- What do you do when you leave you accidently leave your bike on overnight? You make a video on how to replace the battery on your Harley Davidson Iron 883! Join me on my first attempt at changing the battery on a Harley. Many of the tips and lessons learned here would also apply to other sportsters as well as many other motorcycles.

A tip as soon as you get your battery in and get everything hooked up start the bike before you put the panel in the seat and all back on to make sure that it starts so you won't have to double work if it don't to take the panel on all back off again❤
It takes me an hour for my 2012 Superlow. The negative cable is super short
The cover is that easy to pop off? This whole time I’ve been using a flat head screw driver to take it off
Ever hear of a light?
Good job homie!
Awesome. Thanks 4 the tip.
Nice how battery cover snaps off my 2000 has a chrome cover that if I ever get it off I will drive over it with my truck
What size wrench did you use? And the terminal cords are loose wires but all go to the closest terminal to the outside correct?
It's been a few months since I did this but I'll see if I can check again.
13mm

Have you got an alarm on your bike. If so how did you deactivate it. ??
I do have an alarm on my bike but I have not had to disarm it yet. My guess would be that you need to have the key fob with you and then cycle the on/off but the bike manual should have that info on it too
Thank you. Great informative video by the way.
Glad it was helpful, thanks for the positive feedback!
OMG... There is hex screw 3/16 under the battery... Why didn't you use it... I understand that it was 2 years ago, but still...
Because you don't have to. AS shown
So weird? Your battery is backwards, mine goes in the other way. It’s a 2014 883.
Does it matter what terminal you do
Negative first, but if its totally dead it doesn't matter. For safety always do negative first.
@@Phurzt If you pull the main fuse before removing the terminal screws, the system is dead and it doesn't matter which you disconnect first. I normally disconnect the + then the -. My Iron has the factory alarm and immobiliser so to prevent the alarm sounding I turn the ignition on before pulling the main fuse.
Literally fast forward through all the part that would be more helpful.
Did you just reach a metal stick over both battery terminals! Lmao 🤣
Would’ve been nice if you explained the actual process of removing and installing the battery. 🤦♂️
Jeezy, so many guys giving this guy a hard time over motorcycle knowledge! I bet 90% of yall never worked on an engine or done real repairs before you bought the bike! 🤣
I know because a lot of guy's buy without even knowing how to change the spark plugs! Hehe! i only looked this up because my brother the non mechanic asked me to! not rocket science!
That hold down is what I’m talking about. I’ve sliced open my fingers trying to release it. POS
Video too dark hard to see
Downvoted for not explaining the bits that were actually necessary
Omg, I thought I was watching a good video but you can't even remove your seat
WOW!!! NOT A VERY GOOD VIDEO! I hope this dude has learned a lot more by now! SMH!!!!!
Worst lighting ever
Please don’t do anymore tutorials
As much as I love Harley that has got to be the stupidest design ever.
Dude! Right you are. At my Suzuki I pop off the seat and the battery is there. Simple as that. Best regards! Chris
