One of the more appealing aspects of my Triumph is the consideration the engineers in Hinckley, Leicestershire put into making the oil changes effortless. Much like your Harley, the drain plug is on the lowest part of the sump when the bike is on its side stand, and the oil filter placement means it can be removed and replaced without creating a mess rivaling the Exxon Valdez incident. I also like that the engine, transmission and clutch all share a common sump, so when one gets changed, they all get changed. The large capacity also ensures that at any given time there is more oil running through the cooler and sump than there is in the workings, meaning a cooler running bike.
No one warned me off Harley Davidson KNUCKLEHEAD engineer's design deficiency regarding the cam chain tensioner and it let loose with 17,000 miles on the bike needing a total breakdown. The Harley dealer refused to do the work because its technicians are not trained to work on the old Twin Cam engine design. Harley never gets it right and they move on to the next generation of the engine without getting the old one right. I had to locate an experienced technician to pull the entire engine apart and install the aftermarket hydraulic tensioning system Harley should have designed in the first place. I had the cams upgraded which produced more power and better throttle response throughout the entire rpm range making more power than stock. I don't believe the technician did anything to my crankshaft and now I'm worried that will let loose. I still have only 26,000 miles on the my FXDX, hopefully this bike will outlast me at 68 years old. I'm not surprised to learn about these design deficiencies because HD has a long history of producing garbage when AMF owned the company and I used to laugh at Harley's broken down on the side of the road while I rode by on my Suzuki GS 750E and then my GS 1100E which had much better engineering. I would trade my piece of shit for one if iI could find one still running and spare parts were available. Nothing shakes and vibrates like a Harley and that is why women love riding on them. I had to use blue Loctite to keep the fasteners from backing off. What can I say other than Americans make GARBAGE and try to compensate with BULLSHIT marketing and advertising. This bike is made to ride slow and mellow and with the forward controls I can stretch my legs out and my back is straight thanks to the seating position. What the hell. it's a 1999 and is a dinosaur. My exwife threw out the shop manual. Thanks Del for pointing out which plug drains the oil. I might have drained the transmission by accident.
Excellent video. Clear demonstration, no silly chatter or BS. Exactly what I needed. Thank you.
Hi Del, interesting to hear your comments about the torque setting range. In the late 90`s, i worked on the trians for a year and a half installing air conditioning systems to the drivers cabs. To be able to work in the rail depot, we had to do induction courses, and instructional courses. One of the courses was a "Torque tightening" course, which said about the legalities of installing nuts and bolts on commercial and public transport system. One of the things we were told was that you should NOT use any lubricant on nuts and bolts (unless strictly specified or applied by the manufacturers) because it makes tightening the items too easily, which can cause the bolts to stretch under lower torque settings. So to hear your comment brought back memories.
I can well understand your expression when you undid the oil filter, way way too over tight.
Different applications require different solutions.. often you need to apply some form of substance to a thread for it's own good.. 'anti-sieze', 'threadlock' etc.. and they're all in liquid form to begin with, so yeah, an alteration in the torque setting is important.. specially on fragile threads !!
Delboy's Garage.. Awesome video. I did a Harley Davidson Electra-Glide one time and the dang filter was tight I broke a 3 jaw filter wrench and had to the same as you in this video. I mean that filter was way too tight if the 3 jaw filter wrench broke before the filter came loose.. Some people need to read a service manual before they work on bikes and then some people shouldn't be working on bikes. Thanks for sharing this.
Sure thing buddy, there are some clever tool for getting filters off, but in the end the law of physics will be the final restrictor, it's a soft and fragile tin can with no strength, being asked to turn on a superfine thread that's over tightened!... even those fancy ones with a 3/4 hex head on them, I've torn them completely out of the can, which is quite disappointing lol In the end, the grips always work and the good old rubber strap trick if you have the space! Oh and there's my other beef... if it's not hard enough, they put them in a location where you can't get your flipping hands round them!
Hi Penny and Del - Great video! When I was a teenager I had a great job at an oil change business... wonderful for someone who liked cars as much as I did. But we sure did get some stories out of the oil filters - those that were way too tight and those that were in incredibly hard to reach places. Probably the easiest was the RX-7 - right on top of the engine and very accessible! But I digress... always fascinating to watch you at work. Take care, my friends. Be well and ride safe!
Sounds like fond memories mate.. we all remember those jobs we enjoyed in our youth.. Thank you for your kind support as always buddy.. take care and enjoy your week. D&Px
Rode a 1340 fxdl from Devon to the med and back with SE shorties. Even with earplugs it leaves a sound like a Chinook hovering low overhead when you try to get to sleep at the end of a long day.
I love listening to the Harley choke along while you drink tea from a Triumph mug 😂!
Good to see you on the Dyna, that should be a bulletproof engine ay Del. Your 3 hole fluid change for Softails is one of my favorites, especially purging all the old oil out -- great tip I reckon, . In Cyprus at the moment, hellish hot here , high 30s, so have been hydrating with lots of local beer -- lovel people. Hi to Lady Penelope, enjoy your weekend, hope you're out on the Dyna. When I was watching the video, the missus was squeaking " Hi Del " xx 😉👍👍
Thanks 👍Hi Geoff.. not envious at all, haven't been abroad in too many years.. but we are having some nice summer weather here at home to be fair.. Have fun mate, and remember the beer is cleaner than the water on some placed..so good move lol!
