Hi! I have the same exhaust system and similar air filter. I want to switch to the original HD air filter system, do I need to calibrate the engine after that? (2009 Sportster Nightster Custom)
I know it has been a few years, but my son and I are doing a very similar hike next weekend... Nineteen Mile->Carter Notch Hut->Carter Dome->Carters... camping at Impsite and then out on Stony Brook the next day. Obviously, this means no Wildcat A & Moriah for us, but the same entire middle piece. I was just wondering if you guys also stayed at the Impsite ?? and..... if leaving out Wildcat A & Moriah makes it any more dog friendly???
I went for the button lock only damascus with carbon fiber scales as a lighter sort of gentleman's pocket knife. I gotta say im not disappointed it takes up less space and is lighter in my pocket compared to my Spyderco pm2.
@@NickyD626 I passed most of the people got a point on the turn from a stop/u turn so I’d work on your u turn the quick stop is easy and the peanut you just have to make sure you get up to speed. Good luck
@@towelman8589 everyone passed in my class, but I didn’t do as good as I’d like. Complete f’d up the right turn from a stop into the U-turn, but the lady didn’t even mark me for it
You could be talking about lugging the motor. If you are, then no FP3 won't help with this. You just need to run a slightly higher RPM and it will smooth out. Personally, I love the sound of running the bike at a very low RPM but I can't for the same reason.
Unless you’re drinking distilled water, there are electrolytes, a.k.a. minerals in all water I have never once eaten electrolyte gels, but I do live in the area and my water comes out of the same aquifer Poland Spring pulls their water out, so there is already plenty of electrolytes in my tap at my home that Most people are not privileged to have access to.
It depends on who you ask but the general rule of thumb that I've heard is if you only do a slip on exhaust, you don't need to tune it but if you do an air intake or a full exhaust, you should also do a tuner. People have different opinions that maybe you need a tuner even for slip ons and other people say that you can get away with installing a full exhaust and no tuner as long as you don't do an air cleaner... The safest thing is to get a tuner no matter what. Doing the exhaust, an air cleaner and tuner is the only way to see much of a performance gain anyways. Good luck.
The online class that I did was 5 hours. It's possible that it's how it was being done during Covid. I still had the two days of on site testing though.
I do not recommend this. On later engines, including evos, the correct idle is around 1,000rpm. Book may vary a little away from that. Oil pressure may be a consideration, but another is crankshaft speed. The slower the idle speed, the more the rotational speed varies, with the crank slowing as it reaches each compression cycle, then accelerating after each. Not good for bearings etc! So keep idle where it belongs! Shovels and old school pans can cope with a slower idle speed because they have heavier flywheels, to keep things smoooooth.
It's just like buying the right size shoe... The right height bar has to do with how tall you are, how long your arms are etc. plus you'll have an aesthetic preference too. Look up one of my videos about measuring for bar height. The general rule of thumb is to keep your arms below your heart. A lot of laws actually make it illegal to have bars that have your hands higher than parallel. Good luck.
@@TheJourneyRU-vid thank you for your advice, I am a tall guy. I am 166cm so 12 inches would be good enough I believe. I ordered for 10 inches but that looks really short and because of my back is not straight with the standard bar which comes with iron883. I guess I ll be good to get 12 inches handlebar
The other thing to consider is that there is no standard for how manufacturers measure their bars. For instance, I believe the Harley Chiseled bars are advertised as 10" but measure more like an 8" from other companies. I'm only 5'9" and my 12" bars are pretty much at the legal (and comfort) limit for me. You can always get a thinner seat which will make the bars feel higher too.
So sorry I meant I am not that tall, I am 5’7. In this case if you are happy and comfortable with 12 inches handlebar then I will order that. 14 inches for my height would be too big
Honestly I bought the Harley Davidson Genuine+ Transmission and Primary lube and I just looked... wouldn't you know it, they don't put the weight/ spec on the bottle. It doesn't seem as thick as 90wt but doesn't smell like regular oil either. I've used ATF for some other bikes, but this also doesn't smell like ATF. Sorry I could be more helpful.
You da man, thank you for this... perfect amount of detail with zero frills, this is a pure meat n taters video for the DIY man in his garage. Stay safe, ride free from Jimbo in Pa
this was very helpful video, it never dawned on me to fasten the existing scale to the raw piece of the new scale to match the correct shape of the liner, however you didnt cover the captive pivot part unless i missed it. still, learned a lot from this video. thank you
Thanks fpr your video..i just recently bought a 2022 iron 883.. And im planing to get the FP3.. What intake air filter cleaner you recommend for my stage 1 set up?
Honestly the 883 doesn't need a much larger intake unless you build the motor to a 1200 or larger. You don't gain THAT much from a stage 1. My general recommendation is the arless ness big sucker because it's a brand name air intake with a rechargeable filter and it's pretty cheap. You can get pretty much any air cleaner but most cost more.
Your bike looks badass with those bars. I ordered the 10” two days ago after looking at your video but I think I’m going to go with the 12” instead. Im 5’9” about 195 lbs, I was afraid the 12” might be to tall but I think they would be better than the 10”. Decisions decisions lol. Anyway keep making videos there great.
