These guys sent me NEW 1250 KIT ,even i am overseas and failure i had is not their fault! Love your work. Thanks from Milos (Serbia) and Nenad (Switzerland). Greetings and all the best!
I love to bring my 1996 883 to these guys and have them walk me through a complete top to bottom and everything in between rebuild using their 1275 kit
Hammer Dan, YOU ARE THE MAN!! I've learned more from you than from the "Hardly-Descriptive" service manuals!!! Unfortunately I'm on Sportster #3 and it's a hunk of junk like it's predecessors. (insert insanity clause).
Another good video Dan. If I had to I would like to do it myself, but so many expensive special tools for a one time job. Think I'd take your advice and let the local dealer do it for me.
Hey Dan, do you have a video of fitting the belt sprocket to the Fifth gear? It’s a real PITA getting that sucker tight and I wondered if you have any tips on how to do it if you don’t have the special tools to lock the sprocket in place.
Hey Dan. We spoke on the phone about a week ago about my 05 sportster. My name is Dan too. I fixed the bad running issue but now have a rattle from the engine once it gets warm. I ended up ordering the 1275 kit and 570 cams but im wondering what you guys charge to do what you did in this video
I´ve owned 10 year my sportster 883 2003 hugger, now my bike has 120K miles on and I wonder at what mileage avareage this bottom end rebuilt should be done about? thanks for up luod the video...
Just a curiosity question, how much difference is there between Sportster engine in this video, and the later rubber mount engines, I thought it was only the motor mountings were different.
Hello Hammer..............I have a 1975 XR750 engine undergoing rebuild. Can you recommend a manufacture and grade of bearings that you would recommend for the cam shafts? Thank you
Hi, just wondering what motor size and year does this flywheel comes from? I have a 2002 XLH883 and my flywheel ONLY HAVE 2 TIMING MARKS: TDC (wide line) and 20º advance (2 dots). I recently bought a Dyna 2000i ignition module and the only way for adjusting it dynamically (with a timing gun light) is using "the one dot" mark that is 35º advance. Thanks so much in advance and congrats for all your video works.
I would recommend static timing it, not dynamic timing it. It's just a very imprecise process to use a timing light on a Harley. For one thing, the uneven firing interval confuses some lights. Plus the dual fire causes extraneous flashes. And just being able to control the rpm well while looking in the hole is very difficult to do with any precision. And you have the choice of either getting a lot of oil in your face, or using one of those clear plugs that makes it that much more difficult to see. So instead, we recommend a careful job of static timing. We think it comes out closer for the majority of guys, us included.
It would be super handy to have a list of the HD part #'s for the Bearings, Races, etc. Im doing a case swap and still pretty "newb" at this, so trying to track down the part numbers have been time consuming.
i appreciate all these videos a lot, but i will say, on this one, i dont like how you basically skim over pinion bearing mic-ing and pressing etc, and then spend 5 minutes wiping on gasket sealant... i know a lot about car engines, very little about motorcycle engines, so getting reference for the fiddly stuff is the main reason im watching... just for feedback. i do like the series of videos though
Hi Mario We will try to put together a video on just making the bearing measurements, that way we can spend some time on it and the video wont get to long.
@@HAMMERPERFORMANCE thanks buddy. i hope it didnt sound douchey. as ive been going through your whole list of videos, i am getting less and less hesitant to crack one of these open