@Moonfleet41 thanks Del, I just saw your message in the ' eatery' we're in, stay safe bro, & a big hi to PP X
Good ole' manual work, since no one has developped an app for oil and filter change ;-) Gotta watch a batch of your videos, since I've been away for two weeks. Beta Alping on the steep slopes of Lake Iseo was amazing again. All the best, Günter/Nürnberg
Wish my 1450cc Road King sounded as good as that dyna. Amazing how much better a carbed motor sounds than efi...
0:34 - 'Instant' white tea eh? - & one that doesn't SEEM to bring with it, the involuntary embarrassment of projectile ear wax immediately following the first tentative sip?!?
I sense the lady of the flickering lamp hath indeed woven this magic within a crafty edit; you can't fool me y'know, I've kept goldfish . . . once. Have a hot & super brill w/e : )xx
You too buddy, enjoy the sunshine, always appreciate your support!
I picked up an '02 FXD about a year and a half ago. Had to do the tensioners. Used a complete S&S camchest kit. You missed a perfect opportunity to explain about the oil coming out really slow which means your breathers are in good shape. Nice bike, what year is that one?
Hi mate, good point well made, it's a 98 registered, 99 model... so real early one, same as yours though and yes, slow drain can indicate breathing issues, but the breathers themselves never really block as much as the air filter does... the slow drain on this highlighted that the air filter is horribly blocked up and that'll be in a video to come soon!
It’s always a range when it comes to trq, you can never get an exact value, there are tolerances.
Beautiful machine! Great job Del.👌
Thanks Shaun, have a great weekend there mate!
Hahaha first time I've seen Del look angry as he tried to get the filter off. Lovely bike.
Sure thing mate, not angry just disappointed lol
Did I hear you right four thousand miles on a freshly built😮 motor. Way Way Way too many miles 😎
I would agree but there was little if any debris on the sump plug magnet and apparently there was no shiny bits in oil, probably had the correct oil engine flushes when rebuilt. If you had gone to the trouble of rebuilding and moding🎉 the engine, would sure hope that would have been done as part of the rebuild.
I didn't hear Del saying anything regarding bottom end rebuild, but cams and tensioner. If pistons and rings are the same there's no reason to change the oil every 1000 miles.
Pavel Lipski Such a shame you didn't listen Pavel.. i did make it quite clear that the motor had suffered a twisted crank... and that had been fully rebuilt.. so Obviously a bottom end rebuild.. check again.. 1:33 Obviously the rebuilt motor had the double heat cycle and oil flush, then another oil change at 500... This is the next oil change after that..!
@@Moonfleet41 damn, Del, my bad. But still, this is not the first oil change after rebuild, which is great to know
Nice video as always Del and Penny, job well done mate. Great info for people when tightening up the drain plug. Hope all is well with you both, have a great relaxing weekend and take care. P.S al we getting is rain, rain , not happy LOL. Cheers
Sorry buddy, I think it looks like we've got your sunshine at the moment, but don't worry, this is a British summer and it's usually the last two weeks of June and the first two weeks of July, then you'll have it back! Take care and have a great weekend there, D&Px
As long as you are above the min line good to go.
Why do so many people He-Man the drain plugs back on? I've got a stripped allen drain plug on my Victory (all Victorys use allen head drain plugs) the previous owner went all ham on. Ridiculous. Most plugs are around the 15lb/ft torque range which is literally one handed for a grown man aka not that much!
another great video brother! Never owned a harley , but it sounds badass !!😎 with everything done to the engine , that thing is a beast and bullet proof !!! Keep up the great work brother!!! Stay safe guys cheers from New York !!!
Cheers Renzo, glad you enjoyed the video, hoping you're both well and keeping safe! D&Px
A nice simple one! Have a great weekend Del!
Thanks, you too!
Hey great videos love these... question I recently bought a 2006 Dyna fuel injected seams to idle way to high how would I turn that idle down thanks so much
On fuel injected Harleys you don't! The idle speed is fixed by the ECU... there are piggy back devices you can buy I believe, but I wouldn't recommend it... a slow idle on a later model Harley can cause problems.
@@Moonfleet41 ok thanks ...what about that idle screw that stops the throttle cables it looks threaded on the back of the carburetor body bottom right.thanks again
Excellent as always Del 👍 I’ve just had to resort to the ‘screwdriver through the filter’ method of removal, on an Enfield. 😲🤔😖👍
Easy peasy, looks in pretty good shape 👍🏻 and that oil, as black as the tank.
Thanks Dave, hope you and the family are all keeping well, hugs from us, D&Px
Great vid as always 😊Are you not using Amsoil anymore?
Keep up the good work.
