00:00:00.000 I wanna point out one thing every harley 00:00:03.11000:00:03.120 should have and it's actually a stupid 00:00:06.86000:00:06.870 thing it's simple but that right there 00:00:09.68000:00:09.690 temperature gauge on the oil like if 00:00:12.65000:00:12.660 it's getting too hot because this is 00:00:13.97000:00:13.980 basically an air-cooled motor and if 00:00:16.88000:00:16.890 your oil starts breaking down its cause 00:00:19.18900:00:19.199 it high heat that's what happens 00:00:20.96000:00:20.970 so you want to temperature gauge on your 00:00:22.93900:00:22.949 oil and here's I'll tell you another 00:00:26.12000:00:26.130 problem and a lot of people do is they 00:00:28.99000:00:29.000 fill this up too much and what you 00:00:31.97000:00:31.980 should go probably can't see it on here 00:00:34.85000:00:34.860 - well there's two lines there's an add 00:00:38.11900:00:38.129 line and there's a fill line you 00:00:41.03000:00:41.040 shouldn't put the oil up to the top of 00:00:43.34000:00:43.350 the full line because as this engine 00:00:45.17000:00:45.180 heats up it actually goes up the oil 00:00:47.45000:00:47.460 expands a little bit more and what 00:00:50.45000:00:50.460 happens is on this bike on all the 00:00:53.09000:00:53.100 Harley's you'll see here - because I got 00:00:55.79000:00:55.800 something right down there blow by it 00:00:58.67000:00:58.680 comes in it what happens is you get 00:01:01.76000:01:01.770 builds up crankcase pressure and because 00:01:05.84000:01:05.850 of the oil level and then you get blow 00:01:08.53900:01:08.549 by and it drips out oil over here it can 00:01:11.30000:01:11.310 actually clog up your air cleaner that 00:01:13.10000:01:13.110 way now the solution is just like I said 00:01:16.31000:01:16.320 a lot of people fill this up to the very 00:01:19.37000:01:19.380 top you know of the fill mark on a fill 00:01:22.88000:01:22.890 one not the top of this or anything I'm 00:01:24.89000:01:24.900 just saying of the fill line now by the 00:01:26.99000:01:27.000 book that's correct 00:01:28.64000:01:28.650 but you should have it a little bit 00:01:30.56000:01:30.570 below the high point of the full line 00:01:33.02000:01:33.030 you should have it between the ad level 00:01:34.70000:01:34.710 and the fill hole level right between 00:01:37.16000:01:37.170 those two marks and as you use it you'll 00:01:39.95000:01:39.960 notice it does go up to the full line 00:01:42.06900:01:42.079 the other thing is a lot of people use 00:01:45.98000:01:45.990 2050 oil and bikes Harley I think you 00:01:50.09000:01:50.100 should use 50 weight or 60 weight 00:01:52.16000:01:52.170 straight and let 2050s good if it's like 00:01:55.03900:01:55.049 really really cold out but you know most 00:01:58.01000:01:58.020 people aren't riding bike in the cold 00:01:59.87000:01:59.880 weather riding it in hot weather so 2050 00:02:02.56900:02:02.579 is not what you want to use you want to 00:02:04.88000:02:04.890 be straight 50 weight or straight 60 00:02:07.16000:02:07.170 weight and you'll eliminate a lot of 00:02:09.58900:02:09.599 that blow by - and another thing 00:02:13.37000:02:13.380 I got like a little little ass cheap oil 00:02:15.80000:02:15.810 cooler on here and I actually got that 00:02:19.19000:02:19.200 from Kennedy's custom motorcycles down 00:02:21.62000:02:21.630 in California back and god I used to do 00:02:24.50000:02:24.510 all the custom bikes he was there at the 00:02:26.21000:02:26.220 time but he never seen him he's always 00:02:27.65000:02:27.660 in the back man he moved out to Arizona 00:02:29.33000:02:29.340 but the you know these guys knew this to 00:02:32.87000:02:32.880 with the bikes they said all she 00:02:34.67000:02:34.680 need is this little cooler you don't 00:02:36.23000:02:36.240 need nothing fancy as long as you got 00:02:38.90000:02:38.910 something on there this is like I'm 00:02:40.91000:02:40.920 about 15 dollar cooler and instead of 00:02:44.44900:02:44.459 using I use a hydraulic pressure line 00:02:50.18000:02:50.190 for the hoses I don't even used just 00:02:52.22000:02:52.230 rubber oil lines they used hydraulic 00:02:55.60000:02:55.610 tractor pressure hose it's like really 00:02:59.33000:02:59.340 good in other words I never break 