    Forget the Newton meters. Tighten it to German specs. Goudentight!

  • @JamesCurl_aka_RedonKiLaus

    Wow, glad I did this service myself! A pal of mine took his bike to the dealer for a new rear tire. A few days later he was driving on the freeway and the drive belt came loose. Suspect the dealer forgot to tighten the axle to spec as it destroyed the belt, the left tensioner, and the entire day. The only weird thing I came up against was the oil filter. I used the Chrome filter spec'd for this bike, but it only threaded on about 3 full turns before starting to tighten. The original black filter threaded on about 10 full turns. I checked and rechecked the P/N's and I definitely used the correct one. Next oil change I am switching to K&N.

    Thanks. Just used your video with the book to do mine. One thing that surprised me. On my bike (2020 street glide) the trans plug is directly behind the oil. So I did the oil, filled it back up and then went to drain the trans. The oil that came out was so new looking I was sure I was letting out fresh engine oil. I triple checked the manual and it was the trans oil. Also there are a few other things you do in accordance with the manual like checking steering stem bearings which amounts to lifting it up and making sure there’s no play. And a few other things. Probably just stuff added to get that first service up to the $400 mark at the dealership but I did them and documented it all in a notebook with pictures that way if I have issues I can verify to HDMC that I’ve done my due diligence.

  • @lovell7420
    @lovell7420 Před 6 lety +1

    Throwing that synthetic oil (not recommended from manufacturer) in your new HD voids the warranty, there is a reason you don't perform the 1K service on your own. If anything occurs with your bike that oil is going to be inspected and you will be found accountable for the damage internally. You check those master cylinders for the brakes to make sure vibrations within the first 1K are not forcing bolts out. All and all great video!! Just be sure your warranties are not void with the types of oils.

      My 2012 Electra Glide has 34000 miles. I change the fluids every 3000. Mobil 1 15w50 oil and redline tranny and primary. I changed the brake pads at 22000 miles. That’s it. Never a leak or hiccup from my black beauty. Also, at 10000 miles switched out the rear tire to Michelin Commander 2. Went to 31000 before changed out. Changed the front tire to the same at 15000. Still on and tons of tread.

    Never owned a new Harley, but do they void your warranty if you do your own work? Or ad and modify things?

    • @redonKiLaus
      @redonKiLaus  Před 6 lety

      The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prevents any company from voiding a warranty due to DIY maintenance assuming proper specs and procedures were followed. Modifying, however, typically voids the warranty of the specific component you modify but not normally of an entire vehicle (if you alter an engine, the engine warranty may be voided for instance). Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!

    • @two-bits2178
      @two-bits2178 Před 6 lety

      Also, most mods involve little more than a pair of slip-ons and maybe a Stage 1 AF. All one need do is install a V&H fuel pack, save your original map, remove/remap the bike if you think any of the "mods" caused whatever issue you may be experiencing. It'll read like a clean factory install. Beyond this, aside from screwing up an electrical component/system with shoddy install work, there isn't much which can legally be claimed by a manufacturer as causing a defect. They can try, but there's lots of laws against said practice.

    During a real 1 k service there is a lot more performed. There is a critical fastener check such as your axle torque, wheel alignment would be done with the belt tension, brake fluid inspected, charging system check, etc. This video is good maintenance but not necessarily a 1,000 mile service.

    • @notsure8652
      @notsure8652 Před 5 lety +3

      True, or at least they are supposed to do all that. Now that said, Harley should do the 1000 mile service for free as part of the warranty. But no, Harley just uses that as another excuse to price gouge you. Well fuck that, just learn how to work on your own damn bike. Save yourself A LOT OF MONEY.

  • @oats63mkr
    @oats63mkr Před 6 lety

    22.6 N m is what your wrench dialed in to - you do realize that this is residual torque? What does the factory spec say the torque for that nut is? I’m guessing about 15% higher. Your nut is going to loosen up in the next 24 hours and will probably be below spec.

    I'm a professional tech. I seriously recommend you have the dealer do your first service. They do more than just change fluids, if anything has worked itself loose or any problems are starting to materialize an experienced tech will be able to spot it. It's also good to have your 1000 mile break in service on record at a dealer so if you have a problem with your motor later the warranty company can't use it as an excuse.

    • @Dave-sw2dm
      @Dave-sw2dm Před 6 lety

      Since a special machine is needed to bleed the brakes on ABS bikes, my plan is to let the techs service the bike at 20,000 and 40,000 miles which will be every two years. I will keep up with the services in between. Hopefully the techs will be more diligent than the tech who fixed my fairing vent under warranty and forgot to reconnect one of the speakers.
