WARNING!!! DONT LISTEN TO THIS GUY! I ve been using kerosene to my DID chain for 55.000 klm and i have only tightened it once, It is still like new and seems ready to reach 100.000 klm. Even the manual suggests kerosene. Oh the Japanese dont know.

🤘

Gear oil …no crusty build up

Always seems to be contradictory advice on anything bike lol 😂. Some say don't use detergents.

Ktm vid tells you to clean it with diesel and oil mix.

HD Laidlaw did a review of top 10 Softails & Heritage was #1 😎👍

Can you send me the link where you got the turn signals?

Do u still got it

Thanks for the review,agree with the Harley vs Indian,like my oils separate as well.

I’ve been watching videos on the XR150L for two days in preparation of buying one. This was by far the most useful video I’ve run across. Thanks!! 👍

Hey thanks. Trying yo rtemove my air box hosrs off the carb intakes.

Picking up one just like yours in Australia on Fri Same colour We have some long roads over here so it should do the job well.

I bought a 2016 heritage with 9k miles on. Paid 11k for it in private sale. Way better than 26k for a new one !! Anyhow…it’s been great so far. Very comfortable bike mostly due to how you sit down into the frame more. I was more comfy on the heritage than a road king

My ford truck takes the same led lights as my Harley it’s great!

Can you put the link in the discription and send it to me, so i can buy it. Thanks.

While Honda’s hand guards look nice they are pretty flimsy for the money. I bought the JFG Hand guards from Amazon. Give good protection and are structurally sound with two points of contact to the handle bars protecting levers and your hands. Well made and worth the money at $35.

A quick clean with diesel, kerosene, jet fuel. Wipe dry/low pressure air dry. They lube with gear oil. Works great.

Thank you!

Help...just bought this bike. Only 200 miles. No first service yet. Problem, starts, idles fine but at 40 mph and it starts coughing and dying. I let go of throttle and it doesn't die and idles normal. Any help or suggestion greatly appreciated. Thanks

Every light on my Heritage is an LED

very good, thx

Thank you very much bro. I finished mine just now.

Do you have the link where you bought them? I just bought the same levers and they don't fit.

Nice video! What foot pegs did you get?

Thanks for the thorough review!

I'm with you brother. Going from Ultra Classic to a Heritage, HUGE difference. Much lighter, lower and more nimble. I feel much more confident on it.

I subscribed and look forward to watching what you do with this bike.

Way too much selfie. M'oughtaHere

I'll give you another tip on the carburetor. I ran dirt bikes with carbs for years. I taught my boys when they were done riding to shut off the gas (pet cock valve) and let the engine run until it died. That burns out all the gas in the bowl of the carburetor and prevents the varnish type build up that happens when gasoline sits in a carb. Hope the bike is a lot of fun for you. I've considered picking one of these up. They look fun.

I did this 2 days ago on my 2017 AT DCT with 3700 miles and I broke 2 screws on one of the pipes. I stopped the second one because it was more difficult to remove. I put it back with just the one screw for now. I think if I try to remove the other pipe more bolts will be broken. For the record, there was almost no dirt in the spark arrest.

Will the door make cold inside?

Why didn't they make it a 250?

Why don't they use a thermo coupler choke???? That's what old cars used. Never had to mess with a choke cable ever.

I got this bike a couple weeks ago. I agree with your tips. I`ve had about 20 bikes since `70 and never turned the gas off before. I don`t understand why this carb would need that but it may be true.

All great tips! 👍🏼 👍🏼

just got this bike last week , started riding again after many years. 71 yrs. old, makes me feel 16 again. great tips, thanks

Can you please elaborate on tip 1? I have never ever turned my fuel off and don't know why I would, unless I'm draining it of fuel for storing it over the winter. But you may have a good reason I'm not thinking of. Thank you.

Great video review. Love the bike, very old school, low tech, no nonsense. The rear brake is fine for a bike like this, use the front mostly and engine brake. Stomp that rear brake in the dirt if you want to skid. Not a lot of power but I like that, you can ride it hard and aggressive and it's not going to rocket you off the bike unless you are really careless. Agree on the footpegs, but that's no big deal to replace those. They made this bike for comfort and general functionality, it really does a little of everything. Not a performance machine but an all around fun utility bike. Got 2200 miles on mine and have enjoyed it thoroughly.

Couple of points: o-rings etc are used on motorcycle chains to seal the grease in where the link pins pass through the bushings. If you look carefully you can see the o-rings are located between the inner and outer side plates of the chain where the link pins pass through the bushing. The chain rollers are fitted over the bushings between the inner side plates and are free to move on the outer surface of the bushings. These rollers need lubricating to give maximum life to the chain and reduce wear on the sprocket. Some o-ring chain manufacturers say don't use kerosene, some say do. Some motorcycle manufacturer's workshop manuals and owners hand books also recommend the use of kerosene for cleaning. I have yet to see any evidence that paraffin/kerosene damages chain o-rings.

I had to laugh when you said take it to the dealer to adjust the clutch. Reason being is they jacked up my bike with a $400 dealer mark up and the sales guy said it was basically an assembly fee. Then the guy who does all the legal paperwork and tries to sell you the extended warranty and maintenance program laughed when I said I don't need that because I'm 61 and this is a small bore Honda that will outlive me and I know how to do my own maintenance. With that said I took the bike home in my truck w/out riding it at the dealership. When I did ride it the first time my throttle free play was over 1/2 inch when it was supposed to be 1/8-1/4 and my clutch and rear brake were also out of adjustment. Then the first time I oiled and checked my chain I notice the rear wheel wasn't even lined up straight. The only thing I'll go to the dealer for is the oil and whatever other parts I might need. At 1300+ miles I am loving the bike though. Good tips.

Good job, thanks.

Perfect tips and i thank you!

i am close to buying it!

I guess my dealer put the mirror on wrong on the clutch side. It’s spaced away from the end and forces me to put my hand guard on that side on the angled piece of handle bars it’s all off. Tried to loosen the screw for the mirror and it’s like they welded it on. Stripped it after using three different screw drivers and a drill with a Phillips that fit snuggly. Blah 😢

sweet! i’m in Ohio too and picked this bike up back in October. i’m loving it and looking forward to some consistent warm weather!

Did you take a screen out of the assembly, or just coat screws?

Hey good tips, I'm new to riding and have this bike, so these basic lessons are great.

THE FIRST HONDA THAT I KNOW OF THAT WAS BUILT IN CHINA BY THE SUNDIRO HOLDING COMPANY OF CHINA OR SUNDIRO HONDA OF CHINA, MOST PEOPLE TRASH CHINA FOR THEIR POOR BUILD QUALITY BUT WHEN THEY PUT THE HONDA BADGE ON IT PEOPLE WILL HAPPILY PAY 3K AND SOME CASES 4K FOR A CHINESE BUILT HONDA 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for the review. Looking for a bigger backpacking tent for me and the kids. How is it holding up?

which brackets did u us? pls
