I know the video is 5 years old brother, but your videos have the most detailed and easy to follow steps on this platform hands down. Thank you a 100X's
You'd be about the only guy I've seen on youtube that would use a RING SPANNER to undo this nut on the clutch adjuster, other shops will use an open ended spanner, DURRRR. Good on you for using the CORRECT tool for the job, Well done, love your video's, plain, simple, and to the point. Thanks, Teddy
Most welcome Teddy, if you look in most big twin primary cases you'll find that nut partially chewed more often than not from constant use of open enders!
Thank you for the video, it is really helpful. You have a talent at explaining things in an easy way and I really like that you also give some background as to why and how some things work or need to be done!
God I wish you can take your bike to a service center that would treat your service each time with this detail. I'm glad to find you because I got tired of getting my bike serviced half ass. You are fantastic at explaining. Thank you.
Thank you so much for those kind words, it gives you a great sense of pride to take care of your own bike, and a wider pride of ownership, but don;t be too hard on the service guys, they have the passion to get up every single day and work one other peoples bikes, and the work they do has to meet safe standards while also making a profit so they can get paid and feed their family, it's not the dream job that some people think it is.. Take care my friend and enjoy your bike.
Again.... "What do you do if you don't have the proper tool," is what I love most about your channel, my friend. Improvise, adapt and overcome. I'm glad that even though you're getting a lot of the proper tools, you're still teaching us how to figure it out if we don't. Thanks again, sir.
Said that right brother, need a tool, make a tool!... maybe in the hope that it will motivate more people to get involved in maintenance when they haven't got the money to buy special tools, as that is often the biggest bar from getting involved! Have a great week buddy, ride safe...
Another excellent and highly informative tutorial, thank you. I assume the down thumbs are all from Harley dealers who want to sell us genuine H-D primary chain slack measuring tools at 75 quid a pop...
Wow, thanks James, you are too kind, and what a dream job that would be, i guess i would have to move to the US for that, and i'd struggle with that on a few levels..lol! Thank you again, and we really appreciate the kind feedback.
@@Moonfleet41 You are most welcome and so deserving of my comments. Retired now (former licensed auto mech) do most of my own repairs on my own HD. Friend yesterday just bought a 2008 heritage Deluxe, which will need full rear brake service, clutch adj and new lower handlebars as apes are far to high for her.. Lots of crazy stuff as the 4th turning is playing out, don't roll up your sleeve. :)Thanks again Amigo, have an awesome weekend.James
Great bent coathanger tip Del, nice one. Don't know about the Dyna but on the Sportster you check the clutch cable free play by pulling the cable out of the lever rather than moving the clutch lever itself, which is the way I always used to do it too ;)
Dude, I love the way you break this down. You're super easy to follow and for someone like me when an instructor take their time and not only explains what you're supposed to do but also why it really makes it easier for the information to sink in. You have a new subscriber in me
I have the service manual, have done this many times.....but color me amazed at the additional thought and detail, subbed and look forward to other stuff. 2012 Heritage Softail here, it's been awhile (had kids) but back on her again, thanks.
Thanks although I have done mine couple few times my memory is shot I have PTSD and other ailments from the system your vid was good way for me to remember. God Bless you
Good luck with it Steve, hope it goes well, once you get in thee and doing the job, it'll come back to you and you'll make a grand job of it.. have a great week and keep safe.
It's almost time to service my bike before taking it out for a great season of ride and your videos has been very helpful and informative and given me the confidence to service my own bike! Thank you.
A video well done! Very well explained. One suggestion when checking the primary chain one would also remember to find the tightest part of the primary chain by turning and that can be done by different ways, such as Back wheel off the ground etc. But all primary chain have a tight and a loose spot. And one want to make adjustments from that tightest part of the chain. So that when buttoned up and the chain is hot from running, we do not have an extremely tight area causing stress on the bearings. Thanks again for fine video.
Good point on room temperature. I usually do my primary drain after dinner, let the bike sit with the derby cover off overnight, do my adjustment in the coolness of early morning (backed off 3/4 of a turn because I’m in Florida) and then add my primary oil. Makes for a good, long-lasting adjustment.
Great to hear mate, congratulations on your first repair project, am sure you'll agree, it's great to take care of your bike personally, gives you a greater pride of ownership!
Excellent video, I just bought a Dyna wide glide and want to give it a good going over, you explain every thing very well and I have no worries about doing the work my self, thank you !
