That newly installed fuel level indicator float didn't work when you first reinstalled it, did it? You need to finagle those wires a bit. They're messing with your mojo

And why wet sumping is bad? After you start the bike, the oil start to circulates.

How very Harley, dismantle half your bike for a service part…. Cheers, need to change my filter to.

Thx for sharing. and I have a question. My 08 Sportster Nighter error code is P0261 which is fuel injector. Do you think I have tp replace the fuel filter and fuel pump as well like you did here.? I think the fuel inject is bundled in fuel pump and fuel filter which was the broken part in your video right?

Would this go for a 2021 Street Bob as well?

Great info now I know I never want to mess with mine. Lol

If you want to make it shine like you’ve never seen before, look for a can that looks like the shape of charcoal lighter fluid, it’s called LIQUID GLASS! I’ve tried everything under the sun. But you need to use one of those auto buffers you can get at Walmart or auto parts places etc. not real high speed, but dual action, and use the terry cloth bonnets. It will take out light scratches and swirl marks in clear coat. That’s what I used on high end sports cars and my bike. Let it bake in sun when buffed clean, no paste residue. Then pull it in the shade to cool off to ambient temperature. Then use your wax or ceracoat of choice.

I know this was 3 years ago. So I am curious, did this solve your problem?

Use a magnet

You’ll benefit from following the clay with a compound and polish for a more perfect finish

Great video! I will be doing this on mine now. Thank you for sharing 😊

You forgot to include the wires to ziptie, wires could prevent the fuel level sensor move freely.

Any chance i can do the same on my 2010 883? Wet sumping after a few days sitting .

Is it possible that a new motorcycle can have an oil leak because the oil pressure valve is stuck and the pressure inside the engine is pushing oil out via shaft seal or gaskets?

I've had a 2000 883 for about 12 years now. The thing wet sumped from day one. It wasn't too bad if I rode it everyday, but let it sit for a few days, go for a run, there'd be oil all over the place. Six years ago I had a little get off that left me in hospital for a while. The bike sat for 2 years before I got around to fixing it. When I looked in the oil tank there was nothing. That got me looking at the oil system diagram, and that got me to suspecting the check valve assembly. I ordered a new ball & spring. OEM parts cost about $12 AU. I haven't had an issue with it since, except the bike's still a heavy spitter and doesn't really like having the oil filled up more than halfway through the safe zone on the dipstick lest it start dumping stupid amounts of oil into the airbox. I measured the new spring against the old one, and the old spring was about 3/8 of an inch shorter than the new one. I guess it had taken a set & that was the problem.

Do you need to get in that plate there when replacing clutch lever?

Do you do all this while in Neutral?

just ordered one from quantum fuel systems a complete drop in, everything new.

Why isn't it made like a normal chrome plated bearing. Cheap plstic rubbish.

This is a fabulous vid and I just used it as a training vid to get ready to pull the pump from my XR1200 and replace both filters and figure out why the float is hanging up and showing false low fuel warning all the time. Thanks a ton my friend.

Ethanol fuel is hydroscopic so do not leave small fuel tanks full of it for a long time. If storing an EFI motorbike filling with pure petrol is a very good idea. OTOH knowing this can get you bargains on used motorbikes when they won't start.

I can’t imagine what HD would charge to do this. Almost seems easier to just replace the whole (expensive) fuel pump assembly. Too much grunting and groaning going on. But well done anyway.

Thanks for the video, I noticed my tank was empty one day after sitting for a bit this winter, I didn't realize it could be a problem.

I take it you called Drag Specialties in order to get the correct parts and numbers to your model? I looked on the site it is doesn't list those parts.

My low fuel light stays on despite a full tank, and blinks as well. No issues with fuel delivery and the bike runs great. Safe to assume its the fuel level sensor thats gone bad???

Hey, watched your video and find it very educational! This is my learning tool "how to" thingie and has been for long time. Great job on the filter and level sensor. I have a 14 1200XL and I s'pose it is very similar to this unit. My light doesn't stay on as this one does but it comes on pre-maturely like still have 2-2.5 gallons remaining. So, I want to change my level sensor. I have only 8500 miles on it. Would you recommend changing the filter as well or no? I will get the gasket for the assembly to insure no leaks. Thanks for your hard work in putting this video together for all to learn how to save the extra cash. Am going to do this the first chance I get so I won't be gasing up too soon on my rides! Happy cruisin" everyone!! God bless and Jesus loves you, John 3:16-17 (KJV) Lonnie ~~~~ :o)

Just found this. Like your sissy bar set up. I got almost same set up and like it so far. I could go all out with a road king or glide and panniers but I have my Slim and will make use as is. I’ve had a few bikes with saddlebags, panniers and they work well! Just going try this set up for a bit.

Bro hope you fine from where i can get fuel sensor

I haven't managed to get a price for the D/S fuel filter here in UK, i did price one from H/D it was over £130 ($157) How can that be? I'll get a price for a D/S one after the weekend.

Your video is great, very informative, but your cameraman is a nightmare, you talk about stuff and he's looking elsewhere, you show parts but he can't get them in shot.

What’s it dyno ? I have this bike w the 117 but have the D&D bobcat and did 124hp 124.9ft-lbs

Any information on 07xl1200c internal breather valves umbrella valves Rough crankcase ventilation will this effect a dyno tune

Get this man a camera!

i go over The Cure for wet/ sit sumping in my latest video.

I took the pump out my Heritage to change tanks. That was a pain in the ass too. Why don't Harley just make the hole a little bigger??????????

The Harley mustache engine guard would look great on your scoot.

Straight forward thank you

Shop vac reduced might of help ya to...thank you for the education!

I bet if you hit that starter that ball would have popped right out lol.

Looks frustrating enough to wanna try. Smart tip about the dirty fuels from every crappy gas-hole across America along I-40. Guarantee my scooter needs a filter change. Thank you for the great video.

Thanks you so much! I greatly appreciate the video. It helped as this really isn't covered in the manual.

A magnet works very well

How much did the kit run roughly I see all the parts online but I need the same kit you got

Thanks for sharing this I video. I did have a wet sumping issue unfortunately replacing the plunger did not solve the issue i have had for some time: have a 1998 883 that keeps blowing out the oil filter gasket if it's colder than around 68f. When i checked the oil pressure with an external oil pressure gauge it showed more than 60psi. i have checked for clogged lines however they seems fine. Replaced oil filter twice with original filter and also made sure it's torqued to spec. The plunger seems to be opening as it should and not sticking or anything. So far i have concluded that it the issue seems to be somewhere after the oil filter. As of now i have absolutely no idea on what to do next. Any tip would be much appreciated.

My new fat Bob 114 has 37 miles. The clutch feels like it drags to me.. when you start it with the clutch in, it wants to move a little. Is this normal? Also, the starter seems to struggle more than I'm used to. It has stalled on me at a couple lights and it feels like this could be causing it. Unless it's a break in issue

I hope you never have to go back in there. Red thread locker lol it will be a fight

#1 Clean Your Check, #2 Get An Inline Hose Barb Non-Return Valve To Splice Into Your Tank Return Line From The Scavenge Pump. ( make sure you get it in the right way, arrow towards the oil tank; and in the return line from your scavenge pump )

My xr1200 jerking at low gear & low speed, is it cos of fuel filter?

what did the kit cost you for what you replaced.

gravity feed and lose all the electronic bull shit. harley screwed up when they went to injection. more money for people to spend that is what it is all about. GREED
