Hi John, such good information as always...We all depend on you to give us great videos and info that we need. My only hope is that most or all HD tech are as careful and thorough as you are, when it comes to expert service and performing it while protecting our bikes from carelessness! Thanks SO much ya'll

@hogtirement5050 5 лет назад

Hi John, Just had mine done for my 2018 FLHTKL so it was great to see what actually was done for the recall.

@mcj28w 5 лет назад

I've used latex/rubber gloves my entire mechanical career. Why? Because when I went to MMI, way back in 1993, I had an instructor who was diagnosed with cancer due to the chemicals that seeped through his skin over the years. Ever since then I made it a part of my routine. (Not trying to be a downer, just advising the younger crowd). Great videos. I watch all of them. Keep em coming!

@Sardonicus 5 лет назад

Latex gloves also give way better dexterity than "mechanics" gloves. I also think they grip much better. I always get the 7 or 9 mil thickness.

@BrewCityRider 5 лет назад

Yep, 7 mil nitriles in the darker blue anytime I'm dealing with fluids.

@user-jz3vc9kd2j 5 лет назад

They know now that no amount of pork or alcohol is safe and they both cause cancer the same as hazmat chemicals seeping into your system.

@paulpatrie3068 5 лет назад

I use them too. Some of that stuff smells like crap. Especially for oil. Nasty...

@waynesiminski8268 5 лет назад

Thanks John. Looks like a pretty easy, straight forward fix. Hard part will be waiting for the dealer to get kits and get us in there to do it. Frustrating since I could do it myself in a couple hours.

@ericm9276 5 лет назад

thanks John for all the informative videos. New to Harley and motorcycles with a 2018 Lowrider. Having a blast riding and maintaining my new ride. I have a do-it-yourself mindset so your videos are very helpful. Just changed the fluids and ready for the next adventure.

@davidhodgins7122 5 лет назад

Thanks for this I bought my first Harley this year a 2018 Street Glide Anniversary. LOVE IT!

@dave32173 5 лет назад

John, you rock brother! Thanks for walking me thru the process. I just received the recall letter from harley, gotta get my 2017 road glide in.

@WolfStory 5 лет назад

Dude.. you rock. I'm a new Harley owner and have learned so much from your channel. Im a fan for sure. Keep on putting these vids out. The videos where you really 'get in there' and show us what you are actually doing on a bike are friggin awesome. Feels like im right there helping you with someones bike. Again... you rock!

@Boobtube. 5 лет назад

I don't own a harley, but I still enjoy his videos. I own the "other" american made bike. But it doesn't matter to me what you ride, as long as u ride.

@michaelkcaye1005 5 лет назад

Got on waiting list ahead of recall letter because of your other video. My dealer picked mine up Friday and had done Saturday morning and will deliver back to me. Painless

@TheGarlee 5 лет назад

Great informative video on the clutch recall. I have a 2018 Tri Glide and got the recall letter in December 2018 . Got the recall work done on the trike by the guys at the excellent Chester Harley Davidson dealership here in the United Kingdom. I absolutely love the Tri Glide

@alsims8280 5 лет назад

Good info John. My wife and still have over 100 bikes in front of us for the recall at our dealership in Oregon. We haven't experienced any problems, so we're still riding. Keep up the good work!

@kennethreynolds8 5 лет назад

Great vid JM, you are definitely the pro from what I’m seeing 👍🏾

@dccycleworks7243 5 лет назад

I just did one of these reckless yesterday and discovered a leaking engine sprocket shaft seal when I pulled the derby cover off......oil all of the shoes. I figured it was the tranny problem we have been swing but trans fluid level was good and engine oil was not even on the dipstick! Good video man I will be subscribing. I always like to see how other shops do stuff! Keep it up, from Oregon!

@richiemattingly7413 5 лет назад

Great videos thanks for showing us this recall procedure being done by you. It will let people see why and what has to be done to correct the problem

@IronCrossRacing 5 лет назад

Great video, showing and explaining in more detail all about this recall. Super informative and thank you for showing us and sharing the details. I'm on the list to have this done this Saturday so hopefully I can get this "hiccup" behind me and back to riding! You da man and keep doing your thang JM!

@Tony455HO 5 лет назад

As usual, great video and very informative. Love how you explain things. Cheers!

@shiptime8108 5 лет назад

Got my ‘19 FLHR yesterday from Orlando H-D. Love it so far. That new hydraulic clutch is gonna take some getting used to though. When it starts friction it’s almost fully engaged without much movement. Can’t wait to rack up the miles. Thanks for all the great videos!

@TheHarleyTech 5 лет назад

Orlando H-D is dope! Congrats!

@TheCountryCoach 5 лет назад

Love your tech videos. Thanks for the authenticity and humor too. Got my recall done last weekend. I actually like the feel of the clutch better. Probably just a "throwout" adjustment? I saw that listed on the service invoice. Assume that is what you were doing on the other side setting that.

