    Why remove the center council? Merely leave fuel pump harness off and disconnect the vapor hose (same one you connect at 6:13) at the bottom left side of tank near fuel pump connection

    I just remove my tank on my road glide. I didn’t take the console off. Seems like a lot of extra work. I didn’t pull the main fuse either. I’m just trying to figure out if the fuel vent lines go in a particular area or just drop down towards the ground.

    Had to remove the tank on my 2015 Road Glide Special to change spark plug wires. This video (and the quick disconnect gas line) made this a snap. Thanks!

    When I need to remove the fuel tank, if it was started, I let the bike sit for a few hours. That relieves the fuel pressure in the fuel line. Then just pop the fuel line off. Like the way you did it, a few drops come out, that's it. Don't need to pull the main fuse, disconnect the fuel pump wiring and crank the engine. To much extra work.

    • @jpcycles
      @jpcycles  4 роки тому +2

      Just a little extra info. Its the "by the book" way to do it. If you don't want to remove the extra 2 crews and leave it on that's totally fine.

    As always, very clear and precise videos from J&P Cycles. Can you please do a video for the M8 Road King as the Service Manual is somewhat confusing. It first states to; “separate fuel pump connector (Grey)” which is shown located by the ECM, then later it states; “Models without fairing: Disconnect fuel pump connector (Black) located under the console.”

    you didn't show the one plug i needed to see. the one comming out of the bottom of the gas tank. my lug went bad so i ordered a new one. but of course the wires are different color codes on each side. my initial failure happened on the road. so i used sigle wire clips to fix it. with out thinking about it i removed them a week before te plug came and i dont know what color goes to what color.

      Wrap an allen wrench in a rag and push up on the check valve to release pressure. Shouldn't put out much fuel.

      I just replaced my stock spark plug wires with SE 10mm wires using this video. I have a 2020 FLTRXS - Road Glide special. It’s the exact same thing. The only minor difference is the bottom console nut is 3/8” ( instead of 5/16”).

  • @johnmatero234
    @johnmatero234 3 роки тому

    I have a 2021 Road glide and the tank is not centered… it’s off to the left a bit. Is there any adjustment up at the front bolts to shift side-to-side? Was thinking of maybe inserting a washer or two on one of the front bolts to shift the tank so it’s aligned. Thanks!

    • @jpcycles

      maybe a 1/8th inch or so, with the way the tank s tunneled for the frame it won't be much.

      I have a Heritage Classic M8 from 2018. Was also searching and found no adequate video. So last weekend I removed the seat, removed the 2 screws in front and backside of the tank. I could lift the backside of the tank and put some clothes underneath. So I got access to the spark plug. After lowering the backside I did the same with the front side and changed the other spark plug. No unplugging of any wire or gas tubing. 🙂👍

    Your video is meaningless. My buddy used to ride a ‘66 Panhead when he was a member of a bike gang. He tells me the story of when he was cruising (or should I say - vibrating) down the highway and his Harley gas tank fell onto his lap. At 60mph he’s got one hand on the handle bar and the other trying to steady the gas tank between his legs. The hold down bolt sheared off. Love that Harley Davidson quality that’s built into every bike.
