Pro tip: about the oil filter. Fill the filter up with oil before or maybe 15mins or before you start the oil change and the oil will soak up in the filter and it will not spill out on you and cover the filter up hole up with something until you get ready for it. 👍
I appreciate it! I don’t leave it out in the open, I remove old filter, wipe and install new filter immediately! But I’ll have to let it soak next time and see how that works! Thanks for watching!
@@carolinarider5237 I misunderstood you at first! For some reason I thought you meant cover the housing on the bike.. not the filter. My bad. It’s been a long day. Thanks for the feedback!
great video! straight to the point! . however I just have one question. My softail is at 5000 miles. Do I need to change the primary and transmission fluid? The owners manual says at 10k miles to do the primary lubricant. And 20k to do the transmission lubricant. Would it hurt to change the primary and transmission and engine oil all at once with only 5000 miles?
First time to your channel, thanks for the video. Beautiful RG! I was interested in seeing what goes into the 10 k change. I prefer to do the 3 oil changes myself but it is the other items (non TCLOCK) that I am leaning towards bringing her in for service. I will definitely watch some of your other videos as well before deciding. Thank you for your service, go TFEH. Be and ride safe.
@@MotoHeadKyle I just finished watching several more videos and just subscribed. I had no idea how to update my whim. Thank you again. Wonderful to see that you ride with your dad; every ride is a blessing.
@@pd6569 I appreciate that! Thank you. Definitely blessed to have my dad around and to cherish our rides together. Looking forward to talking to you again!
Thanks for watching! I personally love them. They definitely took me a little bit to get use to them but their super grippy. I also think their aesthetically pleasing.
It works OK but it does have a tendency to move a little bit when removing the filter which allows some oil to drip but I usually put paper towels in the back to help with that. I think it was $10 or $14 when I got it so overall I still think it’s worth it
@@MotoHeadKyle you know you’ve gotta excellent point there brotha about finding it on the road pretty much anywhere! I’m changing my oil soon so definitely gonna try this out! 🤙🏾
@@bigbaggerben7504 yeah I try to make it simplistic, some people pay a decent penny and have stuff shipped out. And they just get in their head about what oil to run. I’ve used Harley’s oil, amsoil and royal purple over the years and kinda always liked how my stuff ran on Mobil one, and the fact I can get it cheaper and at any auto parts store near me and even Walmart carries it.
@@MotoHeadKyle dang that’s eye opening! How often do you change yours? I’m pretty much a year round rider in NorCal. Just about to hit 8k on my snake venom 🦈
@@bigbaggerben7504 I change all 3 holes every 5K or so! Yes me too! I try not to ride it much when it drops to low temps unless I know I’ll be out riding for a continuous 30 minutes or more to try to make sure I don’t get condensation in the oil. But that’s awesome man! I’m about to hit 13K!
This guy holding the torque specs like he’s part of some secret club. It’s okay to still tell us, unless your model and year was custom made and is one of a kind to you, some of us might have the same bike hence same specs. Also, the primary covers of the M8’s actually are the same torque spec because the engines are the same.
Yeaah sometimes it’s just inevitable. Especially when the miles keep racking up faster and faster. I get tired of doing it. I usually try to take it in every other service just for a “professional’s look” lol
Thanks for watching guys! Hope you enjoy another service video😉

@@MotoHeadKyle you can cover it 🤷🤦 iv done this all my life on all my vehicles, bettet than a dry filter

Great video. Getting ready to change the fluids in my 2020 new to me road glide. Are you using mobile 1 v-twin oil?
Another great video sharing your talent of fixing is helping a lot of people and saving them money
Thank you! Thanks for consistently supporting the channel🤘🏻
What floorboards are you running?? Love those

Second time on your channel, new sub.. Really enjoy this! thank you!
Thank you! Welcome to the channel🤘🏻
How do you like those floorboards. Do the small screws sticking up bother your feet ?
Thanks for the Awesome videos

You must be racking up the miles! It seems like every other month your doing an oil change🤣 Another good quality video, keep it up!
HA! Yes, seems like I’m changing the oil or trying to keep the bike clean as much as I ride it🤣
@@MotoHeadKyle LOL! Hey at the end of the day thats the reason you bought it.. To ride it Stay safe Kyle!
@@thatsickrg2307 exactly!! Stay Safe brother.
Good video. What oil filter you use
Just the OEM Harley Filter
Kyle how does the oil trough work when removing the filter? Do you still get oil dripping underneath it?
It works OK but it does have a tendency to move a little bit when removing the filter which allows some oil to drip but I usually put paper towels in the back to help with that. I think it was $10 or $14 when I got it so overall I still think it’s worth it
love to see how you verbally check the rotors 😂
M8 doesn't call for a 3 hole change at 10k
Beautiful paint
Thanks man I appreciate it 🤘🏻 thanks for watching!
Hey brotha how do you like using that mobil 1 synthetic on the stock 114?
It’s great, I’ve really only ever used Mobil 1 in my bikes. It’s affordable, and you can get it on the road pretty much anywhere

What did you put in the primary?
Torco’s equivalent to Harley’s heavy gear oil
U didn't show the primary

I don’t post them because I get millions of comments saying their wrong, or different models blah blah blah
What type of motorcycle lift is that? Thanks
It’s a Harbor Freight Lift, & we added harbor freight ramps onto the sides. Only thing else that is different is the upgraded wheel clamp
@@MotoHeadKyle what benefit are the ramps on the side?
@@scotta6610 because there’s no where to put your feet when you ride up on the ramp
@@MotoHeadKyle ah makes sense. Thanks. Enjoy your videos. Waiting for you to do one on helmets :)
@@scotta6610 thanks Scott! I’ll see what I can make happen this winter
I just did my 5k and definitely paid the Harley tax on it
Yeaah sometimes it’s just inevitable. Especially when the miles keep racking up faster and faster. I get tired of doing it. I usually try to take it in every other service just for a “professional’s look” lol
@@MotoHeadKyle yeah I need to see if JDs does K services
@@Jack-b5o6r I think they do! Would be curious to see what the price difference is between them and HD
