- Here's how to adjust an Evolution Harley Davidson Sportster motorcycle primary chain. www.hoohoohoblin.com is where you can see more about my Sportster-Engine bikes. Adjusting the primary chain tension and changing the fluid is really easy to do, and you can see everything involved in this video. If you have a 2002 or older tube-framed Buell motorcycle with the Harley Davidson Evolution Sportster Engine, this will work for you as well. Just open the inspection hole, measure the gap, crank the engine over 5 or 10 times and measure to see if there is less than 1/2 inch of play at the tightest point with the engine cold. It's really easy to do, and these chains don't stretch much, so most of the time you won't need to adjust it. To change the oil, drain it, and then dump in a quart. I show you how to check the Evolution Sportster primary fluid in this video, but if you're changing the oil you don't need to check it. Just put in a fresh quart of Harley-Davidson Sportster primary oil after you drain it. I hope this helps you learn to do this yourself. It's simple, and you'll save a lot of money on service.
Hey, you've probably heard it so often that you're getting tired of it, but thanks for the informative video. Well done! As a single female, I can use all the help I can get on maintaining my sporty.
Thanks for your quick and timely response, man. Very kind of you. That rattling of the chain is getting on my last nerve. Also, thanks for giving me the courage to change my fluids. Didn't think I had it in me but thanks to you, I've successfully done it. Cheers.
Great video and THANKS for sharing your experience!
On the Buell, use a grinder to trim 1/4" off the allen wrench and you should be all set.
I actually own a Buell just as you have shown, that is another reason it was so particularly helpful. You may also consider adding "Buell" in your video name for someone that wouldn't think to look here.
Thanks again!
The proper tool to avoid removing the muffler to adjust the primary chain tension is a ball end hex key allen wrench.
Thanks for all the great videos!
Hey man I am working on my Antique EVOLUTION 1340 80"....Long story short I have one of the first Evo motors to ever come out of the factory and when it did come out, it was 1984. That year was the year the EVOLUTION was born.
great vid. i'm a buell owner and have been using 20-50 wt. castrol act-evo in the primary for years and clutch and trans work wonderfully.
Hey, I'm a new Harley owner, I like my bike so far. I really enjoy your videos, they give me a lot of good information! Keep them coming!
Keep making those videos your doing the buell community a world of good. Thanks.
Thank you, I am from Poland and few people can help me here, thanks to you I will do it myself, it was very helpful. The film is many years old and still useful.
This was very helpful and simplified what appeared as pretty complicated, I do believe I can handle this now... Many Thanks!!!
Typically, a few ounces of transmission lube will remain trapped within the primary/transmission such that a full quart added will be too much and can cause the clutch to grab, especially when cold. Round about 28 to 30 ounces is ideal.
Great video!
Very helpful video. Thanks for taking the time to make it and share with us!
This video helped me find the courage and motivation to adjust my primary chain! - thank you!
Hey im brand new to tbe harley world traded my crotch rocket for a 97 m2 cyclone Best thing ive ever done I will never have another rocket. Anyway and your videos have helped me so much thank you.
Excellent video, good instructions, easy to understand. Thanks!
Good job, Thanks. I'm very familiar with the big twin systems but had no clue about the sporty which my son just picked up. So thanks for the info
Im finally able to do this on my X1 Buell, thank you so much for showing how its done.
Thanks for the video. I've always wrenched my own cars and trucks, my 96 sporty I inherited from my dad is the first bike I have to maintain. while the Clymer manual is a great help I learn better seeing it being done.
Awesome video. Thanks for the detailed info
