Over the years I developed a liking for working with my hands, a woodworker by trade I grew up watching my dad working on everything from handyman type of activities to working on his bike, he had an Yso moto an Italian brand; I develop my love for motorcycles during my early childhood, my dad´s bike had a side-car, the family car. Through my videos I just want to show how I do the work, for me to review and for anybody else who might be doing the same thing to their bike and can get some ideas, I also want to give credit to companies and people that help and/or give advice throughout the process.
Harley Davidson’s Shifter Arm and Axis fix
After replacing the bushings that lived in the shift shifter mechanism the rattle did not improve. So in an effort to fix it I replace the shifter shaft with a greaseable one (Pingel Greaseable Shifter Shaft 62142) and since I was in the neighborhood I decided to also upgraded the shifter link to Kuryakyn 9674 Motorcycle Component: Grooved Shift Linkage for 1980-2019 Harley-Davidson.

Replacing the oil filter can get expensive after years of oil changes, a reusable filter can save money in the long run, the trick is to do a good job with the cleaning portion of the process. I sometimes wash the filter with with brake cleaner and sometimes with hot soapy water.
Installation of Watts Premier Instant Hot Water Recirculating Pump System

#WattsPremierInstanHotWaterRecirculatingPum, came ready to be install, giving an estimate of installation time would not be fair because I had to move a lot of items just to get to my #waterheater, but suffice to say that it was a relatively quick installation, I followed the instructions to the T and it went well. The #WattsPump seams to be a well made product but of course I am not an expert ...

After months debating how to modified the ventilation system on my bike so that clean air would be the main source of air coming through the in-take I decided on this system by using the stock breather bolts and a few other parts.

Using this Feuling tool to check the runout of the crank is both quick and accurate, including the up and down movement I recorded .004’s for which I am very happy.

Note: for anyone looking for a solid fix, take a look at the Head Hoggers bushing. It's a great design. No, I do not work for them. They are a USA company too!!
I know you followed the directions, but, I’m wondering why it is necessary to drain the hot water heater? Seems like once the water supply is off, and release pressure in the line, you’d be ok to disconnect the line at the hot water heater, and install the pump…. Thoughts?
Harley Davidson. 20th century technology in the 21st century.
Did almost everything the same except I have a M8 114 and I ran hose to atmosphere, not a catch can or filter. Have no issues
I did the same thing I was not able to rethread the grease fitting back on after insertion. What did you end up doing and that would be the thing to show thanks
I have done it without expensive jig tools. There are some good 'close up' videos on YT.
Hot water to brush your teeth?
Thanks, been considering the Jagg cooler for awhile. Will be installing one thanks to you.
Thankyou for this video tutorial! nice work! i will look into it for my roadking special m8 2017. keep the rubber down brother! safe trips...
Did you have a heat trap installed in the anode rod with this recirculating pump?
i planning to do it the same way you do it sir, but it don´t know if it is a good idea that the filter is hanging from the oil lines. Did you had any problems with that issue?
Thank you for showing the actual detailed installation. Exactly what I needed.
After installation of the Watts Hot Water Recirculating Pump,I started using it right away. As long as the pump is running all is fine, but when the pump shuts off I have pipe bumping at the faucet where the bypass valve is installed, when running water in the kitchen. I installed an arrester on the Hot water side at the by pass valve, and still have bumping when running water at the kitchen with the pump off, I turn on the pump and it stops. Should it take an arrester on the cold water too, to stop the bumping?
It looks like it might be a good video, but I'm not goingbto listen with the TV or radio on in the background. Bye.

