    This is an excellent video. All how to mechanics videos should be like this. He gets in there right to it doesn't talk a lot beating around the bush and shows every part taking out every bolt doesn't skip parts awesome man thanxx.

    Dan is the Man. Awesome to deal with and a great person to walk you through your job. My 90 Sportster was a dog until Dan did the heads and 1250 kit, spec'd the cams and ignition as well. Has been running flawlessly for years now.

      I also have a 90 with a 1275 kit and it rips, magnets failed in the rotor, can’t find aftermarket parts. Local Harley don’t work on stuff older then 2000. Where do I get the sealed parts the faster upgraded stuff. If I gotta spend money I wanna go faster at least look cooler. Nothin beats crack in the throttle and all the guys in the big bikes look over with that look of bewilderment.

Also saved this for the future. Thank you guys for making something that is detailed, simple, smart, and well thought out. My Sportster will live forever thanks to you.

    Great video Dan just like all your other videos too. Would be nice if you could make one on changing the shifting forks too. Since I may need to replace my second gear one, it's starting to slip out once in a while and I think its starting to go. But I may not need it either since I am fairly mechanical. I already put on your 120hp kit and its running very good. I still have some fine tuning to do though since I didn't get it dyno tested yet. Thanks for all your help and advice that you have given me. Have a blessed day.

    enjoying the vid. Still learning on the Sportster, but I know when doing this job on a big twin, the engine sprocket nut should not be done with impact as the jarring can knock the magnets loose and break your alternator (working on one now like that)

    On that little C-clip you could take a basic wrench, like 3/8, place the two prongs of the open end against the clip's open end and a light tap with a mallet will take it off no problem... many many ways really but that one is something most DIY mechanics should be capable of.

    Wise are those who install a pushbutton solenoid end cover (I lube the O-rings with a little silicone dielectric grease). They bypass all external wiring and the solenoid windings making them outstanding backup (or a main method for chopper owners).

  • @thakery5720
    @thakery5720 5 років тому +11

    When I have had a torx screw 'round out' as they sometimes do, I find that a hex socket driver (or Allen driver) can be gently tapped into the screw head and enable it to be removed - it pays to have both imperial and metric sized drivers available.
    A cheap multi bit set (such as from Harbour Freight or similar) will be very helpful for this as the bits have a hexagon shaft and can be used with a good quality battery drill set up in screw mode.
    Torx head screws were developed so machines can assemble things and are not made with the thought of disassembly in mind.... the guy who invented cross-head screws should also have been shot at birth !

    @clinamenaudio8971 Місяць тому

    Hello, thank you for wonderful video.I have a Sportster 1998 and the gear transmission is not fluid when i shift to a gear to other. In particulary the second to third gear is scrape. The first gear gear scratch too. All the gears worsen when the motor is hot, and I can hear a big "clank" when i shift to one gear to other. The transmission oil is the HD Formula, The clutch have right setting, but I don't know how much the clutch is old ( my bike have 80.000km but I buy it second hand). I love my bike and I would the better behaviour. Could you tell me where I can try to check and improvet transmission gear behaviour? I have a clutch problem or a box gear problem?Thank you very much from Italy

    I wonder what the oil is for in the primary. Is it for the chain, the clutches? It seems like oil would interfere with stator. Would you need oil if you was not using the transmission? I’m doing a project that only needs the engine not the transmission.

I mean I can move it a bit and its not rock solid on main shaft on gearbox. is it ok like that?

    Excellent video, though I would be hard pressed to get all the little parts back in the proper order....camera phone might be the answer. Question, my 2005 sporty 1200 can run up to 4-5 grand in neutral. When I put it in gear and pull away, it sounds like an irregular hammer hitting the inside of the motor. Any ideas what might have broken loose ?

    • @HAMMERPERFORMANCE
      @HAMMERPERFORMANCE  4 роки тому

      Sounds like it's pinging. Run better gas. You might also try the 10R12X Gold plugs, they're a colder plug and will resist detonation and pinging better.

    • @HAMMERPERFORMANCE
      @HAMMERPERFORMANCE  2 роки тому

      No, this is a Buell Thunderstorm engine. They made quite a bit more power than a 1200S motor due to better heads and hotter cams, and the factory air cleaner and exhaust were substantially better as well. A typical stock 1200S would make on the order of 65hp, where a stock Thunderstorm equipped Buell S1W, X1, or S3 would put down around 85hp.
