Nice video! I have a 2007 Dyna street bob, one thing to keep in mind is that the engine is rubber mounted and the oil filter is directly above the rubber engine mount. Taking off the oil filter like that will put oil on the rubber mount and ruin it in no time at all, the rubber will expand and the engine will eventually shake like crazy and the mount will have to be replaced often. I have a flat funnel that goes under the oil filter, you take a big nail and put a hole in the top of the filter, then unscrew the filter a half turn so the oil slowly drains out of the filter and down the flat funnel. Then when it's completely drained you take off the filter. You can do it like you showed but I'd follow up with brake cleaner and clean off the rubber engine mount or you'll run into trouble. When I bought my bike the front mount was covered with oil, the rubber was expanded about 2X out of the mount and the engine shook so bad I was afraid to ride it without replacing the mount.
Excellent video mate one tip if I may share it you probably already know but get a plastic water bottle cut the top off where the lid is and slide it iber the filter works the same as the Harley drain thing you gotta buy
Im 18 and I had bought a 2008 dyna street bob from my mentor, got a good deal for it, worked my ass of for it though lol. My dad's got a 1986 low rider special edition, and I bought mine so I could ride with him. But anyways, I appreciate you getting straight to the point and no bullshit, I need someone to teach me this stuff and watching your videos helps me out, thanks man!
is it necessary to change transmission oil? Because I want to service my dyna street bob by myself and I saw couple of videos on TH-cam to find out how to service our bike at home. Some people changing a transmission oil also and some people don’t. So if I had to change transmission oil then which oil should I use?
Yes, you can and should service your transmission and primary drive oils as well. Per the Clymer manual the transmission and primary take the same oil, i.e., HD Formula+ Transmission and Primary Chain Lubricant. If not available then 20W50
@@SingleMaltMotors Sir. You mean the Engine oil 20W50 can be use on transmission and primary as per the rule? Sry for asking the same question twice . I just want to be 100% sure before i step on it.
@@windchaser5 No, you'll still need to use transmission oil. Here's a link to HD for reference, you'll want to make sure this is right for your specific bike. www.harley-davidson.com/us/en/shop/heavy-synthetic-gear-oil/p/62600091
Do you also have a specific torque for that linkage?? I bought my fxdb few months ago and now I want to change oil in March and I also have no access to oil filter because my linkage.
@@SingleMaltMotors fuckin auto correct changed oil to pip lol I couldn't get a close enough look and which plug you removed to drain the oil. There's a couple around the area under mine where it would drain
@@SingleMaltMotorsAs a certified technician with accreditation your an idiot… K&N filters are ALREADY PRELUBED!!!! I bet you 100 dollars I call K&N and they call you and idiot too…
Started off as a bad video. Show the damn oil plug. There are some here that don’t know where it is. Also throw that Carrollton oil out the back door and buy some Amsoil.

Thanks for the tip, I'll pull that in next oil change
I'll give it a try sounds like a great idea

@@SingleMaltMotors Thank you sir. But in my country is only available 85w140 :(

Per manual, torque spec for shift linkage nut is 96-144 in.-lb.
@@SingleMaltMotors yes I found that thank you Sir.
Are you supposed to run the engine and get it up to operating temp before draining oil?
Yes
What socket sizes???
Sorry, friend--I missed that in this video. Will aim for future
Tool sizes would be nice
Thank you, that is valid feedback
No primary oil change?
Will do shortly, swapping out my primary cover in the next month or so
Well which ones the pip drain plug?
I don't understand your question

@@redseaford9426 Gotcha. I'll try to paste an image into comments showing the oil drain plug.

It's the plug on the side of the oil pan, not the one on the bottom
Did you use a stand?
Just the kick stand
Never remove a Overing from the oil filter it ruins it that’s stupid just put a little bit of oil on top of the O-ring but don’t remove it
Incorrect my friend, it's completely safe and good practice. Thanks for your opinion

Don’t pull the gasket off your new filter
