I had one idiot at the parts department at my local Harley dealership try and tell me that the M8 motors run better with syn 3 oil then amsoil. He said the twin cam motors were better with amsoil and the m8 motors are better with syn3. He also said that they were rebuilding m8 motors with only 25,000 miles on them. I still went with amsoil. I’ve been running that oil in my last 3 bikes and zero issues.
Sorry I missed it. Great informative video, and the bike is beautiful . I'm looking forward to seeing you do a video about the neck bearings . Thanks for sharing with us all Dr.Harley ✌️
My DCT Wing needed its first service at 4k. The next is 12k. Oil changes only so far, and Honda says change the oil every 8k and oil filters every 16k. It will probably only last 500k though.
All my coolant leaked out hose ripped. I replaced the hose. Should I be okay just re-filling it and wait till it bubbles down then refill again? No special tools needed?
@@DrHarley Hey brother someone else told me this following message, what ya think? Hello, The system is not gravity fed. If you have air in the system it really needs to be pressurized to push the air through. Running the pump is not enough pressure to get trapped air out. This is the official Harley statement, I really don't have enough experience with it to advise otherwise. I guess it would depend where in the system the leak was and how long it was leaking for.
@rustnation2651 I know on the older twin cooled motors that is a true statement. However, with the 24's it's a gravity system. You would just need to run the water pump to help circulate
No clutch adjustment? I took mine in for the 1k and my clutch went from perfect as far as the friction zone being very soon to release to now I have to almost let the clutch lever completely out to get to the friction zone. Hoping I can adjust it back to what it was.
When you power on the motorcycle. When you see the warning screen come on. Than hold the power button on the radio. You will get a menu scroll down till you see reset milage. Select that. All done.
My dealer for my 1k cross thread my transmission stick and broke it. I had to buy a new one buy steel one and make sure you get the o ring. (Don’t come with it).
@@DrHarleyyes it really upset me especially because I went against my better judgment and let them do the first service. I typically do my own. 23 street glide

To each there own. Some people have their beliefs, and that's OK.
Awesome meeting you today at Gettysburg Bike Week. Thanks for the swag! Good talking with you
It was awesome meeting you as well.
Great video. I'm about 320 miles away from my 1k. Such a fun bike. Loving my 24 RoadGlide
I hope this video is a help to you.
Couldn't catch it live, but good info thanks. I'm going through a quasi learning experience. I miss my shovel!
Thank you for taking the time to watch. I always appreciate you. Much love and Respect
No, thank you!
Are you looking to adopt? Laughing 😃
@gremlyn1439 LOL. NOPE. Sorry.

@@markman7 that's some serious service intervals.
Same with my Triumph
500 mi
5000
1000

You are correct
@@DrHarley Thank you so much. I thought some special tools or apparatus would be needed. Glad it works the same as other radiator coolant systems.
@rustnation2651 it does. However it is a pain in the backside to burp all the air out. Take your time.

Yes there is a clutch adjustment. I didn't have the work sheet. However. I always adjust a clutch in every service.
How do you reset the service mileage for the 1K?
When you power on the motorcycle. When you see the warning screen come on. Than hold the power button on the radio. You will get a menu scroll down till you see reset milage. Select that. All done.

WOW the dealer crossed threaded it and you had to buy it? That sucks.

@ryanpeterson792 I hope the dealer will step up and do the right thing.
❤️✌🏻
Step 1
Buy a motorcycle lift
If you want one. Sure why not. I recommend them.