I just got a fat bob about a month ago, before that I had my sporty. I learned a ton from you with my sporty I’m glad to see you have a dyna now! I’ll be learning a ton about my dyna from you
Subscribed and impressed. I'm working on my dyna in the states. I really like that set of tools you had with the interchangable bits and the Tee handle. -nick the bloke from across the pond
Lots of "tutorials" on UA-cam, but yours provide thoroughly detailed explanations, whereas the others are vague, or worse, involve lame attempts at standup comedy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.
great video.... i just clanged my muffler system.... took the stock off still using the resonator added a chrome throw away single muffler.... the power just popped. and the sound i like until i change to single mufflers. now the street 750 screams like a big boy. lol
Yet another real useful 'how to' for the H.D'ers Del. The bike is looking sweet as, Hope you enjoying clocking up the miles. Awrabesht to you both from me & all the clan bro. Chat soon. 😉💙🤘
Hi Al, yes indeed mate, 200miles over the weekend, just shakin' it all down, no squeaks, no leaks and singing like a jay bird... mission accomplished! Have a great week mate, love n' hugs to the clan, D&Px
Well explained video bruv. And I must say she looks good. A defo BIG change from before. Every time I look at it I see something I didn't notice before. Ride safe and enjoy the sunshine
Thanks Ray, im really proud of the bike, it was awesome last weekend just getting out for 200 miles and shaking it all down, no issues, no leaks, and it was riding better and better as the hours went by.. Feels good to have a bike i customised myself, and something that stands out from the catalogue bikes..!
Love your videos very informative and precise built my 1999 Harley Davidson from scratch an now can tackle on the maintenance part as well.... THANK YOU!
I just installed a compensator delete and removed and put back on my clutch to do so. I try and start the bike up she runs but the clutch just completely engages the lever is has all play. I did change the primary fluid as well. I loosened the clutch cable under the boot halfway and check the clutch but the threaded bolt you said that should freely turn does not I rotate it left and right and it’s hitting plates I believe
Hello Del, I replaced the (8) friction plates on my heritage 93 because bike always felt sluggish didn’t replaced steel plates nor spring plate. At first the new clutch still felt sluggish with the old spring plate that looked like it was worked before so we removed it with by adding the additional friction plate and the two steel plates. Now it feels very strong when I release the clutch halfway the bike wants to go forward really strong super nice but at the very end of the release I still feel the bike it’s losing power like it was starting from second gear or not enough gas, with the old spring plate it was way way worst now it’s very strong at first but still missing that ending and when I checked the mechanic adjustment the screw was all the way in at cold like it had no free play on the derby adjustment. The bike has easy pull clutch don’t know if this makes any difference in the adjustment itself, I did the re adjustment myself using the half a turn and still feel that missing last power from the clutch don’t know if it’s better or worse now, I sometimes hear a spark ping when trying to take off specially with a passenger on, but the neutral is easy to find the gears shift correctly also the bike feels very strong when releasing clutch until last 3/4 of release, it’s just at the end I feel sluggish response like it was starting from 2 gear when starting from a full stop otherwise the bike feels strong and normal running and shifting. where do you think it’s the problem? Spark timing off losing power ? Slow jet too small on carb size 42 ? or derby screw adjusted incorrectly to much play ? “ screw too much counterclockwise” or too little play “screw too much clockwise”? Or too little free play in the lever? It’s like the clutch starts to work with lever at 1/2 and then takes too much to fully engage
Andres you have talked about clutch, AND fueling, it's important to isolate possibilities one by one so that eventually you arrive at the problem.. So first, looking at the clutch. You said you have an "easy pull" mechanism fitted ! That is not standard. so when looking for a standard performance from your clutch, first consider if that part is either not working right or not right for your bike.. Those 'light pull' mechanisms spread the pulling load over a wider and shallower ramp at the end of the cable, this means that the cable will need to be pulled further to release the plates. Often you will have to set it to bite closer to the bar and make sure you have the requisite 3mm of free play in the lever when it's released ! One good way to identify the light pull ramp as the problem is to take it out and fit the factory ramp mechanism back in. That will tell you right away if the light pull item was your problem.! That is the most 'stand out' issue based on your explanation, so start with that, if it cures the issue, then all good, if not then let me know and we can dig deeper to try and identify what's up. Good luck buddy.. Del.
Thank you Sir, much appreciated, these are the videos upon which we founded the channel over 8yrs ago, great to still be doing them now and again! D&Px
Thanks for the videos i am new to the channel . I am attempting to do more wrenching on my 14 fatbob ,the way you explain and walk through each stage of the procedure makes it very easy to follow along and understand each of the steps. I look forward to more of your videos and doing more of my own wrenching. Thanks man.
