2Wrench]

Welcome to the channel and thanks for sharing!

[@crapshot7412]

After watching this video, I got rid of my 02 Springer Heritage Softail that I had wanted for years.. More rotating mass + more chain = more chance of future catastrophic failure! I made an even trade for a 67 Electraglide in very good condition that goes with my 72. Will never own anything newer than an Evolution!

[@kennethwise7108]

Yeah thats "High-Tech" alright, putting tensioners INSIDE of an engine case is GENIUS!!!!

[@obfuscated3090]

They are deeply buried on cars and trucks, but those tensioner shoes aren't SMALLER THAN A FUCKING POSTAGE STAMP.

[@bz1928]

This is a great video, well done sir.

[@jackdevine5382]

anyone know where I can get the parts as shown in this video to upgrade my 2001 softail to the nipple hose clamp style oil line and eliminate obsolete o ring style

[@mnsoans]

The guy at the top right in the beginning of the video who yawns looks like the KZbin motovlogger 'DoItWithDan' xD

Good morning 🌅, I am from the future, as this was posted 8 years ago, I have a 2003 TC B Deuce, I purchased it secondhand about three months ago, , whoever had it before me hasn’t looked after it very well, and occasionally I have strange noises coming from it, I believe for the bottom end and the top end, I’ve taken it to a HD, service tech, I was hoping that they were taken it for a ride but did not, When it was running at HD, it sounded okay from what the tech was saying, it had some bad leaks from the inner primary, So I’ve actually put on a new drive belt the sprocket off the gearbox, upgraded the main shaft bearing, and removed the sleeve that old bearing used torun On, The bike has done around 50,000 miles , and I have noticed that it has got S&S G510 cams in it, But it still has got the original backplate from HD, but I can’t quite tell whether it has got the upgraded oil pump or not, And not hundred percent sure whether it’s been potted as well, to 1550, So I’m hoping that it lasts until the winter time and I’m thinking of stripping it completely, and rebuilding the engine, which will probably include a new crankshaft with Bearings, as I believe this is the year that they change the bearings on the crankshaft and cases, Will I need any specialist alignment tools? , I am thinking of purchasing a press, and at present, I do not have a major bike lift, I have one that lifts the bike off the ground, but not to be able to work on it properly, What is your thoughts, please?, Would it be better to purchase a new motor?, Or to attempt to rebuild this one, Part of my problem is that I live in France, but I am English, And cannot seem to find people that does engine work, If you could give me some advice, be very much appreciated, I’ve been watching quite a few of your territories. They do seem to be very explicit and very helpful., Thanks from France,

[@bikenestgarage]

nice vid thanks!!!

[@heraldlee8112]

So when is it best to replace the plastic guides to help the chain?I'm at 42k

[@valjatriogina228]

42,5 ! After that, every 5k. You can combine that with oil change 😊

[@maxcasaca1]

Remove the counterbalacers gives more performance?

[@How2Wrench]

[@ukaszzabicki]

Does all of your videos contains a coughing guy in the background?

[@How2Wrench]

Yes all 800 of them.

[@rywolf01]

Pretty sure the engineers over-engineered on this one. Trying to compete with other manufacturers that make more efficient use of metal and quieter. Unfortunately I'm inside an 88b that had a front cam bearing failure. Yep, all the tensioners are well within spec, the unit was serviced regularly with hd hogwash products. Though I know everything can and will fail, cam setup in the evo made more sense. People have this pre-conceived notion that hd is great because it is American made. What I see is a corporation that lost sight of its customers wants and needs. American steel for an American rider. Something well built and reliable. It looks like a Timken bearing on the flywheel you are demonstrating with.

Biggest POS to EVER come out of the Motor Company and just one of the reasons why so many have walked away from HD's. What notable "Motor Company" would put freggin tensioners inside of an engine case AND press a crank pin into their flywheels?

[@bendaves77]

Why not just eliminate all the extra weight
