- How to do a 3 hole fluid change on a 2009 Harley Davidson Dyna Fat Bob! Should be the same for all 96 cubic inch Dyna models.
I am neither a mechanic, gear head, or a teacher. Just wanted to show people on a budget how easy it is to DIY your fluid changes!

Thanks bro. I just got my first bike ever. 2010 Fatbob. I know nothing about bikes but this video has helped me big time. Appreciate the time you took to help Noobs like me
Glad it helped!
That was one of my early videos and I honestly think it was horribly produced... But I guess it still does the job it was meant to do! Enjoy your new ride!
Thanks for taking the time out to pass on your knowledge .. I'am now more than confident to do the service on my dyna . Cheers Buddy, from England .. Total Respect !!!!
Thank you for that comment. I was very new at making and editing videos when I made this one. Glad to knows it is helpful to some in spite of the horrible production.
I truly appreciate your video and you really explained it well. Only one thing I would add to your technique, use some kind of oil catch under the filter removal, that way you avoid a future motor mount replacement. That oil will destroy your motor mount rubber.
Thank you for the kind words! I have started making a little runoff ramp out of cardboard to catch the oil from the filter. I would like to redo this video eventually. It was one of my first and my filming and production skills have greatly improved.
Cheers for this bro! Given me the confidence to go out and do my '09' fatbob now. Very much appreciated! 🙂
Exact reason I made this video!
Love your derby cover it matches mine. I've changed oil and trans fluid already with Amsoil in my 07 fxstc. Primary is next with Amsoil. Hope I don't spill this time haha. Nice video dude!
That derby cover was one of my first "mods". Had it picked out before I even got the bike... Thanks for watching.
Something you might try the next time you change your oil that I use when I change mine. Tear off a piece of your wife's aluminum foil, fold it in half and bend it into enough of a horseshoe that it fits between your frame and engine underneath the oil filter. Put your oil pan underneath the end of the foil and when you take off your oil filter, the oil from the filter flows down the little shute you made with your aluminum foil into your drain pan and no muss - no fuss.
Gear specific fluid helps rather than some of that 1 type for all oil. Nothing wrong with Amsoil.
The gear specific oil makes a noticable difference in how smooth the transmission is.
does it? I was going to use same oil for all three, but you notice a difference with the gear oil?
@ron Davis... It really does make a noticable difference in the tranny. You aren't going to hurt anything by putting the same oil in all three... You just won't get the benefits of using the specific oil.
thanks, about to do the 3 hole on a 12 heritage, I'll use the gear specific...
leave top bolt in derby cover take the other ones out then the cover won't fall in the oil take the top one out last
You should invest in a form-a-funnel. Flexible draining tool that you can stick under your oil filter to catch that oil and funnel it away from your bike. 22 bucks on amazon totally worth it. I use them all the time at work.
Thank you! I'm looking at that right now!
Why disconnect your shifter when you can drive a screwdriver through the old filter and get it started then unscrew it by hand?
because it makes one hell of a mess
THANKS MY UCE☝️💯🤙FOR THE TUTORIAL. I CAN NOW DO IT MYSELF ALSO
Glad to help... I hate seeing people pay dealership prices for something that can be done at home.
Morning mate ! Damn cheaper doing it yourself ! . Am with you on specialized Harley stuff 😂👍. Dirty as hell 🤔it’s cleaner than mine 👍. Burn that hand 🤚 ahhhhhh! 😂👍. Loving that Derby cover 👍. My missus says it’s like your in the room with us Wrenching 😂😂. ( its loud) 😂. Nicely done mate ! German specs 😂😂😂. Think I will pop this vid in a best folder for future reference 👍👍🍺🥃🍺🥃👊
Very good video - thanks for uploading and sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting...
I really want people to see how easy it is to handle minor maintenance on your own without paying the dealership prices.
Can all the scheduled maintenance be done at home if a person is mechanically inclined??
You would have to pick up a maintenance guide and make that decision for yourself. It worries require some specific tools.
It can be done with the right tools and know how.
If you have to ask then you are Not mechanically inclined
@@robertjeffery4664 skunk72 understood me
Thx for sharing..I have a couple of questions..why did u take off the cam cover and put in oil...I'm going to read watch bc I could've missed that part...and did u replace the heads bc they look so much more shinier than the orignals...thx
I didnt have the cam covers off for the oil change.. Im not sure what I mentioned there. I have had my cam covers off when I installed new cams (I may have mentioned something about that in the video). Those are the original heads, I just polished them up with a product called Wenol.
What does that mean wet or dry?
Great tutorial, thanks brother!!
