Took my CPO 2015 ultra low for same noise and transmission banging in each gear. The dealer said they did not know what a certified pre owned warranty was. This was a local dealer by my house and they didn't even care. I ended up calling dealer where I bought it from 3hrs away and they said they will take care of it. It amazing how different dealers are. Love the videos keep em coming.
REALLY !!?!? The CPO program is a nation wide deal Harley implemented 🤦♂️ yes it is kinda wild how different each dealer is. At Speedway we really strive to make sure ALL our customers are treated like family. This is exactly why people use the term stealership and refuse to go back to another dealer. Thank you. I really try to make sure the everyday joe has SOLID info
Would love to see more videos like this and any videos to make that motor bulletproof. Thank you for posting the videos
Thank you!
This is an area I am going to focus on with the next upgrades. Great info
Yeah I’m looking to hopefully get one of these dark horse comps
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, appreciate your efforts!
👍🏻 glad you enjoyed
Great work dude. I see you do this every day of my life at work, now I get to watch you do it on my phone in the comfort of my home. What a time to be alive. 😘
🤣🤣🤣🤣 boy you’ve been on one today 🤣🤣🤣 I’m still dying over what you said earlier
@@VtwinRevolution I’m just havin a day! 💁🏻♂️
🤣🤣
Really enjoy watching your videos!
Thank you !
Great video.Nice detailed instructions
Thank you !
Great video and info Sean!!
Thank you !
Great videos! Just installed my Darkhorse this week!
AWESOME !!
Damn bro keep up them great tutorials.
Haha thank you !
Sean, thank you for doing this video. Answered my questions and also showed me some good tips. I had thought about ordering the Hayden Tensioner but decided that in the next couple of days, when I open the primary for inspection, if everything looks good will just stay with stock parts. I have a 2018 Roadglide (107) with 61000 troublefree miles.
Sorry it took so long to get it out but happy I could answer your questions. So the Hayden tensioner is what I was talkin about I just could t remember the name. I can promise that your stock chain tensioner will barely look like it been used.
I am new to the Harley world. Really enjoy watching your videos, keep up the videos coming.🤘🤘🤘
Thank you !! Any time I can help let me know !
You would think higher rpm would be worse on a comp instead of lugging but it is a wearable part in the first place but I tried the Darkhorse comp for twin cam and it does change throttle response are drive response it’s instant and one thing I learned in this situation your really better off with SE comp for just everyday riding because if you have runout it’s going to end badly and if you have a little now it’s just going to worse especially riding hard with the DH it’s mainly what you want and how ride
If you think about it, at high RPM it’s not ramping up or working like it would if you were lugging the bike, it’s having to work harder at lower RPM. Those SE comps take a ton of abuse from puttin around and you’re right for everyday riding they get the job done. And I could see one of these comps exaggerating a runout that you’re not aware you have lol
Evolution industries is here in Southern California great products..
I have their billet clutch basket on my dyna
@VtwinRevolution
Cool I'll let Ed know that...
👍🏻
Curious on why you prefer the pipe dope vs Teflon tape... also have you seen any issued using an impact to remove the comp bolt? Keep the videos and tips coming!!!
Two reasons….first gettin that stuff off is a pain when I’m cleaning the drain plug on a service and the other reason is cause I ALWAYS forget which direction to put it on so that it doesn’t wad up at the bottom lol.
Funny you ask that, me and another tech was literally talking about this today cause my dad called and asked the same question. Does the book tell you not to use sharp blows, yes. Have I EVER seen using an impact to remove the comp bolt, no. There isn’t a tech out there that doesn’t use a gun to remove that bolt. It’s torqued to 170ftlbs. That’s a decent amount to break loose.
I thought you were getting into gun comps? Like your content. Still afraid to touch my bike with tools, but I can teach you in the way of the blasters.
THANK YOU !! I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A CAN FOR ALL OF MY FIREARMS !!!! The waiting and the cost is idiotic !
Ive always heard chatter taking off. Or a loud clunk changing gears. I noticed a weird vibration in gear. Coasting with clutch pulled in. So big i dont know if you would call it a vibration. More like a bounce. Rides fine any other time. Mine is 99-05 flh with 69k on it
I’ll start with the easy answer first 🤣 those 5spds were loud transmissions, they clunked at every gear change that’s normal.
