That's a great video! How did you determine that you needed to change the oil, mileage, ride comfort, etc?
Ride comfort and the fact that in 68k miles the oil was never changed. Rides so much better now.
@@TechnMoto I just saw this video and commented. What pressure do you set your rear shocks to? I have a '95 Electra Glide Classic and from what I can interpret from the manual, mine should be at 3.5 PSI. That's what I have been running and seems fine, but not so sure. I run the front forks at 15-17 PSI. Thanks!
you don't need to determine anything, the job is simple, hydraulic oil is cheap... do it every couple or three years, that way your ride is always "prime"... do the brake fluid too...
Very concise video on how to change shock oil. You’re skills and willingness to share them is an asset to the Motorcycling community.
Thank you very much for the compliment but I am just an average guy trying to save a buck. 😂
I just found this. Thank you very much brother. Some things are so simple when you know what to expect!!
Glad it helps.
Ain’t that the truth
Wow! I didn't know you had to change the oil in the air shocks! Learn something new every day. Better add that to my list of maintenance items while my '95 Electra Glide Classic is down. It has 102,000 miles on it and I doubt the oil in them has ever been changed. Thanks for sharing!
Don’t have to but it will most likely give a better ride if you do.
@@TechnMoto what pressure you recommend for riding solo? My book says 0 psi. That can’t be right. I have them at 3.5 psi now and seems ok.
@@xlr8r3VA Set it at the level you like. I had mine at 10-15 most of the time but I was fully loaded. If it was just me I would drop them to 5.
Thanks, I changed the oil successfully and the bike now rides great again.
Awesome 👏 I noticed the same thing when I did mine. Glad I could help out in some small way
Did u notice a difference in shock absorption
Thank you 🙏🏻 saved my day!
Glad it helped.
Great video! Doing this afternoon. The 2 things I will do different is put 10wt shock oil in and eliminate the tubes by putting a Schrader valve on each shock.
👍
Any pics, Great Idea.
Your always straight to the point, I love your videos 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
wow, thanks brother. I appreciate you watching and commenting. God bless, stay safe
Good video for those with these shocks, you're the first one to do this Mike, good on you 👍
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the support buddy
I just swapped a set of 2006 street glide 12” air jobs on my 2004 EG also had to put fluid in them as most of it had leaked out but what a difference in ride thanks for the video
Thanks for sharing. Glad it worked out for you. Take care and ride safely
Great sharing my friend. Big thumbs up for this 👍🏼 Have a good day & stay safe.
Thanks
I didn't knew that. Learned something new again today.
Cool 😎
I wish I had seen this a couple months ago. I just put Progressive on mine. As always, great video Mike.
Thanks 👍
Good to know! I never knew that!
Cool 😎
Great how to video brother, I learned something new today, I didn't know that, I've been thinking about putting the Legend Suspension on my bike but damn they are expensive, thanks for sharing brother 👍🏼💯
OZARKS H-D RIDER'S no problem. I still ride on my original shocks front and rear. I don’t have the free money to spend on upgrading a 30k motorcycle 😂
@@TechnMoto I hear ya brother,💯
@Ozarks Legends ar BIG MONEY for sure
Great mechanic work. Wish I knew more about car mechanics. Nice share my friend.
Thank you very much!
Nice video showing how to change the Harley rear Air shock Fluid change. Enjoyed till the end. New here
AB's Kitchen Recipes & Vlogs thanks
hey Mike , great video tutorial , lol I probably wont ever do this but watched full view to support LOL , have a great weekend stay safe
Thanks, you too!
Nice walk through, thorough explanation!
thanks for coming by
Thanks bro👏👏👏👏
@@user-cr3rj1jy1y np
I swapped mine for the hand adjustables but they ride too stiff for me. I made the mistake of laying the old air shocks down and one leaked a couple ounces. I wanna put em back on. The oil that leaked was clean. I just wanna put a couple ounces back in. What oil did Harley put in there? Thanks much and thanks for an easy to follow well done vid. Ride Safe man.
As far as I know it is 10w fork oil. That’s what I use with success.
Great video! Saved me buying a Mityvac only to use once. And yes, you can drain all the old oil out by hanging them upside down overnight with the fittings out. Ask me how I know...😂
Cool. Thanks for the tip.
@@TechnMoto I got 11 ozs out of each 12.75 shock doing that.
How you know?
