i have been watching primary videos for several days and came across yours and it is perfect. very informative without making you feel like you need a mechanics license to understand what is going on. Thank you so much.
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate you doing this and I enjoyed your effective, yet simple explanation and camera work... It allows us to have shop class at home, save some $$ on the easy tasks and make us a little more knowledgeable on maintaining our bike.
I added a rubber hose to the bottom of my funnel to keep from trying to hold it in place while adding the primary oil. Makes it much easier, and you can hold the funnel upright. Thanks for the video
I always work on the Big twins electric glide softails. A friend of mine asked me to service his sportster get it ready for summer so I looked up service I came across your channel. Very thorough lots of good information.👍
Outstanding video! I had years of experience working on Triumph (hardtails), but knew absolutely nothing about Harley's, even though I'm a Yank. Got called upon to help a friend fix the "tranny" on a 1990 883, and your vid saw me through. Thanks!!
Hi Del, long overdue thank you for all your great vids. Every time I need to service my Iron 883, I find you have a great vid to step me through the process. The Pommy sense of humour translates well into Australian too! Really appreciate your efforts. Ride safe. Cheers, TC
+Ty Christopher Ayup Ty, thanks mate, that's very kind... my brother is a paramedic in QLD and he's a sarcastic git at the best of times, and he does tell me he fits in quite well lol ! Am glad the videos can help and it's great to be able to reach out to our fellow bikers down under... ride safe mate, all the best, D&P!
The engine oil on Sportsters only lubricates the engine. The Primary & Gearbox share the same oil. As per the manual "An opening between the primary drive and transmission compartments allows the same lubricant supply to lubricate moving parts in both areas."
+Allen Huling Thanks Allen, that's really kind of you... it's so good that people like to watch and enjoy the videos! Fingers crossed for the move, it's gonna be fun !
Cheers from Hernando Mississippi, USA!! Your videos are awesome. Comprehensive, entertaining, and informative. You not only share the proceedure for doing the service. You explain in great detail why and how the inner working are important.. Thank you sir!
Thank you my friend, you're very kind, am glad our content can help you, and good luck with your projects, it's great to fix your own bike aye?? All the best, D&P
Most educational “how to” Harley video I’ve seen. Love how you explain everything and how it works instead of just “follow these steps”. Keep up the good work.
The thing I like about your films is that they inspire me to look after my next bike much better than my existing bike, which is very neglected. But next time, I promise to be a better owner.
Definitely inspiring I feel better and have a different mind set when wrenching in the garage. You somehow changed my perspective completely. Impressive, no doubt...
Hi buddy, it is an easy job, certainly not complex, one drain bolt, and fill through the derby hole... it's the kinda thing that we don't realise is so easy! Good luck with yours, hope it goes well...!
Best video out there on this topic! Thank you for the enjoyable walk through and your details. Wasn't sure of the exact process on this model and it was great to see it end to end. Keep them coming, Cheers!
Thank you so much for making such a clear & simple video, already did a primary oil change on my sporty so this will be the next one, regards to the camera team also 🎥 👍🏻
Just recently purchased my first motorcycle and my first iron883. everytime i need or have a question i always find your videos helpful! thank you much!
I've caught a few of your videos already and have to say they connect a lot of dots for me as I work on my '06 XL1200L. These are the most detailed (well explained) vids I've found yet. Thank you.
+David Mahdal Thank you David, im glad you find the videos helpful, its always good to know we are reaching out to other riders and spreading a bit of simple knowhow.. Take care and enjoy the summer... Del.
You explain thoroughly. Most mechanics are not apt to teach, though they might be apt mechanically. You are both. Keep it up, pls. I always learn something new when I watch you!
Thx brother, Liking your knowledge and using layman's terms makes it a hit. Appreciate your effort and definitely appreciate your time, most people don't realize the amount of time taken away from your family to make a video and ditto to the songbird aiming the camera at you.
I’ve had my Sportster about a year now and just had to start changing oil & plugs etc.. you’ve helped me understand my bike and what’s going on underneath all that Crome! Thank you! 2 on the ground!
Used this guide yesterday for my primary oil change, clutch adjustment, and installed a new black "Derby" cover to replace the original silver one. Always excellent videos, thanks Del!
+Robert J Ossig Cheers buddy, thanks for watching! The PA plate was one of the first ones we were sent as a gift, people started spotting them, so sent a few more... and now, if you check out the latest videos on the Channel, we have scores of them and it's known as our 'Wall of Friends'!!