@richardklein4805 5 лет назад

Thanks for the video, called my dealership and got their last one. Bike's in the shop today. Didn't know about the recall until previous video. 👍

@chrisphilhower6029 5 лет назад

John, Feel your Pain with the Weather. Left the house this morning it was 42F. Now its 39F. And Snow -13" changing to Rain tomorrow into Friday. Finally got my 1200 out for a quick 10 mile ride today. Saturday I changed the Engine oil and Filter (Bosch 3330), Primary Fluid and changed the Derby cover. Just broke over 3k miles. Summer was mostly a Rain Out. I use a KD Quick Draw. Its a Pneumatic Brake Bleeder for cars. Just dial the air pressure to 40 psi. Found it works good for Flushing. However, I always Manual Bleed it afterwards for Safety.

@mediablendertv 5 лет назад

This rain is bonkers, it's been dumping on NC for 2 weeks. Love the videos

@robertlumsden942 5 лет назад

hope to see you at FLMM. I am in Jacksonville and the weather looks good for it.

@LobzBKK 5 лет назад

Hi John Great video as always, Im due to have my recall done next week, The spares didnt arrive into the dealer untl end June. Nearly 1 year since the recall went out. BTW im in the UK.

@donaldremington3737 5 лет назад

Very well explained ! I have a 17 RK Spec. with near 19,000 miles & have not experienced any issues at all with this bike. BUT , I did get a letter. Over 30 years & 10 H Ds , I have never had a clutch issue. Lucky or good LOL

@BrandonM7777 5 лет назад

Yes, this weather SUCKS. Video is awesome, as always.

@gfunk63901 4 года назад

so impressive the skill involved in repairing a bike. I'm either impressed with people that work on their own bike or can't believe someone wouldn't just take it to someone that does this ALL the time.

@paulsullivan931 5 лет назад

Way cool vlog,thanks John looking forward to your next video👍😃

@timmurphy2825 5 лет назад

You can always go to the main HD website > Owners > Maintain Your Bike > Service Recall and enter you VIN number to pull up any recalls for that specific bike. John, thanks for taking the time to make an unbiased video for us owners who aren't the most mechanically inclined & concerned about the details when we get a recall notice. HD corp should be paying you for your service to the community.

@love4boost 5 лет назад

I wish there was a Harley dealership like yours here. My local dealer is always swamped. The only way to get work done the day you drop it off. Is go there at like 7am on Saturday even though it doesn’t open till 9 and get a good spot on line. I’m not sure how much more time I have left on my service package but once that’s up I’ll just work on the bike myself because I don’t like paying for labor. I usually don’t even buy those incentives but free maintenance for a period of time with how much I ride. It’s cheaper than doing the work myself. And one less headache since I work on my cars all the time.

@Misty3133 5 лет назад

Thanks! I’m on the list,parts are coming in slow!

@marielavarias1114 5 лет назад

Just got my recall done today at Oakland Harley Davidon and it feels good to get it out the way. I called the surrounding HD dealers around me and they all have a list they put me on. But Oakland Harley called me first. :)

@razzrasmussen5773 5 лет назад

Got the letter, calling today to schedule the fix. No issues with the clutch on my 18 RGS.

@jf675 5 лет назад

Thanks for the video John. Just had Lone Wolf HD in Spokane do mine. Fine folks. I wasn't having an issue but, what the hell. Thanks again. If you're ever up in Wa. I'll show ya around.

@ronetuley 5 лет назад

Awesome, great information John. 👍

@steveprice436 5 лет назад

Awesome video again. Just received my recall from H-D

@davesmail59 5 лет назад

My recall service turned up another problem with the actuator that Harley wasn't aware of. It was leaking at the bleeder screw. It sucked enough air to keep it from disengaging the clutch. Ended up getting the 5th revision of the whole actuator that 2019 bikes use.

@ericbarr2214 5 лет назад

Awesome job. Fascinating - better understand issue now and what's involved in repair... I'd feel good about letting you do highly unprofessional work on my bikes... you're too far away though. Thanks for posting "the fix" and how to keep the bike clean, and link for dial indicator... I've been wanting one of those. Hope that bike stuck out in the rain got covered...

@jeremysmith5220 5 лет назад

Thanks John Maxwell - you are the Jesus of the Harley. Got my 2018 Street Glide Special done last weekend up here in the hills of North Carolina

@robbierussell9536 5 лет назад

@ironsteed5766 5 лет назад

Thx..answers that question. Not as bad as I thought it would be to fix.

@robertgroves4293 5 лет назад

As usual, another very informative video. I converted you temperature to Aussie Celsius. 49 = 9.4 degrees and your wearing a t-shirt!

