    Great video, reminder to those with different models. this one is designed that the gearbox level is checked with the bike in the upright position. The newer Softails are designed for the level to be checked on the side stand. You can tell the difference as this one has a dipstick that is fixed and does not have a pivot joint. the ones to be checked on the side stand have a pivot between the cap and the level indicator stick. Best of luck all!

      Thank you my friend, it's great to know they are finding use... we'll march our way through them, one at a time, the lose plan is to Primary Oil, Clutch Adjustment (as the derby cover will be off already), then 4th video will do the big one, Engine Oil, and gonna include how to do a 'full purge' on the engine and get that extra dirty pint of oil out, and finally, the Fork Oil at the end... that will do for this series, but I will be adding Brake Fluid later cos I did it recently, and the even bigger one, the Tank Fuel Filter Screen, as soon as I can afford the parts for that one lol ! (£140 and only available from the dealer!)...

    Sir Delboy! A great big hello from Las Vegas NV. I wanted to just say how grateful I am for what you do in sharing your knowledge. Your videos were among the most/first I referenced and I started by doing minor work on my bikes. Presently I’m working on installing 14” handlebars on my Super Glide. As you know, it requires dissembling and reassembling a great many portions of the bike. I now buy the parts I want and put them on myself😎🤘🏽. This would never have been possible without your help. Thank you sir! Keep those videos coming! 👍🏽

      @@Moonfleet41 I did this on a small motorcycle jack. I can understand why a lift is useful now! Hard to fit the screw when it's back on after oil is drained. I think I put too much Hylomar on because it didn't screw on by hand force before I took less on, or I might have been unlucky with the initial screwing on. Also the 12 sided pipe got stuck on the screw after torqueing so I had to yank it out with a plier!

    Just sold it, and have now moved to a 1994 Electraglide.
    Not sure of previous maintenance, so I am simply going to work through this, so I know its done...

    Top timing on this series Del and Penny, I am just about to service my fatboy this weekend and I although I have done it twice now running Mobil 1 15W50 in the engine, Redline in the gearbox and 20W50 in the primary and she runs like a dream however it's always great to get tips and advice as every day is a school day :) I have never attempted the forks on the FB, did it on the Dragstar 650 and no issues but looking forward in particular to seeing that video.....learnt so much from this channel over the years it's just ace!!

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you David, that's really kind - we try to break it down to make it easy to follow in chunks, you'll love the fork oil change at the end, cos am not gonna make a meal out of it, I've a suction tube to remove the oil and then the same amount will be poured back in... the only part of the bike being removed will be the fork cap! I've always done it this way, doesn't disturb the forks and you get just as much oil out... not only that, it's so easy, and cheap, you can do it once a year ! Oh and btw, great oils you choose, specially the Mobil1 - it's just about as good as it can be aye?!

    • @davidcopeland6709
      @davidcopeland6709 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      cheers Del, can't wait to see it.....yes big fan of Mobil 1, it's a high quality oil very happy with it. I Was running Amsoil previously and thought that was also a good oil but more difficult to get hold of in the UK now. The FB is such a beautiful machine so think it's wise to spend the extra pennies on good quality products and regular maintenance to help prevent less costly issues in the long run :)

    Hi Del
    i thought i'd drop you a quick email, I'm 62 and have never done any maintenance on a bike before, having watched your videos i thought i would give it a go. I've just completed the gear box oil change on my 2012 heritage classic and I'm very pleased with myself for doing it. your videos have inspired me to have a go, the only problem i had was that when i inspected the oil that came out, there were tiny bits in it, so I'm taking your advice and will look to see if it gets any worse. thanks for posting theses videos as i would never have attempted this without them, it feels that your there watching, as i quickly look on my phone if i get stuck, i m now going back out to the garage to do the primary oil change. please keep up the great work as I'm sure there are many others out there like myself. Thanks.

Love the investments you and Pen are making for your channel. I will suggest again that you get a lav mic. It will make such a difference to the audio quality. Thx again brother. Thomas in Toronto.

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you Thomas, as always with these things, we are testing behind the scenes constantly, separate mics mean separate audio files, sound syncing and all kinds of post production work... it's not complex and perfectly able to do it, but so much more time consuming, plus the equipment has a cost, but more importantly than any of that, if the schedule we keep 3 videos a week, prep, filming, and post production plus full time jobs, we just don't have the time to make things even longer... but if the Patron support keeps growing, then we may be able to afford a little more time to do all this by rolling back on the day job a few hours a week!

    I bought a 2005 Sportster in 2019 which had the original fork oil in it with "only" 9K miles. When I drained it, the fluid had the viscosity of water, the color was solid black and it stunk horribly. The forks bottomed out on the smallest bumps. New fluid made a world of difference. Much better ride! Time is just as important as miles when it comes to service.