Great video man, very clear. I was changing the derby cover and some of the oil came out (I'm noobie on this). Now I feel secure to replace it. Thanks a lot.
Fantastic video and thanks so much for posting this. I am not even a bike owner yet and your explanations are fantastic and HARDLY boring at all. I have a rental storage facility to store for winter but they require all fluids to be drained so this video is super helpful. Thank you
In the first three minutes of this video you explained the basics of how an engine transmits power through the gears to back wheel. My College tutor would struggle explaining that in three months! Just want to thank you for these awesome info packed videos which gave me confidence to strip my XT500 back to barebones and rebuild it :D It's given that much knowledge and confidence that I'm going to apply to some motorbike garages for a job :D
+Ethan Senior Hi Ethan, thats funny, i think i had a few teachers like that, they'd take three hours deciding whether to take a piss.. but hey ho, i guess they have to justify the course fee aye..?. So glad we casn help you with a bit of confidence and motivate you to get stuck in yourself.. good luck with the bike garage search, you never know your luck, honest and enthusiatic staff are hard to find in that industry... take care buddy... Del.
Did my own lub changes on my 2006 HD883. Thanks. Saved a lot of money and did the job right. Taking of the derby cover the seal was twisted and damaged.
Great video. I've seen many oil change videos but what I love about your content is how educational and informative it is. Thanks Del! By the way, in the states we call the way you tightened the foot peg German torque (Goodentight) haha
+Justin Ammerman Thanks brother, much appreciated... I've always believed that knowing why something must be done can help you devise the method. Knowledge is power and nobody learned anything by working parrot fashion... thanks for watching buddy!
Another great video "how to" - thank guys! I have learnt more about the proper care and maintenance of my 883 Iron from you then anyway else and I really can't thank you enough for giving me the confidence to do some of these jobs myself! Saved me a few quid too! :) Keep up the great work and thanks again.
Delboy, Great video!! The answer to your question. old Tin primary Knucks, Pans and Big Flatheads. When removed the domed shape with flat flange resembles a Derby Hat.
Thanks!!! I just bought a 2016 iron 883 and your videos will help me do my own 1k service which is coming up. I have always worked on my own cars so not an idiot with a wrench but for some reason HD wants to scare you into thinking they do something special for 300 bucks! Keep the videos coming!!!
Great video!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience I found this to be educational and informative giving me the confidence to work on my own bike, with your instruction of course. Looking forward to checking out your other videos.
I just bought my first motorcycle. It's a 2006 Harley Davidson Sportster XL883 Low. I wanted to say thank you. Your how to videos have been very helpful. I've learned a lot about how to maintain my bike. I hope you do more videos specifically for Sportsters.
Hi Phil, thanks so much for your kind feedback... I don't currently own a Sportster, but the lose plan is, that after I finish the fighter build, the next bike will me a Sportster donor and I'll only be able to afford an older one, probably carb'd not injection, so they'll hopefully be lots of maintenance, repair and upgrade videos available on that, but need to focus on the current build to get it done ... glad the videos help you out mate, thank you
Excellent video. Am.new to Harley and have always done the basic maintenance on my bikes. This was an easy to follow and well presented 'How to'. Much appreciated.
Im a newer rider. i have one successful season under my belt. i have a 96 sportster. So this year i want to learn how to work on it myself. i work on my vehicles im not an idiot. but this is all new territory for me. im working on cleaning my carb and changing my primary fluid. everytime i search a vid i look for yours. Thanks for doing them and being so thorough. im on my own doing this my father doesnt live around me hes about 1400 miles away. So again thanks so much you have been teaching me so much and saving me a ton of money by not taking it to a mechanic. You rock and keep making em i enjoy them! Thanks!
+Ryan Cornelius Hi there Ryan, great to hear from you mate, and good on you for diggin into your own repairs, its the only way to roll.... if i may suggest, spend a few quid with the dealer and buy yourself the proper thick Harley Davidson manual for your bike... its not cheap, i paid about £65 for mine....but it is an invaluable resource when you do any job on your Harley... it has all the torque settings and specs you will ever need, along with easy to understand instructions on any job... once you have one, you will do a lot more on your bike with a lot more confidence... Hope that helps... always feel free to drop us a line if you get stuck, im always happy to help if i can.... take care and enjoy your bike... cheers, Del.
Cheers buddy, a fork is a hydraulic ram, after all, which is why hydraulic oil works well in it, in fact, fork oil when supplied in a 'fork oil' bottle is just hydraulic oil in specified packaging, it's just about getting the grade right, and a 5/10W is about right for forks on most bikes, and that's just what ATF is about 7.5W plus it's way cheaper lol !
