All great tips for those not knowing or needing a reminder. I do have one input, the engine stop switch (kill switch) should only be used in emergencies or to input the pin code.
Thanks for the comment but that's wrong. You always use the kill switch when turning off the bike.
Now I'm curious, how many people don't? 🤔
* Comment below * "Use" or "Don't" use the kill switch?
@@TravelingTall I've never used it and was also taught that at MMI. I'm also curious. Maybe you can do a video interview with one of the Techs there to see what their input is on the subject, 🤷🏽♂️.
I only use it on my FXR with the 124 because of the heavy duty clutch won’t let me hit neutral. I’m going to adjust it .
@@TravelingTall “Use”
Use….every time
Brother, that dealership ought to hire you as their trainer for all the sales people. That was an exceptional good piece explaining all those items!
I’m trying to get into sales at a dealer and I’m using these videos to help learn about the bikes
I'm 79 years old and I ride a 2004 Heritage Softail Classic. I Live in Charles City County, VA. and just got back into motorcycles in May of this year after 54 years absence. I'll be moving up to a touring bike in the spring of 23.
2023 Road Glide Special. All great stuff TT. Thank you for going over these things.
Brother Tall, perhaps you’re already pursuing this; HD should/must hire you (independent contractor) as “The Voice of Harley D.” There could be different episodes covering a variety of topics. You have the passion, people skills, product knowledge, riding experience and your demeanor is refreshing. God’s strength be with you my Brother. Peace.
Great job thanks for that!
Agreed!! Get that voice on the brand and bikes will sell.
What’s up Tall. I’m not a Harley rider. I own a Goldwing. Still enjoy watching your videos. I’m from Southern California. Thanks for the awesome content.
Goldwing great bike, I owned 3 of them and was looking to buy a forth one but they didn’t make one in 2011, so I been riding Harley-Davidsons every since. But I still love the Wings
Excellent video sir. You just taught me more about my motorcycle than every salesman who's ever delivered a motorcycle to me combined.
My first bike, the only thing the salesman told me was which lever was the clutch! lol I was totally green, and very lucky to survive that first few weeks.

Had to laugh out loud. That happened to me. I stopped for gas and found the key fob had fallen out of my pocket. Had to use my code. Retraced my route and found it a couple miles back. Sure as anything, someone had run over it. Thank God for that code. Good video.
HD. The paint just pops off those bikes. Just say’n. Thanks Tall. 100% to all of it.
Thank you for the info. I bought a 2016 Ultra Limited a little over a year ago and as you mentioned I was really tired but excited when I bought it. I only knew the things I had learned on uTube prior to buying the bike. The salesman wasn’t much help and I soon found out that I knew more about it than he did. By the way, I bought a 2016 FLHTK. Thanks again for your videos. I’ve been following you for some time now and will continue to do so.
I would like to see that this is hands down the absolute excellent best educational and informative video explaining the functions of a motorcycle I've ever seen in my entire life and I'm 61 years old and have been a biker my entire life! You explain things so amazingly simple and clearly! Thank you so very very much, I was one of them **_ FOUR *_C guys where you stated that you are so excited about buying your bike that you just don't really pay attention to anything you're being told because you're just so ecstatic of your bike, you are awesome at what you do on these videos and you definitely have the right career because you are a people person. I am Hawk from Eastern North Carolina about 60 miles east of Raleigh North Carolina and I bought a 2006 new to me Road Glide ironically a year tomorrow isn't that ironic? I had not written or owned a bike in 19 years it took 19 years for me to get back to being able to own a bike and I am thrilled and it is a beautiful beautiful bike. Thank you again for this video and I will definitely subscribe and look at all your other videos. May you and your family friends and loved ones have a very very Merry Christmas and a happy healthy and safe New Year! Again I thank you. Hawk. I stumbled across your video today and the date of today is 12:17- 22, I just can't believe how ironic it is that I stumbled across this video and tomorrow makes one year I had my bike.
Great video! I dropped a fob while on a ride in Tombstone. Fortunately, a rider in the group knew how to start without a fob and also the default code to start it. I have my own code set (I went back and found the fob) now but had forgotten how to access it. After this video I will go out into the garage and check it out. I have the code in my wallet since 2020. Thanks for posting this.
2021 road glide special, and I’m from the Knoxville area. I was actually at bootlegger yesterday while you were filming this
Throwing in a comment to help your algorithm! 22 RG is my first bike ever. 3,500 miles of riding experience. I ride in the south so fortunately I don’t have a real winter cycle causing the bike to sit. Regarding the safety pin and transportation mode was very insightful. Slammed us with some knowledgeable tips! Thank you!