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Exactly right there buddy, it sounds like that was more then likely to be the original oil, so 14 years old... so many Harley's get horribly neglected because they don't do enough mileage, and lazy owners (or skint) choose to leave a given task because it hasn't come round to enough miles yet.... it's not clever, and can be detrimental to the bike in some cases... but the absolute worst of it, is riders cruising about on 14 year old tyres because they haven't "worn out" yet..! even though they're cracked and rock hard, handle horribly, ..hey, there's still lots of tread though.!

    • @boomerguy9935
      @boomerguy9935 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Moonfleet41 That's exactly what happened. The previous owner bought my old standard XL883 for his wife and apparently didn't ask if she wanted to ride solo. He said it had sat in the garage for years gathering dust before he decided to sell it. The tires still looked new. The first thing I did was replace the tires and all the fluids. Since then, I've been tinkering with it regularly in the Man Cave. I tell my wife it's therapy. I've learned a lot from your videos. Keep up the great work!

      Yeah, these Harley motors will ride round the world, you just need to take care of them... we're gonna break this full service down in to about 5-6 videos, purely because it wouldn't work as one big video, but will be a numbered series in succession, so no.2 at the weekend, Primary Oil Change... keep in touch mate, always good to hear from you, Cheers, D&Px

      These days, youngsters haven't inherited the skills from the older folk, so learning stuff like this can put people at ease to get the confidence to do things themselves...Meaning they may be more likely to buy a bike in the first place, knowing it's not going to cost them a mortgage to keep one running!

  • @brandywell44

    Del , That Harley Davidson of yours is a credit to you, it looks like new and I know you used it in Winter.
    I enjoyed that FS365 video that you did a while back when you hosed off the old protection and it looked great underneath. I've met a rider with an HD Heritage Springer that he used through Winter and again it was like new. Another I met at a Moto Guzzi rally with an Electra Glide and when I saw the speedo it had 72,000 miles but looked like new. HD can last well if you know how to treat them and put the time in. There are exceptions of course (Italian made for HD spokes spring to mind) but HD do have nice finishes.

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah you're right on all those points buddy... if you put the time in to stay on top of the cleaning, then a Harley will stay lookin buff... but not the spokes.. they'll rust no matter what you do.. but at least they are a reasonably cheap upgrade to go to stainless aye..! and ive seen Harleys with well over 100k miles time and time again, and they're still going fine. !

  • @jens05121
    @jens05121 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Super informative and detailed videos. Just bought a Softail and enjoyed the insight into changing the main fluids before I do mine. That said, your info on the oil is incorrect. The W does not stand for weight. It is an identifier for the winter additive package in that oil. The viscosity of the oil does not change, only the pour point at ambient or extreme temps. It also refers to the protection left behind once the oil is back in the sump. Btw, 20w is old chemistry and has a slow pour point meaning it takes longer to get to the Lubrication points than a 15w or 5w. Just thought I’d share. Thanks again for the great videos! Cheers.

    Hey Del and Penny! Another great video! I love how you demonstrate your efforts. It is so helpful for those of us learning. Again, great camera work Penny. Del, are you collecting USA License plates for your garage? The reason I ask, I have two boxes of old plates from all over. Is there a State you are needing to complete all 50 States? If so, let me know, I may have it and you both know you are welcome to it. If I may comment, I love your schedule of doing one task at a time, great planning and I'm sure you will get positive feedback from viewers. I feel so grateful to have such proper friends as you two! Well, take care, Peace to you both, and God Bless! One last thing. I remember in one of your prior videos you mentioned that blue thread sealant. I had never heard of it before. however, since you did recommend it, I bought a tube off of eBay. I've had it for more than a year, but yet to use it. I forget, I have it until the task is complete. I learn so much from you both.

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Scott and Debbie, how lovely to hear from you both again.. it's always a nice surprise! I wear my ToadSuck cap with pride, but never on the dirty jobs in the garage, as it's very special ...
      With the licence plates, we aren't collecting them just for the sake of it, it's a little deeper than that... we call it 'The Wall of Friends' and each one is sent by a different viewer, either from the place they live, or from a special old vehicle they owned many years ago, making it a treasure to them.... so each one has a special significance, so thank you for the offer, but we're not simply collecting them... but if you have one from your town/State that represents a vehicle you owned, then it will remind us of our friends, Scott & Debbie, whenever we look at it, which would be cool !
      So glad you enjoy the videos, we pitch them at the absolute new mechanic, something real basic that people can learn from and again a little confidence in themselves... keep well both, always lovely to hear from you, all the best, D&Px

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah sorry Dan, all best intentions, went for a ride Sunday, the Harley rolled over 32k miles and I noticed in the history when I looked, it had 7k miles on the last oil change - was told it had had it's 30k miles service when I bought it, but it clearly didn't... so gotta catch up, then will be back to the fighter !

    • @KingsColas
      @KingsColas 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey no worries. Always great to catch a garage day with ya. But I'm glad you were able to catch that early enough and fix it. Also interesting to watch cuz it's STILL learning right. Cheers Del Hopw you enjoying the day (it's 89Degrees F where I'm at, lol) how's the ramp in comparison to the old. I bet the new lift and latch system is a huge upgrade in my opinion.