@BobsGT235 5 лет назад

Haha looks exactly like our weather in Alabama! Beautiful Glide! Glad you covered the pipes😃 Thanks for the video.....Ride hard or stay home😎

@brianthomas7530 5 лет назад

hey John, Im in the UK and no one has a clue about what's happening on this cvo clutch recall. Thelatest story is that Lucas was asked to produce a new seal for the 2ndary cylinder which turned out to be defective too. Harley sent them all back and Lucas have no gone into receivership. We've got massive waiting lists now for repair and apparently no replacement seals. Are the seals you're getting working correctly? Oh by the way you're the only guy who's even made an attempt to explain properly what the problem is and the fix. Great job, and a big English high 5 for the explanation. Keep it comming mate.

@tomlazzara6193 5 лет назад

@artemismusical 5 лет назад

my road king special was fixed yesterday. took about 1 hour.

@mudbud255 5 лет назад

Love the videos. Unfortunately I'm not a Harley owner yet but it's coming soon....

@TheBigpappa160 5 лет назад

John, I feel you pain about not being able to ride because of rain. It's been raining down here in SE Alabama since Sunday, but maybe, maybe get to ride tomorrow Thurs

@sboy1955 5 лет назад

Great info John. Thanks. So regarding the ‘clutch lift check’ - just for shitz and grins - you guys should check a few bikes before installing the fix just to see if the lift was in spec with the old actuator?

@govacho33 3 года назад

Thank you for the info.. I know this recall was 2 yrs ago, but I'm having a leaking problem which is causing pressure loss. I'm lossing clutch fluid but can not find a leak. Nothing on the floor or bike at all.

@jeffharper5201 5 лет назад

Great Video ! I’m number 14 on the recall I would prefer you do it thanks

@TheHarleyTech 5 лет назад

Just let them know that when you drop off!

@nomaddawhat7643 5 лет назад

Scheduled to get my ultra classic done tomorrow (Fri). I was told it would take about 1.5 hours. How long is it taking you? Thanks for all the videos. Really enjoy your channel.Update: It took about 3 hours for the job, including letting the exhaust cool down and washing the bike after the service was finished.

@chadvarnell1889 5 лет назад

For those (like myself) who have heard of, but don't really know about the Recluse clutch, can you give more info on what it is, how it works, and what advantages/applications it may be beneficial for? I knew they were common in racing dirt bikes. I don't really know what is up with them... Thanks, Keep up the good work!

@wayneberry1048 5 лет назад

Great video

@schaadon824 2 года назад

Thanks for the info.

@badkarma3059 5 лет назад

Moco sure loves clutch recalls. Had one on my 2014 CVO. Is it just poor materials of the parts supplier not making the part to spec? Great video as always man. looking forward to more!

@TheHarleyTech 5 лет назад

They have changed all the parts following a recall. The 17 clutch master cylinder is totally different than the 14-16 version (the one with the recall). They also changed the slave cylinder in 17. Now we’re here...

@Dave-sw2dm 5 лет назад

Got my recall letter. I am going to wait until the dealer does a few before I bring mine in.

@JDiddy 5 лет назад

New Harley owner here! Your channel is very informational! Love it! I have 2 questions: 1. Are you noticing any difference from the old slave cylinders to the new slave cylinders being put in for the recall? 2. Is it possible to turn my 2017 Road glide to a cable clutch system Vs having the hydraulic? Thanks

@shaunmilligan 5 лет назад

Really like your channel and videos. I've watched them all. Have you ever been to either of the Bike Weeks in Myrtle Beach, SC? I ask because I'm from MB and our Spring Harley Bike Week is pretty big. Thanks for all the vids?

@TheHarleyTech 5 лет назад

I haven’t been, yet.

@murphfee617 5 лет назад

Hey John, How difficult is it to change over a late 80's forward controls back to mids. On an Fxr? Thanks Man. And here's my Big ol dirty thumbs up.👍🤘🖒😎

@Sardonicus 5 лет назад

You mentioned a bleeder tool, but what do you think of Russell speed bleeders? I have them on my brake calipers and it's so much easier using those with their bleeder bags than using a hand pump or other methods.

@christopherprice978 5 лет назад

#17 on the list. Just waiting on the call.

@raynielson2253 5 лет назад

Hey man i dig the videos! Is there any way to bleed brakes with abs without taking it to the dealership?

@iancampbell6191 5 лет назад

You should do an out takes (bloopers) video with all the funny stuff you edit out of your videos..... just for laughs haha

@jaygorsuch2433 2 года назад

This is awesome. I have a 2017 roadking m8 107. You have anything on that hole side cover gasket replacement ?

@Ditch1970 5 лет назад

My bike had the recall and I got lucky because I was having work done already so they fixed it while it was in the shop. But the service manager told me there only getting 4 recall kits at a time and have a 100 plus bikes to fix. So kind of sounds like your shop having the same issue on repair kits.

