Hy. I see that you have after market spark plug wire and boot. Did you manage to remove the old wire from the coil? Or the new wire is soldered on a piece of old wire. Thanks
@@Johnnyreengo managed to find what I was doing wrong. I checked the rear and put it on R, didn’t know I had to put the sprockets for R on F. Hence it wasn’t turning
Had a crash and a bunch of stuff broke on my '16 dl650. This is very helpfull to do a service whilst I'm rebuilding the bike! Thank you
Hopefully not badly hurt
Awesome thanks. This is on my list in the near future.
Thanks for the feedback, hope it goes well.
Great video. I just got ahold of a first gen SV with a second gen engine and have no idea on miles. I probably need to check the valves.
I would say so yes
I like to check everything when we get a new bike just in case, who knows how long it’s been standing with the same oil after all
Fantastic video very informative. Thank you. Will help keep my 1st Gen alive 😂
Hope it was useful
Hit the top of stubborn bolts with a hammer before trying to loosen them, it helps a lot. I work with threads and thread guages in my job
Or an impact driver 🤷🏼
And don't forget the ANTI. SEIZE 😊😊😊😊😊😊

Oh
I’m afraid it was done before we worked on it
Appreciated thank you
No problem
do you have links as to where i can get manual books? i want to take apart my bike for the 1st time.
I don’t I’m afraid but Google will often lead you manuals lib which can be very handy. If I can get an online freebie then I download onto a pad
If you don't want to take a chance with the crank bolt cover, put the bike in 6th gear and rotate the engine with the rear wheel 😊😊🍺🍺
Assuming you have a paddock stand as the bloody thing doesn’t have a centre stand 😂
cant turn engine more then one turn, would you know why?
On the starter or by hand. Not much to go on
take your spark plugs out

The timing is a little confusing
Is it
Dust in the wind.
Er ok ?
Too deep for me I’m afraid, but as long as you understand it
He’s saying ur engine was exposed to dust in the wind due to an outside service
sure glad I have a Sportster......no adjustment required, hydraulic valves.
Well push rod motors are usually very easy anyway