21 Trig Glide and 2 FXRs,from Oklahoma. Good information.
Thank you for the info. 2016 Street Glide, SE FL
Thanks Tall, good content. I just added a 2017 Heritage Softail to my 2006 Goldwing GL1800. Everyday is a good day to ride!
Obama with a Harley career... I dig that brother. I learn like gazillion things with just this video and I was looking for a video like this for a long time specially the fact that I just bought a Road King FLHP in about a month ago.
And that key thing is super helpful. The part where you can actually set your own pin or even ride it off without the FOB!
Thanks man, I can't thank you enough and we kinda do the same thing in TH-cam for those that needs help. Never thought I would appreciate something someone else does here beside me, and it's been awhile since all TH-camrs are just floating the community and not taking their times to help and demonstrate. Like, subs and comment for sure 😃
Thanks for watching and subscribing
Great video Tall, keep up the great work. I ride the real bike Road Glide. I had a streetglide, but I lost it in a house fire.
What’s up Tall thanks for the video I just a 2020 Electra Glide Standard back in September I’m from Vienna Maryland
Blessings from the Motor City, That was a nice informative video because I did get the Four C delivery when I got my 2020 Road Glide Special. Hope to see you next season in Detroit. Peace and Love
im on two wheels riding a 2008 street glide the best glide! tuning in all the way from Los Angeles California you have great content and i enjoy your channel.
Thank you. Great information.
2020 Road Glide in Virginia, thanks for the PIN code tip I couldn’t get the sequence right.
2015 streetglide S , from fort Erie, Ont Canada… the head wrench did go over all the points about starting without the fob, but if you don’t do it all the time, you forget, like did. Thank you for the refresher. Most appreciated.
Very good tips, bought my 1st Harley back in February and the dealer didn't go over any of the things you covered with exception of how to turn it on and how to lock the bars. I bought a 2020 Street Glide Special with 97miles on it, riding out of PA.
Great to hear!
Hi Tall, this is Gert from The Netherlands, riding a ‘21 Road King Special in Deadwood Green and a ‘03 Fat Boy anniversary. I love your channel and although I ride motorcycles for a long time it’s always nice to learn something from fellow riders. Keep up the good work my man 👍
Hello I am currently living in Florida I am a beginner
I started out with a Honda rebel I’m looking to get the road glide I’ve watched many videos of yours and putting 2and2 together I believe your wife
I love both of the videos very inspiring!! Thank you so much 😀
Great Instructional video! 2023 Road Glide Special, Daytona Beach.
This was brilliant, Tall, I learned some things that I didn’t expect to.
Thanks for the effort you have put into this video. ✌️
Bootlegger HD needs to put you on the payroll😀
'22 Street Bob, Indiana. Great tips for those of us not reading the manual and do not ride often.
Great tips
I ride an '03 Roadking Anniversary FLHRCI because many of the Harley mechanics I talked with say the '03 models are Harley's best because they represent the company's 100 year milestone. Enjoyed your video and insight into the complicated electronics the newer bikes have. Good job. Nevada rider now from Alaska.
I ride 2022 Street Glide Special and live in Louisiana. Great information, Thank you Tall!
Wassup tall, AP here from Chatham; a small town in south central Va. About 25 miles north of the Carolina line. I'm riding a '97 Dyna Wideglide and a 96 Heritage Softail Nostalgia. I had a sportster then a superglide and the GREATEST BLESSING GOD EVER bestowed on a man; in my 1st born son and another son 2 yes later. So I would take a couple decade break from riding to raise my kids (purely my personal life choice) and I can't believe how rusty I was when I got back in the saddle of my Wideglide. So I'm really enjoying the videos and all the tips. They have reminded me of some things I had forgotten plus some things that I didn't even know. So thanks for sharing them.
From Southwest Virginia and riding a 2004 Sportster Frankenstein!!
My 14 street glide special does everything you mentioned.
Those were some great tips. Thank you For sharing them With us.
Hello, I'm Ken. Wife and I are in New Mexico. After 21 years, i finally added a second motorcycle to my garage. Needless to say, our 2019 Ultra Limited is awesome, but she's got a LOT more bells and whistles on her than my '02 FLSTF-C.
Awesome tip/tricks. Bought a 2023 Road Glide ST in May and dealership failed to mention most of those items. Appreciate the time and thoroughness of the post. Ride safe.
Great video Tall! I bought my ‘17 UL from a great dealer here in North Eastern Indiana!
Great video Tall! Riding a '21 Road Glide Special and am from Ohio. Many great handy tips that are useful. Would love to see a video on the GTS, I feel like there are probably lots of cool uses that I'm just not aware of or don't know how to do.