@livelifetoday6086 5 лет назад

Well, guess I dont have to worry about doing the 2 year clutch fluid service on my 2017 SGS now lol

@robertgroves4293 5 лет назад

Now John needs to show us how to replace the fluid in a linked brake system.

@talkingrock7011 5 лет назад

heh dude its the beginning of winter weather isn't going to be our friend for a while thanks for the video

@gabbyhayes1568 5 лет назад

Man I hope my tech is as careful and mindful as you, lol.

@ChrisLonsberryMedia 5 лет назад

I'm still pissed about H-D declaring the front master cylinder as 'obsolete' for my '13 DWG. Well.. it's not so much _that_ as it is the replacement part being backordered for a month and being unable to order the old part because "it's obsolete". Effectively, they decided I didn't need my primary mode of transportation for a month. Thanks MoCo! The good news is that it's just the plunger not returning correctly and my brake lights stay on unless I manually push the lever back. But come one, man! Don't STOP shipping a part if you can't supply the new one.

@thebeardedyorkshireman8368 5 лет назад

Any idea if this recall will help with getting the bike into gear and in to neutral?

@FlipandTheBlueMule 5 лет назад

Im 150th on the list for this recall.... Brandon HD Brandon FL.... they say they are getting 4 at a time...but I have had No Issues with mine 2017 FLHXS

@Richfiekd 5 лет назад

Hey brother like the videos. I've got an off topic question. I changed the windshield in my 2018 street glide special i may have cross threaded the right screw a Harley Davidson dealership in Flint Michigan told me I have to replace the inner faring is that true or can the copper piece be tapped out? Thank you for your expertise.

@dougfresh1341 5 лет назад

Love the greasy videos. Hate winter. But rode to work. 20's in Nebraska. Harley recommends changing oil every 1500 miles in cold. Are they wanting more Syn3 sales??

@ejdtm 5 лет назад

Great explanation! Any thoughts of revisiting the transfer issue as it’s happening more and more? I personally know a few (including me) that lost over 12oz out of the trans.

@TheHarleyTech 5 лет назад

I have a bike that’s being tested now, if there’s anything to report, I will!

@stevenloretero9079 5 лет назад

Wouldn't it be a kick in the pants if this recall miraculously fixed the transmission fluid migration issue too?! I did a part by part comparison between the 2016 and 2017 transmissions and I found the actuator is a new part number for 2017. Just about everything else (gears, shafts, bearings, covers, etc) are the same between 2016 and 2017!

@TheHarleyTech 5 лет назад

I thought the same thing...

@mahlercdo3 4 года назад

Hey john really dig your channel quick question i have a 2017 srreet glide standard w/o abs is my bike under the recall i would check the vin but the bike is in storage thanks in advance

@JohnDoe-yj9tj 5 лет назад

Hey John, im looking for a quality set of feeler gauges....any hints/ideas?

@tonyouimet1648 5 лет назад

Does this have anything to do with the trans/primary migration thing going on

@tx699 5 лет назад

I have a 2015 flhx,has a hydraulic clutch how will i know when my clutch starts to wear our just curious

@kwlambright 5 лет назад

I had the recall performed and seems like the shifts now are clunkier than before like my 2000 road king but it still shifts good.

@patricktilma3790 5 лет назад

Same thing with mine!

@bigjosh04 5 лет назад

I change my master cylinder cover and spilled out some DOC 3 can I just add more?

@bobjohnson2920 2 года назад

My 2019 Roadglide Ultra just lost all pressure on my clutch lever. I bled the system with fresh dot 4 and no luck. Thank god I wasn't riding it, It was working great when I parked it.

@zippahead 4 года назад

Question; I bought a VTwin hydraulic trans cover for my 92 FXSTC. They have two one piece pushrod lengths .......25.25 and 25.5. Which one should I install???

@000polsris000 5 лет назад

Hey John,great video as usual. I'm a Mercedes tech, and I know Mercedes is pretty particular about what information gets out in the wild. How does Harley feel about your videos? Have they contacted you? Just curious. Oh, about recalls, just one word. Takata. I know your pain brother.

@TheHarleyTech 5 лет назад

They haven’t contacted me. Curious how this one will go over.

@charlessexton1719 5 лет назад

Are there any recalls for the 2012 dyna fat bob? Mine has the 103 ci engine with the stage 1 screaming eagle kit in it.

Mr. Bullet I haven't had a problem on mine yet knock on wood and im at 11500 miles

@davypig571 5 лет назад

Mine was done right away since it was already in the shop for oil migration. I’m glad the recall was done but whatever they did (I was told a plug) did not fix the oil prob but made it transfer quicker:( Anyone know of an actual fix yet?