I have a question. I have same kind of shocks and when I turn them upside down oil comes out of the air inlet .is it suppose to and what weight is the best to yse
@@joemcclellan6326 leave them hang upside down overnight and all the oil will drip out of the hole. I measured the volume in mine and it came out to 11ozs in each shock. I refilled them with a 2oz syringe I got from tractor supply. It works perfectly. Screw the tip into the shock hole and fill with 10w fork oil as in this video.
Great video sir! Thank you, so my 1 shock is leaking roughly about 1 tablespoon oil and I need to “seal” the leak with “ stop leak oil” that will hopefully stop the leak, so your video truly helped. Thank you for sharing!
Np. Good luck with it.
Great video, helped me a lot, thnx
Cool 👍
This is nice and informative, learned something new, I always loved this wonderful Harley Bike
thank you
@@TechnMoto My pleasure
This is good sharing so everyone knows. Especially they have like this motor bike.
thanks for the comment friend
This really did seem simple thanks
super easy. getting the shocks off the bike is the hard part
Hello Mike, Thank you. Have a great day too and God Bless. 💕NonnaGrace
Thanks
Might be a dumb question but can you just drain the fluid out by removing the steam frist or it have to be drained using the air forced in?
You can try it if it don't work do what I did. good luck
Excellent and informative!!!
Hey thanks Nick 👍
Going for lunch, keeping the video open till the end =))
You're the best!
Amigo buenas tardes , tengo unos amortiguadores de ese tipo pero ya me tiraron líquido , de pueden reparar?????
@@mauriciomarquezmarin2218 👍
You are legend.
😂 your too kind. Thanks 🙏
@@TechnMoto lol.
Thank You !!!! 🤘 Realy needed this 👍
🤔 not sure what you mean by your comment
You can also use the syringe to suck the oil out of the shock.
I guess you could
@@TechnMoto I just finished changing the oil in mine as per your video but I don't have an air source so I had to improvise. The syringe worked great to draw the old oil out.
awesome!
Wow! Hi my friend, i`m coming to your home with a bell & fully watched.keep safe and staycon n God Bless
thanks
@@TechnMoto your welcome
Great job to share ❤️🙏🙏
Thank you friend
I love watching your content hehehe
Why thank you so much my friend
Very interesting video, like !!!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you do both shocks or just 1?
I did both
Hi. how many milliliters do I need to fill on one Road King suspension? Is there anyone to tell me. Thanks.
Just convert the amount I said in the video into milliliters or measure the amount you remove and then add the same amount.
Great video . My question is it ten ounces for each shock is it the same step for both shocks . It might sound like a dumb question but heck I don't know .
same for both shocks, approx. ten ounces in each
@@TechnMoto Thanks man this video let me know everything I needed to know harley shop said I need new shocks after I explained the issue I thought ridiculous problem solved 👍
does anyone know the part number for a rebuild kit for these shocks ? need new seals
Sorry, no
Can you tell me which oil you used in the rear shocks?
Great video!
I listed a link to it in the description area- 10wt
Very helpful. How did your ride change ??
seems to be smother on the bumps
I put too much pressure inside and the oil came out . Ist there any rep set or something to buy? Or just put new oil inside and try?
Like the video shows I used 10wt oil nothing else
It may be a stupid question but what weight oil and brand should I use. Thanks for the video.
In the description- *Fork Oil- amzn.to/2H5Z619 this is what I use. but you can use any brand you like as long as the weight is the same.
Thank you very much this video will help a lot of people including my self
@@cowboy3300 no problem, have a good night
I saw where someone put in a heavier oil to make a smoother ride. Does this sound plausible?
Does your syringe have threads on it and what type brand and weight oil did u use thank you!
Link for oil in the description area. No threads But it fits tight enough that I can actually screw it down-if that makes sense. Threads grab onto it well enough. As long as you get a tight enough seal to get the oil in you should be good.
very impressed tech Moto im viraf from india and I loved the video I have a 2002 road king with the same suspension please can you guide me as to where I can get the red cap locks from I tried here they have big sizes this size is not available here if you could guide me id appreciate it and yes what is the oil that you used I mean the viscosity of it or the grade or number wish you the best Regards
In the description is the oil I used. Any syringe will work to fill them as long as you can get the tip into the hole. To get oil out just use a blowgun. The tip I used with the hose is one of those inflator tips used to blow up stuff like a tube. Amazon should have those. All you have to do is turn the shock upside down and blow a bit of air in to get oil out. Makes more of a mess but works. Good luck.
great vid what wt. oil and what kind ???