I really needed those reminders. A lot of times we just get to the new riding season and think we “know” or remember and that’s not always the case. So, thanks again for the reminder! Stay safe and have a blessed day!
Hello tall. I’m from East Tennessee, right outside of Knoxville. And I ride a 2020 road glide. Lol
This was very helpful! I’ve had a few instances and I somehow figured it out but don’t know how I did it. Thanks! I ride a 2020 Road King from Indianapolis, IN
Awesome video Tall thank you so much for sharing with us I’m from Grand Prairie, Texas I ride a 2003 100 Year Anniversary Heritage Softail Springer and 2019 Road Glide CVO be blessed Tall.
Hey Tall, just came across your video here of the 21 things you need to know. I'm working on getting my first Harley-Davidson Motorcycle. It'll be my first Motorcycle period! I'm a 1st generation German/American, so I'm seeing brand loyalty here. Thanks for the great tips on the "care" of the bike so it can last a VERY long time! Doug🏍️⭐⭐⭐❤️🐻😇👍
That was an excellent video! Exactly what happened to me. Forgot everything the dealer went over. So excited to ride again after an 18 year break! So thanks!
2021 RGS in PA
22 Streetglide.. Huntsville Alabama
Great refresher Tall, I ride a 2021 Street Glide CVO all year round in Alicante, Spain. I’d appreciate a boom box tutorial buddy.
From Wichita, KS and ride a 2017 Fat Boy S. I always use the kill switch.
Ezy... Birmingham Alabama... 2020 midnight blue street glide. Good info.💯🤛🏿
Great video Tall. I am in Lawrenceburg Indiana. I ride a 2016 Ultra Limited. Color is Purple Fire Blackberry Smoke. I get lots of compliments on it. My lighting is 99% Custom Dynamics.
Great video brother...can you do a video on the do's and dont's of buying a Harley?
2022 street glide standard I’m from Mass, thanks for what you do
Macdaddy@BR Thank you very much for that much needed information. I've been riding since 73' and never had instructions given to me by any dealers or dealerships. Thank you again and God bless!
really appreciate you taking the time to help lots of us out with info we don't know or have. riding a 2020 black/black FLHCS 114
Thanks for watching
Nice review keep up the good work Traveling tall
This is a great video, especially for me. I bought my 1200 sportster and my first bike in the winter .it was delivered to me and went in my garage with no explanation at all. I didn't expect an explanation from the delivery guy nor did I ask for it. It was just the dead of winter in Canada. Great channel for info and entertainment! Thank you!
ATLANTA 2015 Street Glide Vivid Black chromed belly. Thanks for the vid. Very informative !!
WELL DONE, THANK YOU!!
Came across your channel on accident and I learned something new from it. Thank you for the content and I will be tuning in. I currently have a fxr, a convertible, a street glide, and a street bob.
Thanks for watching
one of the most informative "new rider" videos i've seen. great job!
I ride a 2019 Harley Road King Special. Great video sir and I learned quite a bit from this video. Never knew you could change your pin that easy. Gonna have to do that soon now. Thanks for the content and tips. God bless.
'19 FXFBS Glendale, AZ Home of the last Superbowl!
Thanks for the reminder about the PIN
I ride a 16 Road Glide Ultra and a 04 CBR1000RR. Riding in the great state of NC. I know you used to always say Street Glide or no Glide but I see you having more Road Glides in your videos and I’m loving it. Both are great bikes and the next bike I get will be a Street Glide so I can have both Glides. Keep making those videos. BTW I have a bunch of Custom Dynamics lights on my Road Glide too and I absolutely love them.
That’s awesome. Not many harley owners have a sport bike to go along with it. I have a 17 ultra limited and a 08 zx600 myself. Mad respect for people on 1k though lol im terrified of them.
Hi Tall. I ride a 2002 Heritage Soft tail and a 2021 Tri Glide Ultra. Thanks for the tips.
Hey cool brother! I have a 93 heritage and 2013 tri-glide. What a co-ink-e-dink!
Thanks for video, yep was alot of info to comprehend when I went out the door with my 22 road glide.
I ride a 2021 street glide specials Snake venom color and I'm from Chicago
Thanks for the tips, I bought a 2022 Harley-Davidson Heritage in May and I was told about starting without the key fob but wasn’t told how to use it or reset the code however I found how to in the manual and found only two TH-cam videos showing how it’s done. I keep my code and how to activate it on my iPhone that is always with me. I didn’t know about the battery tender plug until I bought a battery tender to keep the battery charged in the hot Las Vegas summer.