Hi Denise, good to hear that, if you get hold of a genuine HD service manual for your bike too, then that will cover any model to model differences that may have been upgraded over the years.. Good luck with your projects.. Del.
@@Moonfleet41 thanks for getting back to me . My name is Aaron , I was using my wife u tube . I would like to ask you a question . Stage 1 done big breather pro comp pipes . Came like that . I put a fp3 tuner on it and had to add cycle map and auto tuner a as looking for more 103 I brought se211 cams dron a guy brand new 100 bucks . What else can I do or can I just ad cam and returns or ad z high flips oil pump and upgrade rocker springs . Hoping just to install and go but not sure if I need more upgrades . Can I run cam for this year and ad more to motor in winter. Getting mixed message every where I look hoping you can help this east coaster from Nova Scotia. Thanks
Good info here, Thank You! I really appreciate your Harley videos . The info you provide is like money in my pocket... Along with my Service Manual, your videos provide me the confidence to learn more about wrenching on my bikes. One thing Mate, sometimes you get to talking fast, and I have a difficult time understanding you accent. I am from the States, and speak Texan. Thanks again and, keep up the Good Work!
I had some people telling me to tighten the screw in until plate raises slightly the release it back just till the plate settles again. That aint how the shop manual says to do it. Your was is more correct in my opinion
Thanks Stephen, that would be a cool plan, what an awesome place to live, and sunshine to ride in too.. Great to hear you saved a few bucks, thats what its all about aye.. take care and keep safe mate.. Del.
Such a good video Del. Is a big improvement from where you start and where are you now in the quality of the videos. Even i don t own a Harley, it was a pleasure to watch it. I wish you and Penny all the best!
Very good videos, obviously very experienced and knowledgeable, thanks so much, my shop manual mentions cleaning the lifter filter screen when doing an oil change / service, what is your opinion on this ? I've never looked at mine !
Good to see you using a torque wrench, if for no other reason, it's a good habit for your viewers to get into, who may not have the built in torque wrench in the wrist;). Good stuff as usual Dell
Very correct Trevor.. a long strip of metal or plastic is indeed called a "Rule".... but wasn't this actually a "Tape measure"...? (just pullin yer leg mate.! >:)
Outstanding video..no fluff..no bullshit..just pertinent information..well done..thanks

You're very welcome Sir.. and thank you so much for such kind and geneorus words of support.
Learn to do it all yourself because even after paying the dealer inflated fees you cannot trust that it was all done correctly or even at all.
That coat hanger trick is a game changer
Whenever it's time again, I always come back to your fluid change clips for a refresher!

29 thumbs down...who's the idiots,...these are great tutorials..thanks for sharing Del.
There will always be Thumbdowners brother...and Harley's will always have haters..!
Love your video's straight forward and very useful thanks for making them
Great video but I have an 07 Dyna & 07 Softail, neither have a primary inspection plate. Do I have to open the case?
Automatic self adjuster mate, upgraded since the 1450..! nothing to adjust for you.
@@Moonfleet41 Thank you!
Thanks mate, this was super helpful. Keep em comin’!
Very nice video, great job, good mechanic.
I kept wanting to turn my head and cough everytime you pushed on that chain
Such a good video Del. Is a big improvement from where you start and where are you now in the quality of the videos.
Even i don t own a Harley, it was a pleasure to watch it.
I wish you and Penny all the best!
Thank you most kindly Marius, we're glad you appreciate the videos, and thank you so much for your kind comments!
Great vid Del. Everything explained really well
Very good videos, obviously very experienced and knowledgeable, thanks so much, my shop manual mentions cleaning the lifter filter screen when doing an oil change / service, what is your opinion on this ? I've never looked at mine !
As always, helpful and useful information. Enjoy your ride and thanks for the channel.
So detailed, so well done. Thank you
You're very welcome!
Hey buddy great advice as usual and thanks again for the chain tool guidance it's sorted sweet!! 👍🏻☮❤
Good to see you using a torque wrench, if for no other reason, it's a good habit for your viewers to get into, who may not have the built in torque wrench in the wrist;). Good stuff as usual Dell
great vid Del, Im loving the Dyna...great bike
Thanks Dave.. i loved making these three videos, Harley's a such a joy to service..!
Del, I was always told as an apprentice a ruler was a Monarch, what you are using is a rule!
Very correct Trevor.. a long strip of metal or plastic is indeed called a "Rule".... but wasn't this actually a "Tape measure"...? (just pullin yer leg mate.! >:)