Can't even begin to tell you how happy it makes me that this video has helped so many... I was very new at making videos when I did this. I actually cringe watching it now 😂. I've considered doing it again now that I've learned so much more in the filming and editing field.
Learned a lot. Good video.
If you haven't done it, sign up to be a preferred member. It saves a TON of money. Especially if live near a warehouse.
I can place my order when I get to work, and go grab it afterwards.
Nice... Thanks for that tip!
Fuck I ride the bike. Best comment! Thank you! I hate garage queens. Great video. (Is that a buick apollo)
That is a 78 Chevy Nova
The rubber grommet by the jiffy stand comes off by hand? Or do you need a tool to remove?
It just pulls off by hand.
Good video
Thank you. Shot it all with an iPhone . At the time, I didn't know how to rotate the video when the iPhone went into portrait mode. One of the days I'll do this video again and use some of my editing techniques I've learned since then. Hopefully create a better final product.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks man 🤙
Hope it helps!
As for the linkage the oem linkage are crap, upgrade to a swivel type linkage.
*pointed..... Stupid auto correct got me.
here's a link to the linkage, www.hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/479176-heim-joint-shift-linkage.html
Cool video , and how to.
Can you please tell me what brand/model seat is on the bike during the recording of this video?
At that time I had a Harley Davidson sundowner seat. Very comfortable but it pushed me too far forward and I didn't like the way it made the bike look. I now have a saddlemen step up that I love.
@@Skunk72 Great. Thanks for info. Looking for something more comfortable for the wife than the stock seat.. I did see that one on the HD site. Thanks for the great video also!
The wife will love a sundowner!
@@Skunk72 I just bought a sundowner for the girlfriend she couldn't stand the seat that was on it for more than a hour. Find out if she likes it in 3-5 days when it arrives. Glad I found your video I am terrified to mess up something but after seeing this I think I should be able to get it done no problem
I'm fairly sure your lady will love that seat. They are quite comfortable. Just wasn't the right fit for me.
Really happy to know that this video helped you out. Routine service is so easy to do at home. The whole point to this video was to help others see that they don't have to pay dealership prices for everything.
Nice video thank you
Thanks for watching. Hope it was helpful.
Hi guy? Thank you, What size of the oil filter wrench ? 75? 76? mm
I actually buy the oil filters with the hex nut on the end for easy removal which unfortunately didn't work the day I filmed this lol. Those are made by K&N.
The wrench that I used when the hex failed on this one was an adjustable metal band type of tool.
Right on man. Good how to video!
Wish it could have been better.. it was kind of an afterthought. Didn't have the set up to film what I was doing. Just a walk through filmed with my phone. Just wanted to show how easy it is.
Amsoil is great
I never thought oil brands would make such a difference.
Amsoil really does massage things run smoothly.
@@Skunk72 I know in my Harley I could hear the difference right away. When I bought my bike the dealership said we just changed the oil. So I said ok. A month later I checked my dipstick and noticed I was a half quart down and the oil was extremely black. I went ahead and changed my oil the next day. The valves were very quite.
Use foil under your filter.
Always appreciate a new tip! I'll try that next time.
formula+ in trans and primary, syn3 in motor only
Ma e valido anche per la fat bob modello 2020?
Non posso essere ure di questo, ma, dovrebbe simile
Good! Tnx you🤝
5/8" sockets.
I prefer baby oil, just kidding...
Slightly different for SE version right?
I have not done any work on an SE. But it is still a dyna but with a 110CU engine. All procedures should be the same with only fluid capacity possibly being a little different.
@@Skunk72 thanks it was identical to the 110 that I have here I was just looking at the wrong bolt. Somebody way overtightened the torx bolts on the derby cover and I already drained it GD it! Twisted a brand new t27 and they're semi wallor'd out now MF SOB
On my first fluid change, I changed my derby cover. While doing that, I changed out the torx screws to some allen heads. Over the years, I have eliminated most of the torx on my bike.
Glad you got it done and didn't have to pay an absurd amount to have a dealership do it.
@@Skunk72 thank you I'm doing it for someone else and didn't expect the torx were to be so tight. I'm probably going to have to cut slots in them to get them out to change the primary oil.
Thanks for this!
Hope it helped! Not the best produced video. I have been thinking about doing it again.
@@Skunk72 I just bought a 2009 Dyna Super glide yesterday and this worked perfect for me. 🤘
Enjoy that bike!!!!!
@@Skunk72 Thanks!
Thanks mate made it easy for me 🤟
Glad it helped brother! That video was horribly produced. I was still pretty new at editing when I made it.
You did a good enough job for me down in Australia mate...thanks again made life easy, good man 🤙