Love your videos and rides!
P.S. I just bought the Sena 50s do you have a video on how to connect to a GoPro to record while riding?
Really good video Tall. I'm a rider for many years. I got a bunch from this. Thanks again for the great job. Stuart. 👍
Enjoyed the video. I will be In the market for a road glide soon. Returning Vet from overseas and born and raised in Detroit
Thank you, I ride a 18 model fxfbs, and I'm from Warrnambool Victoria Australia..... the modes are bit daunting when you read them in the manual but when you watch someone do it in practice was a big help, thank you again.
good refresher...Ottawa, Canada...15 Ultra Limited Low.
2018 Softail Heritage Standard and watching from Maineville, Ohio
I love it, you are right on, I've been a motorcycle mechanic for 30 years, you can kill the brand, honda, harley, bmw, but you cant kill the motor, and the stripes around it, your colors are a representative of you,
This was the best tutorial I have received for my 2017 Street Glide…thank you so much…sending koodos all the way from Texas
I have left my FLHR in hotel parking lots, national parks for the day, Sturgis, and on and on completely confident my alarm was set and my ride would be patiently waiting for me when I got back to it. I had no idea anyone with the factory code could have ridden away on my baby. I am going out to the garage with this video and set a PIN just as soon as I subscribe to your channel.
Awesome tutorial on key code and transport mode ...saving this video for sure
Awesome, thank you!
07 Softtail Duece and 2019 Road Glide CVO, Sacramento ,Ca .Great video Tall .
Really great video, thank you. Nice show room, with so much open space.
Thank u . Would like to learn more . 2017 road glide, air cleaner / rain alone was an education. More please
You did a great job Tall !! Thank you very much.
Still riding my 2022 street glide special, battleship gray I bought almost a year ago when you came to bootlegger to meet me. Love my bike. I do hope to see you sometime soon. I have something of importance I think you might be interested in. Thanks for the vids. Be safe and God bless.
I own my third Harley after owning two Road Kings, a ‘22 Street Glide Special. Thanks for all the tips, some I knew, some I didn’t. Keep on keeping on! 😎
Thanks, good video. I’m a retired Illinois State Police Motor Officer now living in Texas. I own a 2018 FLHTK SHRINE ULTRA LIMITED. I have been watching your videos for years. I rode motorcycles to Canada, Miami and California. I even took my wife and to kids to Canada in a sidecar.
2020 Street Glide Special, from the Central Coast, approximately 90 minutes north of Sydney, Australia. ✌️
Appreciate all the tips. THANK YOU!! Tall you have been a great help and inspiration to a new Harley owner. Thank you sir.. 2015 Road Glide Special from Brighton, TN
Mike from Rockport Tx. 2021 Street Glide Special. Had lots of bikes, this is my first Harley Davidson and I wish I had been riding a Harley all along. I lost my owners manual and found this video helpful. I watch your videos but this one made me subscribe.....Thanks
Been riding for over 35 years and I still watch these tips for things I may have forgot or, bad habits I may need to correct. This is a great one because I forgot my PIN and can't find where I wrote down and forgot how to find it. Thank you!
Thanks for this, I got the 2022 Street Glide Special
Hey Tall, 2022 RGST, probably the one in the video. These comments had me curious so I opened the manual. Page 121 stopping the engine states:
1. Push the off/run switch to off.
2. Turn the ignition switch to off.
Thanks for the video
Even though I read the owners manual, this video was much easier to understand. Thanks for your help! Lafayette, Louisiana FLHXI
Hey Tall -- excellent video -- love your content -- keep up the great work. I ride a 2019 Electra Glide Standard (my dream bike). She's put away for the winter -- very anxious to get back on the road in about 4 months!
Great video… Live in Destin, Fl. Started with an 07 Road King Classic. Just upgraded last week to the 2023 Ultra Limited Black on Black…
Nice information.
Love your Videos. I ride a 2019 SGS and live about 20 minutes from Zippers in Sykesville, MD.
just bought new bike thanks watch you everyday
Oh, I wish I found this video a month ago. I had a 4-See delivery myself on my first Harley about a month ago. Imagine my surprise when the controls did not behave the way I expected them to. And the computer seemed to have a mind of its own. After watching this video and reading the manual cover-to-cover, I picked up several important bits of knowledge. I love my Street Glide Special, bought new off the showroom floor.
Thank you for developing this topic. Too often, experienced riders forget that some of us are soooo new that we don't really understand our own machine. Cruising around the Napa Valley in California.
I ride a 20 Road Glide. Thank you for the remider. Riding in the great state of Kansas.