Bloody Brilliant, I'm picking up a 1200 Roadie and this will indeed come in quite handy 4 me!! I don't have a mechanic background but I understand it, this is a blessing, THANX!!!
so my sporters 48 2020 is my first harley. i needed to know all of this. this is the only video on youtube that explains the different areas that need oil. primary/secondary
Perfect thank you for the information you look at the reviews on torque wrench is and even the good ones have bad reviews and they're ridiculously priced but thanks again I'll go check this one out keep the videos coming
thanks for another great informative video i have tried to educate some of the harley davidson uk members about the primary oil being separate but most disagree i also use atf in there
I finally did this today after several trips to the hardware store. But it really is not that difficult. One trick to get more leverage on the hex key for the foot peg removal was to use a pipe nipple (galvanized in my case) to slip over the hex key an use it as an extension. It worked really well, and there is no danger that your "spanner" wrench will slip. You may wish to try that sometime. I did use some Hylomar as well, which I had not heard of until I saw it in your video. Keep up the good work. I really learned a lot!
+BlueOnion Hey Ron, great to hear from you again buddy... how's the band going sir, i miss your emails now you're busy with life and things... Drop me a line when service time comes, happy to help is i can brother... ! take care.. D&P.
In depth, intelligent, totality as well as precautionary, easily understood, and to the point, period
Well done Sir, thanks much! 🤙
Thank you kindly, i appreciate the generous feedback.

Best online HD teacher ever! Thanks for sharing your knowledge in such a simple to understand way ;)
Special gifted way of easily explaining every detail 👌 . Respect for this kind of bro . Great video .
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate you doing this and I enjoyed your effective, yet simple explanation and camera work... It allows us to have shop class at home, save some $$ on the easy tasks and make us a little more knowledgeable on maintaining our bike.
I added a rubber hose to the bottom of my funnel to keep from trying to hold it in place while adding the primary oil. Makes it much easier, and you can hold the funnel upright. Thanks for the video
I always work on the Big twins electric glide softails. A friend of mine asked me to service his sportster get it ready for summer so I looked up service I came across your channel. Very thorough lots of good information.👍
Outstanding video! I had years of experience working on Triumph (hardtails), but knew absolutely nothing about Harley's, even though I'm a Yank. Got called upon to help a friend fix the "tranny" on a 1990 883, and your vid saw me through. Thanks!!
Thank you SO much for explaining all this is such laymen's terms. I was glued, these are great videos.
B there kkķ
Very nicely done video. Clear, easy to follow and I love your sense of humour. Great articulation too :) Thank You
Hi Del, long overdue thank you for all your great vids. Every time I need to service my Iron 883, I find you have a great vid to step me through the process. The Pommy sense of humour translates well into Australian too! Really appreciate your efforts. Ride safe. Cheers, TC

Great video and explanation of how transmission works ,best I've seen and invaluable to armature mechanic,thanks man.👍
You can't beat good honest sensible advice, great videos, ride safe!
The most well done video of a primary oil change on a Sporty I’ve ever seen. Thank you.
Thank you mate, that's very kind, am glad it was helpful!
The engine oil on Sportsters only lubricates the engine. The Primary & Gearbox share the same oil.
As per the manual "An opening between the primary drive and transmission compartments
allows the same lubricant supply to lubricate moving parts in both areas."
Every time I look up how to do work on my 883, your videos come up... Very Helpful.. Thank you
You're the first person to explain it simply enough that even I could understand it. Thank you very much!
+JonBonDonegan Thanks Jon, im glad you enjoyd it, and happy to help.. all the best mate... Del.

+Michael Caton Hey, as long as it's safe Michael, who cares?! That's what Rat Bikes are good for (and why I love them!)...
Definitely inspiring
I feel better and have a different mind set when wrenching in the garage.
You somehow changed my perspective completely.
Impressive, no doubt...
You make this look so easy, it's almost giving me the confidence to try to do it myself.
Hi buddy, it is an easy job, certainly not complex, one drain bolt, and fill through the derby hole... it's the kinda thing that we don't realise is so easy! Good luck with yours, hope it goes well...!
I’ve watched your vids for a couple of years. Cheers to you good sir. I’m doing my fluid change this weekend. Thank you!!

Glad the video helped you out Paul, and good trick with the heavy duty hex key... what ever gets the job done aye... !
I'll be hitting 10,000 very soon. This will be my reference vid for sure. Another great one!