Link in description. I use 10wt fork oil. Any brand doesn’t matter
@@TechnMoto I got it 10WT fork oil thanks and please let me know about those red lock clips they have a metal clip then a plain plastic one and the red one is double to release the first red one like a lock please correct me if im wrong
What type of oil do u use thank u
Check description, its there
Instead of using the air compressor can I just take the nipples off the shock and tilt them upside down and they'll drain that way or you have to do the compressor way that you showed
You can but it may be slow. You can use the syringe to remove the old oil too.
@@TechnMoto thanks
@@bkwil6078 you can attempt to compress the shock while upside down to move the oil out a bit faster.
Is it the same amount of oil for the standard 13" shocks and the shorter "streetglide" 12" shocks
Not sure. I would measure what is removed. Hopefully someone here can help or try a forum for those bikes. Good luck.
Can you just remove that brass fitting..then let the fluid drain?
Try it. Although I don’t think it will work for the fluid to come out air has to enter from somewhere.
if you can replace the oil with the removal of the fitting, why cant you drain the oil the same way?
Need air exchange. I guess you could try to collapse the shock til it’s empty.
What kind of oil???
lol, look in the description. I have a link there for the oil that I use.
super like
Thanks
in the Harley foam someone said you could just pull the air plug , up end them and they will drain. is it true?
Don’t think it will drain at least not fast lol. For the fluid to get out air has to go in. If that makes sense.
@@TechnMoto yeah thats what i thought
@@davidfellows6250 Unless the shock seals are bad then air will get in allowing the fluid to drain lol
Does anyone knows how to disassembly these shocks ?
wouldn't recommend messing with them if you don't know how. just my humble opinion. good luck
We overhaul everything, that's my job. 26 years in the business. No sorry 😉. Maybe there's a trick to it? Gonna give it a try anyway....
@@CoroElToro Usually I get folks asking for advice with no idea and sometimes can make things worst for themselves. Sorry for assuming. I have never rebuilt these and Harley does not sell a rebuild kit nor parts for these. But that's not to say they can't be rebuilt. Hopefully some one here can guide you to the correct info you seek. Personally if mine ever let go I'll replace them with better shocks lol. good luck

thanks
Maybe thats why my shocks suck. I put 5oz in each. Guess imma do another oil change haha
Lol practice makes perfect. 👍
02 glide. Before the oil change it was a good ride. After it bottoms out on big bumps.
Like nice nice video hello😘
Thanks
👍👍
Thanks
What weight oil?
Use what you like. I used 10wt cause I like how that makes the shock firmer but not too firm. Seriously check your service manual if your not sure what to use for your model
Thank you. What brand?
Any brand will do as long it’s fork oil
@@TechnMoto service manual :) they had mentioned straight fifty oil from Harley Davidson I tried every where then at last I got Veedol oil straight 50 since here we had 20X50 then 5X50 10X50 but straight 50 was only with Veedol in india
What fluid did you use
In the description
Why
New fluid gives ya a nicer ride than old 68k mile dirty fluid
Great video, 110 ways to skin a cat.
Hey thanks. I appreciate your support
✔️🌹 Techn' Moto 🌹 UA-cam'nin başarılı kanallarından biri bu. Bize de desteğe bekleriz. :)
thanks
50 psi is kinda high, ain't it. You don't run them with that much air in them.....
Who’s doing the work here? Lol no that’s not too high to get the oil out. These shocks can handle that with no problems. Of course you would run them at no more than 20 on the bike. If your not comfortable with that use less air pressure.
@@TechnMoto ya, I know. Just thought the seals wouldn't hold that much pressure.
@@TechnMoto what I had read in the manual 12pounds is good enough pressure in the shocks I got a hand pump to maintain the same and fill as well your video was fantastic
🤙🏼😉👈🏼😎👍
Thanks
👍🥰🔔🔊🤝
Thanks
👍😊👍,.
thanks
If you have the shock absorber off the motorcycle, you don't need any of these special tools to change the hydraulic oil on the rear absorbers. Put them upside down, make sure they can't move, use a long (six feet or more depending on your strength), 2 by 6 board, immobilize the front of the board (and the shock absorber) and pump all the oil out of the shock. When you're done, use a syringe and introduce the required volume of hydraulic oil back into the shock (very slowly), wrap some Teflon tape around the airline bolt, on top of the shock... Bob's you uncle
Special tools 😂
