Sure, I can try to help you out. I need to know the year , make and model of your bike an what exactly the problem you are having. Like, it doesn't start, doesn't crank, etc. Be as specific as you can. Thanks for watching and let me know the particulars. Have a great day.

Hey Benny, I jsut realized it was you. So, I know it is a 95 Sportster.

Hey Benny, I will psot a video later this ornign for you to look at.

@@bennygregory2629 th-cam.com/video/adATZepwzDY/w-d-xo.html There ya go. Simple system really. You basically have 3 wires going to the starter. One battery cable, the supply wire to the circuit breaker which goes under the battery cable at the starter and the line coming in from the starter relay which goes at the very right side bottom of the starter, it clips in. anyway, good luck and hit me up if you need anyone help.

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.

GOod morning Benny, yeah, I can here today at some point. Trying to figure out how to program my little camera now, but it is pissing me off. So, I should just stikc to what the hell I knwo what to do. Give me a little while. I will do the primary chain and clutch adjsutment as well. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend.

Waiting on it to download, and then I will edit it. You got a lot more than just an oil change coming up. I am waiting to do the primary, as I will have to pull the transmission to check for a bent shift fork. It is skipping slightly in first gear. The bike had been wrecked once, and then my son dropped it to avoid a car. So thinking a bent shift fork. But you got a lot of advice coming up in the video. It will probably be later today or tonight. I really appreciate your comments and watching. If you need any special advice on anything, except personal stuff feel free to ask. Thanks again.

@russellbarron6775 ty sir I'm glad someone finally has a video on a 95 1200 sportster

this message was needed because my microphones had some interference or are just crappy.

Thanks Sli have a great weekend.

Thanks for wathcing. Have a great weekend.

Pretty much. HD had problems with the old tympanian regulators overcharging. That's when we started adding an extra ground wire with star washers. Warranty issues went down drastically. It seems as if the ground doesn't exist to some people. They are completely lost when explaining voltage drop or even what a rectifier actually does. Thanks for your input. Appreciate it greatly.

The crossover does increase torque. Slightly. Just like a Ln H or X pipe on a v8. But true duals do sound better. Have a great weekend.

Yep. Have a great weekend coming up.

t about 5 lbs of pressure with no oil light on,, whcih is perfectly normal for a Harley. Some bikes only have 2psi at idle.

It needs to be idling around 1000rpm. Otherwise you are going to damage the crank. a single pin crank needs some speed so it doesnt beat itself to death. When i hear a bike idling like this i laugh and walk away. This isnt a knuckle head.

@mauser8515 I'm pretty sure it's s sportster. Last year for knuckleheads was 47.😃

@@mauser8515 Thanks for the r; a reminder to let the bike warm up before shooting a video so that it does indeed idle at 1k rpm which it does when warm. Good idea for a video though, again, yet another video on setting idle speed and doing an idle drop to set the air/fuel screw. Damn fie idea. Thanks

@@russellbarron6775 Yeah you said it was cold outside which makes sense, but I would choke it to crank it, then half choke it to just to keep the rpm around 1000. I warm my Harleys up by riding them and since i live way out in the sticks every ride is 30min minimum. Ive never had milky oil in any of the cases, and no abnormal wear or knocking in my Evos, Big Twin Evos, TC88 and TC96 bikes.

Yeah, that was a customer's bike,. He wanted it back stock, so he asked for a new module. I told him we could bypass the system. It reminds me oof the Magnetti Marelli system for the fi. Mm makes great products however, the fine folks at HD wanted to design their own system and have MM make it. Mm told them it wasn't going to work very well as HD designed it. That info is from an insider at HD corporate from years ago. SO i m guessing that they did the same thing with Boshch, which also makes great products. HD probably designed it and just used Bosch to actually manufacture it. Go figure. Tahanks for watching.

The plastic was deteriorating in that tank. He kept getting coninual carb leaks. Caseells epoxy did ac fabulous job. Thank you.

Yeah so.

Stock 1200 is 39 tooth front. 883 uses a 37 front.

After they replaced that oe the current one has worked flawlessly. it is just one of those things that happens. Thanks for the comment. Have a great weekend.

Thank you.

Thankbyou Bud.

They are loud. I blew up both microphones there.

I just use an egg and s little milk. There are no real proportions. Just not watery.

@@russellbarron6775 thank you can't wait to try it

Thank you.

Now I just need to make the other head the same.😂

Thanks for watching. Glad it helped.

It was my pleasure ro be able to do it. It was actually fairly well received Thanks for 👀. The only Strang or disconcerting thing was that ot had zero watchers under 45. The majority being 55 and up. But that is to be expected I guess.