Safe rides 👍🤜
For the primary and gearbox I will be, as have plenty of stock left (the Amsoil gear oil is spuberb), but I've upgraded to this engine oil, it's a 20W60 formulation, a little better in this hot weather... a suitable replacement as I've run out of Amsoil engine oil at the moment.
I'm curious, what cams did they install during the rebuild?
Love this kind of video, Del!
🏍👍🏍
Glad you enjoyed the video Gary, it's the maintenance that people love best!
@@Moonfleet41 yessir😎
Great video Del! Hello from the USA. Quick question from an amateur 1/2 weekend mechanic. Lol. Do you subtract the amount of oil you pour in the filter from what you pour directly into the engine?
Yes, I have a 2008 H-D Dyna 96 ci. My engine rquires 2.5 quarts of oil with an oil filter. So yes it is only 2.5 quarts and you will subtract the oil in the new filter from the 2.5 quarts going into the engine. My transmission is 1 qt. The primary case is 1 qt.
Hi James, quite rightly as Bill said, the 2.5 quarts quantity is total including the filter... personally I don't get too fussy about it, I fill the filter and throw it on, then put 2 quarts in the engine and check the level, it'll be a little low, but it will be on the stick... just run the motor for maybe 30 seconds to purge any air out the system, then measure it... the level's critical more than the quantity (as you may not have got all of the old oil out, depending on how thick it still is, there's always an amount of 'cling' to internal parts)... and of course the final check is when the motor's hot as you'll know.
Thank you gentlemen. It is as I thought. Appreciate your answers.
Hey Del, I’ve been watching you since 2015. Thank you doe all your videos. Everything I think “ what the hell is he doing ?” It all makes sense. But my q for you today is every time I watch a video I hear a “chirp “. It’s made me check my smoke detectors LOL!!! It’s not the intros that you do with the birds. It really sounds like a bad battery in a smoke detector. LOL!!! Anyways. Thank you for all you do.
Hi mate, thanks so much for your long term support... the intro reel was a sound bite recording outside the unit one Spring morning a few years ago... we're surrounded by song birds, our unit's on a farm site, so full on countryside and the birds are always busy... so what you're probably hearing is those same birds with their daily chatter, always cheering us along with a happy song!
💪🏾💯👍
Never knew how little oil that particular engine takes. Interesting for sure.
Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed... have a great weekend there!
Funny thing is the manual says it takes 3. But mine only takes 2.5 qts.
@@shameless6963 neither of my bikes takes what is in the manual either. With a filter change my Pan Euro is supposed to take 3.8 L and it takes 4.2 or so to put it on the fill line. My ZX9 takes slightly more as well. Can’t recall exactly at the moment.
I had that same engine in a Road King. I put a bunch of miles on it and never had a lick of trouble with it but heard all the horror stories about that then newfangled twin cam 88. I guess it's the luck of the draw. Your shop is looking a bit like a HD dealership this week.😁 Thanks for always showing the RIGHT way to do things. Blessings to you and Penny. ❤👍👍
Hey Rick, always good to hear from you, glad you're enjoying the Harley videos! Wishing you a great weekend there, enjoy the sunshine and keep safe, all the best from us both, D&Px
Hello! Sorry to bother you, but maybe you could help me... I'm trying to sell the original seat from my 2004 Wide Glide and someone asked if it would fit in a 2011 WG...
Do you know that? Where could I check that?
Thank so much for your work!!
I would not know this having never done it myself.. but if you measure between your front hook on the frame, and the screw hole on the fender....if the buyers measurement is the same then it's likely it will fit.. maybe offer them a return / refund if it's no good.! just a thought !
Nice one Del those bikes look great.
FJ1200 running good to shame it's got too go, I'm making room now for my long awaited VW trike.
All the best D&P x
Has to go? Haven't you only just got the FJ? But hang on, what's this, VW Trike? That's awesome! Are you going for a posh Boom Trike or an old fashioned Praying Mantis? (I imagine it wouldn't be a beach bastard lol)... enjoy! D&Px
greetings to all.. Where can I get the manual you are using, thank you very much
You get these over the counter at your H-D main dealer.
What is a Filer?
... rectified!
I've got one of those, 2010 version. I'm thinking of trading it in towards a Rocket 3.
Just did all 3 oils on my 110 dyna low rider s yesterday could have done with this for reassurance 😂😂😂 thanks great video
Glad it helped mate, enjoy your weekend, ride safe!
I use your videos as a reference when doing maintenance on my 07 96CI FXDC. Keep up the great videos Del.
Great to hear mate, thanks for your feedback, glad the videos can help, have a great weekend!
Great video Del. “Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same. weekend”. - Francesca Reigler. Have a great.
Well said mate, thanks for sharing... enjoy your weekend too!
Job well done, Del. A very happy weekend to you.
Thanks Don, wishing you the same, enjoy the sunshine!
Hey Del,
Great job, cut open that oil filter. Love to see the junk in it… Hope you and Penny are doing great.
Thanks mate👍.. yes we're fine.. Hope you're enjoying the summer.
Another great video Del ! Have a great weekend and ride safe mate !
Thanks, you too Paul!
Another good video.....Thanks