00:03:01.58000:03:01.590 it in a million years it should hold up 00:03:03.22900:03:03.239 really good I don't worry about getting 00:03:04.85000:03:04.860 that steel braided stuff you know 00:03:07.18000:03:07.190 anodized colored stuff and could be 00:03:10.46000:03:10.470 black hose but I don't use standard 00:03:12.38000:03:12.390 rubber hose he used a hydraulic tractor 00:03:16.16000:03:16.170 hose it's like four you know high 00:03:18.56000:03:18.570 pressure it'll hold up a long time but 00:03:21.62000:03:21.630 also you need is this little oil cooler 00:03:23.90000:03:23.910 you don't need nothing heavy-duty it's 00:03:26.15000:03:26.160 got a bracket on there with a couple 00:03:27.65000:03:27.660 bolts on it really solid as a matter of 00:03:30.56000:03:30.570 fact it's bolted and glued in here like 00:03:33.53000:03:33.540 it has Gorilla Glue holding it together 00:03:36.80000:03:36.810 so this thing is in your solid don't it 00:03:39.65000:03:39.660 won't come down one way or together so 00:03:42.35000:03:42.360 but that's an important little thing on 00:03:44.75000:03:44.760 every Harley because what you got going 00:03:47.42000:03:47.430 here is air cooled right it's air cooled 00:03:50.69000:03:50.700 motor and what's the enemy of air cooled 00:03:52.64000:03:52.650 motors heat so you know you want to keep 00:03:55.85000:03:55.860 that oil just a little cooler you don't 00:03:57.62000:03:57.630 want to have it too cool and it got it 00:04:00.35000:04:00.360 something simple like this no 00:04:01.97000:04:01.980 thermostatic control that's just fine 00:04:03.80000:04:03.810 the other thing is you want to watch 00:04:05.93000:04:05.940 your oil temperature then when you're 00:04:08.15000:04:08.160 using straight oil straight 50 weight I 00:04:11.66000:04:11.670 mean you can use twenty fifty when it's 00:04:13.67000:04:13.680 cooler out but most the time people 00:04:14.90000:04:14.910 using the bikes in summer ninety degrees 00:04:17.09000:04:17.100 out and all that kind of see it 95 00:04:18.92000:04:18.930 degrees you want to use straight 50 00:04:21.38000:04:21.390 weight and you know 00:04:25.03000:04:25.040 keep the bag not totally totally full 00:04:27.75000:04:27.760 and you know 00:04:59.47000:04:59.480 the other thing is to you draining this 00:05:03.89000:05:03.900 oil out I don't I use a suction pump and 00:05:08.24000:05:08.250 take it out of this side I don't use 00:05:10.01000:05:10.020 that hose on the other side I always use 00:05:12.68000:05:12.690 a suction pump and you get more of your 00:05:15.26000:05:15.270 oil out there where you get all the 00:05:16.58000:05:16.590 metal shavings or whatever's in the car 00:05:18.29000:05:18.300 but on the bottom you get it out of 00:05:19.64000:05:19.650 there a lot better so but you know 00:05:22.46000:05:22.470 maintenance will keep these bikes going 00:05:24.20000:05:24.210 a lot long longer 00:05:25.43000:05:25.440 I like these older now they're old back 00:05:28.25000:05:28.260 when I got this is a new design you 00:05:30.17000:05:30.180 already used to have the iron had 00:05:32.32000:05:32.330 Sportsters and shovel heads and the Evo 00:05:35.42000:05:35.430 was a new design actually I'm going to 00:05:36.98000:05:36.990 tell you the truth I think the Evo is 00:05:38.42000:05:38.430 definitely the best stuff going it 00:05:40.94000:05:40.950 definitely and you notice twin-cam big 00:05:45.11000:05:45.120 you know the new ones at the twin cams i 00:05:47.21000:05:47.220 think there's too many problems with 00:05:48.44000:05:48.450 them actually it's turning out that the 00:05:50.30000:05:50.310 Sportsters that were considered not the 00:05:52.67000:05:52.680 best things around or turning out to be 00:05:54.53000:05:54.540 the better ones now there's a lot less 00:05:57.47000:05:57.480 you can go wrong with a maxi to 00:05:59.24000:05:59.250 tell you the truth there's only a couple 00:06:00.26000:06:00.270 things that this bike had a couple flaws 00:06:03.05000:06:03.060 with but the aftermarket fix them up and 00:06:05.95000:06:05.960 top-end on these bikes are usually good 00:06:08.45000:06:08.460 for a hundred thousand miles no problem 00:06:10.22000:06:10.230 if you take care of so it's really 00:06:12.44000:06:12.450 practical