Thanks slim

Thanks. Truing to work on the filming part. Not easy when you are used to just doing stuff. Anyway, thanks for reminding me.

Thank you for wstching.i really appreciate it. Have a speedy weekend.

Thanks for watching. Truthfully, it was a pleasure making it. I really do miss those guys. They truly were the greatest generation.

Thanks for watching. I have never been there. I distinctly remember reading an article about the weight of the packs and what provisions were packed for each soldier. I was in the Infantry at the time I read the article, which was published by the US Army. Truthfully it made me feel kind of puny, after complaining about how much weight I was carrying in my pack. So, They each got issued 4 cartons of "Lucky Strike" cigarettes, along with rations, ammo, bandages, etc. Evidently, quite a few of them drowned before even making it to the beach. anyway, thanks again and have a great week.

You know you lose track of time, as it were. I tend to try to relate stories like this , whih seems to be more and more the older I get. I have alots of stories about "old guys and gals too." But those are for another day. Thanksfor watching,g reatly appreciated.

Thanks for watching. Greatly appreciated.

Noother content really that you need to know about. I would highly suggest that you remove th oil tank and completely flush it out. You will also need to remove the oil filter adapter nut, and the ol pump check valve that sit behind it, which I do have a video on. I owuld also suggest pulling all ol lines and replacing with new 3/8" oil line. There is another video in whicch I partially pulled the engine to repair the mounting bolts for the rea case mounts that the previous owner stripped out. I will get those links to you after I had coffee. It is like 4am here. Anything else I can think of I will link. If you have any questions you can e-mail me with them. I'm retired/disabled so I have a lot of time on my hands. I really appreciate you watching.

Here are a few of them. oil filter adapter and check valve studio.th-cam.com/users/videoxF8XrFnWpgY/edit This oe is ore of an install thing about engine mount procedure and torquing(hope you ifind that torque wrench). th-cam.com/video/s-3zOe8JkfE/w-d-xo.html oil line routing th-cam.com/video/s-3zOe8JkfE/w-d-xo.html Filling and priing oil pump th-cam.com/video/frdTbwZxs-A/w-d-xo.html I'm sure there are more. as you get to them along the way, just give me a shout with any questions or concerns. Think of htis as a learning experience. There are little tips and tricks to this stuff that is what youtube is all about.

Will check out these links Russell, cheers. Appreciate that. I’ll drop you an email at some point👍

It still gets to me. I think of every one of those boys storming the beaches not knowing where to go or what to do. As they watched others getting moved down or drowning. You all had it far worse for far longer. Thanks for watching, appreciate it greatly. I still hold poppy day in November in great reverence.

Thank you. Greatly appreciate.

Much better power than the old tired Briggs and the added bonus of electric start.

Electric start and 10 more hp than the tired old Briggs that was huffing oil out the breather. Thanks.

Thanks for watching. I do on occasion wander about aimlessly, but try to stick to the task at hand. Meaning you might get a story in the mix along with the task at hand. But the story would be relevant to what is going on.

Maybe. But having done well over 100 of these exact same thing over the past 35 plus years both with a dyno and a flow bench we will see. The first one I ever did. Never saw a dyno and best run of its life was 11.03 in the 1/4 @ 119 mph. But that was 1991 on an 1100 covered to 1200. Definitely not with crappy SE stuff. It will be tuned at the best place for tuning, at the strip. Thanks for the input.

​@@russellbarron6775 Ahh, the butt dyno. Yeah it should be around 130 horsepower.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply

No problem at all. Thanks for watching. Shoot me a line if you need anything.

Thanks, bike was fixed and is long gone down the road. Appreciate the info though.

@@russellbarron6775 Understood, though IMHO it's a bit of a pity, as - those more-frequent-than-desired charging system issues for this particular Suzuki bike model and a relatively small tank aside - the bike is really good for touring; it's really big and strong and comfortable enough for two fully packed up to do 500 miles per day. Especially the T model (yeah, T = touring) with the super-large windshield, which makes riding in rain conditions much more pleasant and also protects really well against wind. But I can also relate - as a VL800 / C50 rider of 12+ seasons (I bought my C90T last year), in the days ahead, I'm going to check out a 2013 VL800, only for the purpose of me wanting to have a problems-free "light" bike for daily commuting, local easy rides but also perfectly capable of doing longer ones (e.g. to neighbouring countries, like Austria or Slovenia) - without the necessity to deal with the weight of the C90(T) and stop every 130 miles to fill up.

Thanks for watching. Greatly appreciated.