Looks better with the stock cover
Hello Alvaro, Can you please advice how tight I should screw those breather bolts?
Hi, the book says 22-24 ft/lb.
Very easy job to alleviate the problem. However, there are cons with this system. Unless your water heater tank is spiffy clean, the potable water that you drink will be mixed with the hot water from the tank. Imagine a homeowner that rarely flushes the tank will be consuming all that crude, sediments, deposits and heavy metal deposits within the cold water system.
Does each sink need a check valve, or just the one that is farthest from the water heater? And also if the recirculatory pump does not have a female swivel adapter on it, but just a male threads out of it...what do you do?
I did this to my Heritage this past summer and I love it,when I took everything apart I looked in the throttle body for oil and other contaminants and it was dry,so for now I’m just running with the breather filter,looks good and she runs like a charm,to answer your question,just keep it the way it is
Wow! I thought I was the only one that had to move my ham before working on my water heater
Open air cleaner looks good but if you get caught in a rain storm , you'll wish you had the cover on it. You'll suck water right into the carb. And that's not good.
to get rid of the clunk, you need to adjust the shifter pawn in the gearbox
hi, where did you get those breather bolts?
This shows real life DIY not the perfect videos the manufactures produce.
Hello I installed one yesterday , went well , owner seems happy with the device his angle stops were reversed at the wall so that caused some confusion but I flipped it around and all is well! Great video!
I discovered when when the unit is on, the valve will initially keep your sink lukewarm, but the plus is if you have a Tushy bidet, that in turn will keep that water line lukewarm also.
He did use Teflon tape to mount the pump. But that is NOT necessary. The pump swivel fitting uses a gasket to seal. And the copper corrugated tube connection swivel also uses a gasket. The gaskets seal the connection. The swivels have straight threads and will not seal anything, even with Teflon tape. It even says it in the instructions " If a gasketed, flexible copper water heater connector is used, pipe dope or Teflon tape is not required."
Truly thanks for sharing. How much roughly has your temperature been reduced by using that JAGG system? 10 or 30 degrees & have you explored riding in 98-105 temperatures yet with that JAGG? Thank you!
Have a 110springer softail. Going to try your idea. Truly love your kindness. Plus just real..very rare now days.
Till it plugs always go up leaves oil in motor an relieves pressure 7/16 hose
Great video, what size of black tubing did you use ?
Same size of tubing as the ones that come from the factory.
I like the open filter look. It looks more custom and more powerful(which it is) so show it off.
How do you test that the fan is working?never heard or seen the fan on, on my bike.
Well, the fan is kind of loud, I hear it when stop on a light for instance, specially at the beginning you know, a new noise.
@@inthegarage.withalvaro.1344 I took the fan off the bike and hooked it directly to a battery, fan works. Put it back on the bike, ran wires to the battery, fan didn't come on. I tried wiring a switch so I could turn the fan on manually, fan won't come on. Put in a 180° switch, fan won't come on. Tried emailing and calling jagg,no response.
@@scottbradshaw5249 man, sorry about your issues with the fan, I guess it could be a bad one, I have to say, other than the thermo switch I have had no problems.
@@scottbradshaw5249 sorry that you have this issue with your fan, mine seams to work very well. The situation you described is beyond my pay grade.
I believe I had a ground issue,the fan is grounded to a painted bracket. I used a round file to remove paint from the bracket bolt holes and sanded the paint off the bottom of the bracket holes.I wired in a toggle switch so I can turn the fan on when I want to instead of wondering and hoping it will come on.
Checked mine at 5k and the springs were ready to break,glad i checked
You might try a 1/2 socket, instead of metric, on the Hayden
Nice job ! I just came across your channel in my feed actually. I'm happy to support your efforts and those of other fellow moto content creators. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from you in the future ; keep up the great work and ride safe out there.
@@inthegarage.withalvaro.1344 youtube.com/@inthegarage.withalvaro.1344👍
run a line down ending by the frame and zip tie it to the frame ,you don't need the filter, crank case pressure should have no restriction .
I don’t like the original covers because everyone talks about heat and with those that’s all they can really do is draw is hot air in
The Teflon tape should have been used before mounting the pump.
The factory cover is ok in cooler weather but the air its pulling in is hot air off the fins
I like your setup there. I will do the same when my shift shaft assembly needs service. Very heavy thick grease would be best for that application.
Thank you, this is something I’ve wanted to do for some time.
Great job and nice project...clean your garage🥴🥴
It's nice and all that you replaced the shift lever with new bushings, But then didn't upgrade the shift rod with the crap stock ball joints that wear out and pop off and leave ya stranded!. Ya need to replace those with Heim joints!.
Had to go to another video for better information and every other video says use blue lock tight.
That was very helpful in that I've just replaced the bushings for the second time. As our bikes get older the wear seems to become more prevalent. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve done it twice myself hopefully with the ability to grease the shaft it would be better and quieter. Thanks for stopping by.
Good fix. The most expensive fix is to remove the case, bore the hole larger, and insert needle bearing sleeve. Currently, a steel cylinder is rotating inside an aluminum housing, and it just gets sloppy with time. Even brass bushings would be an improvement over the stock setup. Good fix, my friend. That grease fitting on the shaft is about as good as it gets with the stock setup.
Great video
Hard to believe I'm the first commenter...I'm new to all this re-cir pump stuff but after buying and refurb/remodeling my mobile home and final resting place I decided to try this system for my kitchen sink...which is way on the other end of my place. So I found one of these units on Ebay and installed it. For me the install was a piece of cake, but I'm very mechanically inclined. I only needed one medium crescent wrench... Done! Beware...the two main fittings in and out of the pump use a "ONE" way valve. Once installed I had questions so I contacted the tech service hot line provided with the literature. I was amazed at how quite this unit is...as the tech guy said... these pumps are quiet and some are very quiet. My other concern was that the motor/cartridge housing get fairly hot. The Tech guy confirmed that yes it does...when the pump is operating. After 24hrs this has been confirmed. OKAY...now here's the rub. Instant "HOT" water? Not gonna happen. Hot water within a minute is acceptable. Now for the rub...The way this works is that it keeps the hot water circulating thru your water system...hot side to cold side constantly, or should I say warm side when not in use. The pump thermo sensor controls this. BUT...on the flip side...if you want "COLD" water it take as much or more time for that to happen...hence the rub or trade off. So for me...instead of waiting "Literally" 2 minutes for warm to hot water...I get "warm" water pretty much at the hit, and the hot within a minute...which is much better than my original system. So... okay...it does a pretty good job. Now the final test will just be time & reliability. I did a LOT of research and shopping around...and some of these pumps are ridiculously expensive! This original post was from an Eastman Nevercold 70601 under sink unit video. I do a lot of business with Amazon and the Eastman water heater top mount unit on Amazon is under $300 bucks. But essentially the same unit under sink mount is over $500 bucks! I don't get that. If anything it should be the same or less and they would sell a ton of these under sink units. They are really easy to install. So there's my take...worth a couple hundred bucks...and I'm reasonably satisfied...and that's no easy task.
