After 5000 mile on my 2006 to the east coast and back I believe i have the same oil leak. Thanks for the video, Great job

[@YogisCycleService]

Thank you!!

Man I love this video! It's ASMR for those who like to wrench. You did a great job and looking forward to the next two in the series. Miss piggy is a great looking bike, and I personally enjoy the paint schemes on the 03 100th anniversary Harleys.

[@YogisCycleService]

Me too and thank you

Good Morning 🌅, Yogi’s , That was a great idea to get to starter bolts, I am in the process of changing my belt and all my bearings and seals 🦭,😂 , and I need to change the belt pulls as well, I have just recently purchased this bike a 2003 Softail deuce, it is in not very good condition, the belt has been overtightened, and I’m replacing the bearing and sleeve, on the main shaft with a Jim’s upgrade, bearing kit, Have a big problem. I have to wait for replacement parts from HD. , I live in France and I’ve been told I’ve got to wait anywhere between 4 to 6 weeks, this is not good, France

[@YogisCycleService]

Dang that’s a bummer but congrats on the bike and have fun working on it and getting to know it. Enjoy and good luck with parts. I was in France last month. If I knew I would have brought them to ya.

[@Hog-g2z]

@@YogisCycleService Thank you for reply, yes that would of been great, a personal supply of parts, I would of had to have a tidy up, As I live by myself, and I no longer have somebody telling me what to do on when to do it, Stay safe keep up the great work, nothing like a good wrenching to relieve your stress ha ha, France.

Thanks for the Video Yogi!!! Raydar

Why is that stator still good ? I have an 06 HSTCI. I have had to change the stator twice. 50k at present. Both times it grounded out and was not charging. But, still no leaks and the belt looks good. I love these tear downs. Looking forward to the rest. Best wishes...

[@YogisCycleService]

In my opinion it still looked good because I didn’t see any burned windings on it. I suppose the only way to truly test it is by checking the output but visually it appears in pretty decent shape.

[@YogisCycleService]

I have a video on a nomad engine rebuild coming next and the stator in it looks much different and you can clearly see burned windings so that one will be getting replaced

[@davidmitchell9048]

Great info! Thanks for sharing!

[@YogisCycleService]

Yes sir!! Thanks for leaving me a comment!! Have a great week

[@johncram1149]

I just wanted to let you know that I didn't want to remove the rear tire just for one starter bolt, with the help of a couple flashlights an 3/8 drive swivel and allen socket oh yea and black tape I was able to loosen the seconded starter bolt with out removing the tire, took an extra 5 minutes but felt like it was with it. thanks again for all your videos.

[@YogisCycleService]

I don’t blame you one little bit And I thank you for commenting and watching

[@alanmiller366]

yogi, i just changed my inner primary seal and see the i side if the seal says oil side, so i put that flat side to the snap ring and bearing, does that seem correct to you?

[@chuckhabrack3330]

Nice job on the tear down. Something to mention is when doing starter stuff disconnect the battery. It's so easy to drop or ruin something when you see the arc.

[@YogisCycleService]

Very true and I thought about that during editing that I forgot to mention it

[@dco956]
