Great Video, I wonder what a dealer would charge you to replacement of the air filter. Could you give us your thoughts on the Pan American? I've been on the fence about purchasing one. One of the main concerns is the high cost of maintenance..
All dealerships now, Harley and otherwise, charge a premium for labor. Best if you learn how to do it yourself with the shop manual, and countless UA-cam videos. Get to know your bike as well!
I think you have to take your bike, to your HD dealer, after installing the Screaming Eagle air filter, to have your PanAmerica computer re-flashed, for the fuel/air ratio updates?
@@allenaskey278 no, the air filters designed for the Pan America do not require any kind of reflash. Same with the Screamin Eagle exhaust. No reflash required.
Found you guys by accident. Looks like we ride some of the same areas in NC and eastern TN mountains. You should consider offering upgrade parts for the Pan America. For those of us that off-road this bike, we need a pre-filter. If you designed and offered one I'd buy it. I think many PA owners would as well.
Great video guys! I love a good instructional, but jesus H-D!! All that to change the filter? I know videos are edited, so how long did this take in real time?
I have an interest in doing my own maintenance and I hate the idea of placing the air filters under the tank. To me that’s a deliberate deal breaker. If it were like the ktm 1390 SAS or 1250 gs where it’s in front of the tank and not under it, I would consider it. This WAS the only Harley I was considering,….sadly, not anymore. If they moved the filter under the seat or in front of the tank, and added a shaft drive, it would be number one on my list. As is, removed from list, sadly. Good video though.
@@hydroboy35th prefer simplicity and saving time. Though I have heard of GS in some cases not even being greased by the factory at the splines causing me to reconsider that line. Don’t think the 1300 gs changed the design either.
@@plzseeme no bike is perfect. I’ve owned just about every manufacturer, just pick what you like and be happy. They all have little nuances here and there but that just comes with the territory. Thank god for maintenance manuals and UA-cam haha 🍻
Geezus...that is pretty much the same as changing a Honda Goldwing air filter...you would think the motor company would simplify the process...it looks like a nightmare.
It’s crazy how bad the stock filter is. Even the screaming eagle one let’s fine dust by. Poor design all around. I tried a pre filter over the front snorkel and the bike hated it and ran like crap until I removed it
Great tutorial videos. Seriously well done. Good instruction. Good video quality. Great explanation. Well done Jake.
I am now super depressed that I have to do this. What an insane amount of work for an air filter change.
Thankfully, the oil change is simple. Like, side of the road simple. I guess something had to be hard! Great video, by the way.
Great video! Thank you for making it, with your help I feel confident in changing my filter over the winter months as well.
Good instruction. Good video, thanks
Man was keen on buying a PA until I saw this video, stuff doing that after every off-road ride
Same... I've been looking at the PAs... binge watching all the maint. videos and will just keep my DR650.

Okay, thank you
Adds about $300 to your 10k service. I’ll skip it until gas mileage starts dropping below 45-47 mpg
Great video. Question. If you disconnect the fuel line onthe bottom do you still need to remove it from the pump end?
We don't think so. You can probably get away with keeping it attached at the tank.
Yes, keep it connected to the fuel tank and just fish it through when you reinstall.
i have to wonder if ya break one of those electrical clips how much trouble would that cause????
The feul pump goes out

You can get it down to about 20 mins
Where they put the air filter is a dealbreaker for me.

Afraid of a little maintenance are we ? Lol. Shaft drive??? Apparently you haven’t seen all the failures GS owners complain about.

Yeah very true. At least we have the freedom to choose. Thank God and our vets for that.
I like the pan America but that’s a lot of work just for an air filter. I’ll stick with my old bikes that are simple to work on.
I have a 21 goldwing bagger, and the process to change the air filter is way worse on there. This still isn't great, but it's better than that.

That filter is one of the worst I’ve seen lol. Were you riding in sandy conditions or has it just been forever since you’ve changed it?
that's ridiculous to change an air filter SMH
That's a pretty awful solution for air filter.
Liberace ghey
