Don't know why they can't just have a mark on the ds.that shows where it should be cold ,on the jiffy stand
The lady in the background at the 3 minute mark is everyone of us and I love her for it.
Well when you graduate High school you won't. This video a waste of 5 minutes of your life for you also?
I will say one thing they sure made complicated mess out of simply checking engine oil
Amen brother.
Thanks for this my road glide oil level is two notches below full and I wanted to make sure I didn't need to add any
"Insert it into the hole and turn it counterclockwise"???
Thanks much clearer than hardly O'Neill menu
Nice straightforward video.. thanks….
Sure makes checking oil a pain in the butt
On the Electra glide 2021 the engine light will come on if you run a little low. 107 m8.
Thank you for this
The bike running for 2 minutes is considered "hot"? Thanks for clearing up why there's upright marks on the dipstick - I didn't know it was so they could use the same dipstick for trikes.
Glad we can help
Thank you buddy
Righty tighty = clockwise

Thank you Sir
You can be at the top or bottom marks just not over, he should say its best 2 b in the middle but use some common sense, if u leaving on a 3000 mile road trip u might wanna b more up at the top line.
Is this procedure the same on a 2008 road glide? Thank you....
Funny.. the chick at the 3:00 min mark bouncing in and out says ... oops.
I have a 2002 Harley-Davidson ultra classic and I cannot find the oil stick
IS IT COMMON FOR THE 114 TO USE A LITTLE OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES
define a little ,, its a Harley
So the first cold oil level was not correct by a long way.
Doesn’t it mean that it was correct because it ended up right where it should be after he started it and ran it for 2 minutes?
@@boblafountaine9560 hi Bob, hope you and your loved ones are safe and well. You have to make a small allowance for my language as I am English. Of course I agree with you the second oil level in the middle cold is ok and the first level must have been false. I think because of the first false oil level indication, HD should say 'only test the cold oil level after running the engine for a couple of minutes on the side stand,' because if you test it without running the engine first you will (may) get a false low, which some riders will believe and may add oil and that could put the hot oil level above the full mark. In fact they do say (in the manual) to run it on the side stand for a couple of minutes, but only after new oil has been added. My M8 Road King is the 8th Harley in 25 years and I never had inconsistent reading on oil levels before. I think this miss-communication by Harley is a major contributor to overfilled M8`s and oil in the air filter. The guy's comment about the upright oil level is not accurate, the upright oil level scale is for when the bike is on the workshop lift and bing filled by the tech. But do they run it for two minutes Before they test the oil or is the upright level ok?
The reason this came up is I got my bike back from the dealer after the first 1,000km dealer service and when I got home the engine oil was over full and the gearbox (transmission) was low. The gearbox oil level is, according to the manual, supposed to be checked cold (ambient temp). Now dealers are telling riders not to run the oil, hot near the full mark ie 3 lines down and that's complete rubbish, the full hot is the full hot and should be ok to be at or close to. Full oil helps with oil residence time and engine cooling and we need all the cooling we can get here in Asia, mostly 95`F here. If your interested I put on a stage one and tuned it with a V&H FP3. Also diverted the the crankcase breather to atmosphere instead of to the air intake. That has put the engine temp down to 285 from 310. I also added a tank lift which make the engine look much better and I think helps a bit with the cooling. Kind regards, Bill
what about a trike and the tranny oil and the primary oil
Can't see anything on that dip stick !
observation: When I become President all bike dealers must make the customer check the oil or no sale. Frankly they are too stupid to be on 2 wheels.
observation: If I were making this I would have highlighted the stick with a Sharpie. . . for all the clueless people apparently who need a video on how to check oil.
I never check the oil or any fluids on my CVO, hopefully it will check out soon so I can buy a BMW. This Harley is a POS!
