What Does Harley Corporate SAY & DO About Oil Temps? 

Good video! The guy who answers questions at the dealer, used to work at the Deli down the street, a week ago. The quality of some of these employees is getting bad. I've been lucky for years, the dealers I've dealt with were really good, but those days are gone. I travel 80 miles to deal with the last one by me, that is still decent.

I ALWAYS RUN A OIL COOLER ON ME HARLEY! AN I LIVE IN 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 ! PS LIKE YER SHOW'S 😎😎😎

One more thing. I wanted the oil cooler guard but the parts book said you can’t use the fan and the guard. I had replaced my cooler two years ago and already had a few dings in the new one. So I bought some black gutter leaf guard from Lowe’s and made a guard for my stock shroud. It looks good too.

HD also makes a rear cylinder fan.

Thanks for keeping up the research.

Thanks for consistently putting out good info!

Love DK Customs I get all my Harley parts from you guys! You guys should seriously consider designing and creating your own exhaust that would be so sick me and many other would get one in a hot second! Also y'all should make your own Cams and Big bore kits that would be so sick!

Love the channel and plan on supporting !!!

I have a 22 road glide st and put in the assisted oil cooler, that and with luv juggs I’m cool as a cat in the heat 😁

Love the videos and the products. Have several on my Electra glide to cool it down, tank lift, extra oil cooler, oil filter relocate, catch can,and air cleaner, along w doing the free stuff to help. Thank you for what you do to keep us informed.

All I know is is that my bike runs a lot better when it's cold outside. And runs a lot worse when it's hot out. So a oil cooler makes a lot of sense.

2019 Tri Glide here and being in South Florida I always do two things, aside from removing the Catalytic Converter (doing a full stage 1), which is about rider comfort and performance, it 1. I install Love Jugs on the trike and 2. I change the oil religiously every 3000 miles. We can blame the EPA for all the heat issues.

Hey, it’s me again, I have watched every one of these videos believe it or not and there’s two things that come out in every one of these videos and that is hard numbers…… the reality here is most of these motorcycles don’t have any way of telling us hard numbers without an actual oil temperature gauge. This is something you guys need in your parts catalog is a dipstick oil temperature gauge. I looked long and hard I found two or three purchased two. The first one I purchased was a piece of garbage, and they are all ridiculous in expense….. the second one I found actually works very well with the exception of the fact that it builds a little condensation inside if you use it during rain or humid days. I found it on eBay and I think the price tag was around $125 and it’s worked very well and I will be taking it to the desert with us on our 16 day hop this year. The only drawback that I could see is, if you are using your dipstick as a place to vent the engine case then you will need to relocate that vent in order to use it. I did essentially what Trask did to their cover, and I also vented my breathers to atmosphere, ran both of those down below the bike so that I could use my dipstick for a temp gauge. Again, if we have hard numbers and no way to actually look and see those hard numbers, it’s pretty pointless really because there’s no way that the side of your jeans is going to give you the same as a temperature gauge just my two bits.

PV4 read 290 in heavy Fla traffic, 390 head temp. Nice if DK would build a fan that would last longer than HD. Great video. Thanks,

Just wanna thank you guys. For that video. I have a 21 Street Glide. And a 97 sportster xl1200 custom The funny part is I clicked on it before I looked at upload date. As I'm watching i started to wonder how long ago you had put this out. Not but a few seconds later you featured it in your video. Stating it was 275.95 and they were on back order. All true however I purchased/ordered mine February 3 there was a 3.00 price jump. From then till now Witch was a cross the board simultaneously. I also had purchased the cool flow rear fan that sits just below the mid air deflectors I was always worried about it getting to hot. Just cause the stuff I know and things I've heard anyway done a lot of modifications over the winter season. Got about 4or5 things I'm going to need digital tech to take care of. The last part being that oil cooler fan. Which will be here by April 8. Come July or so. I'll let you know what I think

Aww man, not much Evo parts. And I was sold on an air cleaner.

You are correct that the fan is out of stock. I checked both local Dealers and HD’s online store. They say it will be back in stock by April. I wanted to get one before Daytona Bikeweek this year and found one in stock at a Dealer 80 miles north of me. I installed it myself and took it to my local dealer to flash it. with tax the fan was a little less than $300 and the flash was $60. Which is 1/2 hour labor. A lot of money but I hope it’s worth it. BTW: they had two of the rear cylinder fans on the shelf too.

I think when people say it’s normal to run at 325 plus they are confused and talking about head temp cause there is no way people are like oh ya 325 plus for the oil lol.

Guys I am kind of freaking out with these temp videos, because - I am an old fan of the channel, I have the blk 2019 tri glide w/131 big bore. I have the oil relocation kit and the external breather and the torque thing in the pipes. The longest ride I do repeatly is a 5 hr ride to the coast of NC. My bike may not be getting hot enough?? It will never get over 208. Do you think I may have over cooled it?? As always great Video.

Kevin and Dewayne great work. I have a 2018 Electra Glide that appeared to me to be running extremely hot. It wasn’t until I purchased a VH FP3 that I was able to determine how hot. The sensor which I believe is on the back cylinder towards the intake manifold was measuring between 290 and 355 F per the FP 3. The bike is oil cooled. Do you know what is an acceptable temperature for that sensor?

HD should add any measure necessary to keep these engines cool... they sell more bikes than any other manufacturer. So I guess they see no need. Baffles the mind. Great video :-)

Sound is better on this video.

👍

2022 Triglide, when I shut it off, the fan always runs for a few seconds. Even in cold weather. Is this normal? My 2014 ultra Limited the fan rarely ran. Thanks

Thats with the newer bikes. Evo's don't run that hot. If they do you got a problem. My 95 Heritage ( using Syn oil) runs at 180. Got over 97,000 miles and haven't had any motor problems.

What’s the best way to measure the heat on a touring road glide ultra?

😎👍

Great video! I had my 110 hit just under 300° a few times after the new build and I had it taken in for warranty work 5000 miles later and they found my front piston had scored the front cylinder and needed replaced. They said it got too hot. Needs new crank due to binding and new pistons/cylinders. Looking into getting a fan assisted oil cooler from Untracool..

No thank you hardley, I will stick to Jagg oil coolers & their fans for a lot cheaper & top notch.

Harley really needs to get over the air cooled thing.

When 95% of people are now RUB's, Corporate bikers and posers, those are the same kinds of people that end up working at the dealerships. Like with cars, in the 70's and earlier, CAR GUYS worked at dealerships. Now, its just businessmen. Harley is rapidly going on down that same path.

the answers on harleys web page are not harley employs anybody can answer them

Its painful to watch Harley diehards realize their brand no longer serves or represents them.