I’m not sure how recent this development is but you could have a loose comp, your flywheels could have shifted, loose primary chain. That’s a tough one without being able to ride it. Hell you could have a rock stuck between the swingarm and the trans case OR a battery bolt stuck between the primary and the frame at the passenger footboard location. Or it could be a bad front motor mount…..
If the waffles are soggy cause they're basically swimming in syrup and melted butter. You bet your ass I'm gonna eat them. LOL Really informative video. And yes, about the derby cover. You're neurotic. LOL
Hahahaha thanks dude
Great tips and tricks. How concerned should I be with my 2014 flhtp with the 103HO and 27000 miles.
Thank you ! At 27k you probably don’t have much to worry about….but you will know when that spring pack and comp start to get worn….that unmistakeable shudder noise at idle or as you start to take off will slowly start to appear. At that point you could look into the dark horse comp or baker comp.
I told my Grandma to sub, she smacked the shit out of me and lit up a Lucky Strike with her old Zippo.
🤣🤣🤣 probably said something to that fact of “you pussies wouldn’t know what a real motorcycle was if it dick smacked you in the face”
@@VtwinRevolutionLOL😂
U win the internet today
🏆
🤣
👍🏼
Thank you
Now can you a clutch I had a new clutch basket put on and still get a chatter in that area. also had a baker compensator done earlier.
So it’s possible that the auto chain tensioner is between teeth and can’t ratchet up to the next spot….ive seen that happen before
hey like your videos,what brand is the in/lb torque wrench?
Thank you ! Snap-on….cause I enjoy putting his kids through college 🤣
My bike went down and compensator came apart been at dealer two weeks. SMH it's on a 2015 ultra classic low. The other issues is tires are 10 yrs old and flat spots. On a CPO harley it's supposed to be 5 year or newer tire but they won't give me cpo inspection sheet. Any help would be awesome. Havent been riding in weeks damn. Lol
man..... I hat to hear that !! I really do ! this is what causes people to not trust the dealership. or any dealer for that matter ! so this is all I can really give you in terms of help of info, when you bought the bike you were supposed to sign a CPO sheet it would have been a check list that the tech went through and checked off, and MAYBE a multi-point sheet then the service manager has to sign then that gets given to the finance guy. As I imagine your not happy, honestly all your proof is sitting on your bike, if your tires are 10 yrs old thats no bueno !!!! those tires SHOULD have been changed!!!!!!!!!! the only other thing I can tell you to do is call harley customer care, get them involved and you'll see how quickly things are taken care of ! hell if they're 10 yrs old I would imagine they are also below 3/32nds or near the end of their life. I really hope you get this straightened out dude !!
So with changing out the compensator does it take the place of all the shims and the other peice of that makes it ingage dont know the name of it though ?
So depending on if it’s a dark horse like I installed or the baker comp setup, yes it replaces the spring pack and ramp assembly. Those style of comps are completed units
Thank you may I have you as my teacher? 👍
I will teach through the videos
In all honesty is it ok to change primary oil every 10,000 miles per manual or is that really too long for the real world? 2012 Ultra Classic..
So me personally I do not like that interval….i feel like it’s way too long especially for what’s going on inside there.
I use bell ray in all 3 holes. I change my oil and primary every 3000, and my transmission every other oil change. That might be a little bit of overkill but I feel like it's good insurance.
I do the EXACT same thing !!
Yeah lugging is bas for your primary and everything else - ACTUAL lugging, which is that spot right before stalling where its going CHUG CHUG CHUG and making all kinds of horrible racket and bucking the bike. Thats lugging.
On the ither side, you DO NOT want to keep these Harkeys at high RPM's. They're extremely long stroke motors with a lot of very unbalanced rotating mass. Long stroke neans high piston velocity for a given RPM, which means faster wear. That's why Diesel engines redline at like 3,500rpm. Same mechanical concept.
You are correct sir ! Yeah you should check out my video “ I broke my dyna” that’s what sustained high RPM looks like lol
