Amazing video! You made it look so easy I am having to play in my shift Rod as well I addressed it in the front but I'm going to have to do this process for the back I think I'm also going to do the starter at the same time so I'll have good access thank you so much for doing this
Jeffrey Miller that rod he pulls out at 7:24 I pushed that in by accident and can't pull it out is that a problem? I I don't have plies that can get in there and grab it what should I do?
tilt your bike on its kick stand and knock it with the adjustment screw you just pulled out from in front of it and it will bounce back and expose itself enough to grab it.
Compensator Nut use 13/16 1/2 drive socket with a 30" breaker bar. Came off pretty easy. When removing chain tensioner there are some spacers be careful not to lose them. Just some little details that may help. Great video!
I wasn't even necessarily searching for the information in your video. But once I started watching, the video was so informative and visually instructive I couldn't stop watching .I hope to give my bike the same level of work and care . thanks for the video.
Just what I needed to see. I always thought there would be a master link in the primary chain to remove and replace but, in afterthought, I’d never want to have a primary separate under power.... Thank you for posting- you’ve simplified my afternoon, and given me thought to chroming my inner primary, and upgrading my alternator at a later date.
At 9:20 ... Epic.. You sure you're not Thor or Zeus? As you tense up to undo the nut, thunder sounds to mark your struggle... That's my favorite part of the video.
Excellent Video! I happened upon your video, after watching another repair video. I almost skipped it but your concise step by step explanation caused me to watch until the end. I’ve torn apart and rebuilt many car engines but as simple as it may sound I always worry about messing something up on my FLHTC, so it goes to HD for the “1K repairs. “ After watching your video I will look into the primary case next time I change the oil. Thank you for an excellent video sir Stay well and make more videos!
Just watched about 20 different videos and this one looks to be the most complete for this job. About to do it on a 2005 FLHRSI with 22k on it. Thank you for sharing this video.
My bike needed the belt replaced and i was Just about to give up on doing it myself till I found your video...u saved me bout 250-300 bucks...awesome video.. Step by step..excellent!!
Not many videos showing this type of work so thanks you very much. Good Job , I like how you work! The only thing is never un-torque using a torque wrench.
So helpful! Helped me install my forward controls on my 2015 street Bob and reassured me that I understood the manual correctly. Only difference was my compensator was the screaming eagle version with the T70 Torx bit.
I was thinking about a chrome inner and was nervous about pulling it apart thinking i needed special tools getting my self all worked up, now i am going to pull the trigger and do it. Great video
Thankyou for making this video. My 2011 has the same shifter problem, and I just got the Harley oil seal kit that the dealer makes for the DIYers. So this video explains a lot of the questions I had on where stuff goes, and my main concern on socket size for the clutch basket
I have been saving this video for the day to finally tackle my transmission shift lever repair. Well, that day finally came thanks to being home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Though not exactly the same bike (2014 Ultra Limited), your video helped me tremendously with many of the steps along the way. Thank you so much for the effort you put into making this video. Awesome job! Thanks!
I was right there, doing the same thing on an '01 ultra classic. Shift shaft seal issue too. I went farther. Pulled the belt sprocket (hey! I'm there, right?) Did the mainshaft seal, the "quad seal" and that "square" o-ring behind it. I did all that thinking "I'm there...do it" But I f'd up...should have gone 1 step further...all I had to do was pull a few more bolts & the top trans cover...adjust the shifter pawl. FRACK! I won't be back in there for 20+K. Oh well, just saying, if you're in there...do it! Oh, & I like my manual primary chain adjuster...replaceble shoes 😁
Nice how to video! Good Idea to change out that tensioner while right there. With regard to the darker yellow color of the plastic on the old tensioner (as compared to the new tensioner); that type plastic tends to start yellowing and turning brittle after being subjected to heat, stress, and oil over time....real nice job....took me back to my shop classroom days!!
Great video,I have the same problem with my 2005 Road King. I thought I could do the job myself,now I know I can after watching your video.Thanks for taking the time to do it.
OUTSTANDING! Great job for the folks that have the ability to do the work. Good details and explanations are awesome. I just replaced the transmission main shaft bearing and (the bearing that's in the inner primary cover, just below where the starter mounts in the inner primary cover) inner race that's on the main shaft. That piece of Poplar worked perfect! I used a piece of pine that worked just great.
This video walked me through the whole process of replacing my drive belt this video was absolutely amazing left nothing out,saved me probably $800 in labor!!!!!
Great information, I will remove my primary cover in the next few days. I will use this info along with my manual to change out a clutch spring as well to check the various seals and gaskets while I'm in there. Thanks !!!!
That has to be one of the best tutorials I had the pleasure of watching. Thank you!!! I have the same slack on mine and I’m confident in doing the repair myself. Thx again!!!
Hi. Here in East Yorkshire in the UK I have a 2005 Road King Classic with same mileage and the same problem. Thanks for a clear and comprehensive go-to. Much obliged to you and many thanks from an old biker. Regards D.W.
this video is very informative i was able to adjust my clutch cable woth no issues now its time for me to reseal my primary and because of this video i will be able to and save myself about 800 in shop and labor costs plus the 100 just to get it in the shop. well done sir well done...
Great video very clear and precise description excellent camera views, I would like to see you do the drive belt replacement, again great video thanks for posting
Thanks for making this video!!! I just replaced my rear shift lever with great success! Because my bike is a 2000 Road King, a few things were different. But I got through it! Now for the Power upgrades! Lol!
Great tutorial video 👍👍👍👍👍 All I was looking for was how to change the primary gasket and I learned waaaay more than what I was looking for and that's never a bad thing. You're a great teacher and you explain everything very well, short and to the point. Subscribed and looking forward to referring to your videos for future repairs.
great video I need to replace the seal on my 07 Electra Glide. I replaced the shifter seal on my Goldwing that was a lot less involved than the Harley. but the Harley looks simple enough to do just a little more involved. Definitely will do it myself I don't trust shop. thanks for putting out this video.
I'm pretty sure by your naturalness in explaining, along with your complete grasp of the process involved in the work to be done, that you are a mechanical engineer. I was one too until I retired. When H-D said to first torque to 100 ft. lbs then back off one full turn, then re-torque up to 140 ft. lbs my guess is that when you initially torqued to 100 ft. lbs the threads on the bolt become just a little stretched and H-D understands that. They want you to do that. So then afterwards when you achieve the final required 140 ft. lbs specified torque it is a more accurate actual fitment to 140 ft. lbs. I just purchased my second new Harley-Davidson, a new 2015 FLHP Police bike. I have wanted one since age 6 way back in 1956. Dreams do come true. I still have my 1994 883 Sportster Deluxe and my 1976 T140V Triumph Bonneville 750. I did all the work on my Triumph myself and loved doing it. My Sportster never required any fixes or work other than changing the oil, lubing the cables and a new Halogen headlamp bulb. I still have these fine machines. That's why I purchased another Harley-Davidson.
Your guess was close... Yes I am an engineer, but EE rather than ME, and I am retired too. But it seems all engineers suffer from the same obsession about getting the technical details correct .
Great video. It's odd that you recorded this on 6/20 which was my Fathers birthday and I hit the Like Thumbs up at 414 which is the date he died 4/14 in the year of your bike 2010! Again, great video!
Gracias por este video amigo no tenia ni idea como hacerle. Tengo una 2005 touring que apenas compre y se rompió esa palanca.. Mil gracias y muy buen mecanico muy limpio.
