00:00:00.290 so anyway one of my favorite customers 00:00:04.19000:00:04.200 called me up and he says to me sir but 00:00:06.28900:00:06.299 but buzz does like I come here and I'm 00:00:10.66900:00:10.679 stuck in the gas station 00:00:12.02000:00:12.030 and it looks like my rear brakes stuck 00:00:13.82000:00:13.830 on and there's no way that the bike will 00:00:17.21000:00:17.220 move it won't move forwards and 00:00:18.56000:00:18.570 backwards and the brakes red-hot and 00:00:21.34900:00:21.359 it's stuck 00:00:22.31000:00:22.320 the brakes stuck on and I powered it 00:00:24.10900:00:24.119 here in third gear at full throttle all 00:00:26.24000:00:26.250 the way off the freeway and so I told 00:00:29.90000:00:29.910 him well loosen the brake line right 00:00:33.02000:00:33.030 here take that 00:00:34.79000:00:34.800 get you a pair of pliers or something 00:00:36.47000:00:36.480 and loosen that brake line and he did 00:00:38.15000:00:38.160 and all the brake fluid started shooting 00:00:40.13000:00:40.140 out of this then after the rear brake 00:00:43.10000:00:43.110 cooled off finally he was able to roll 00:00:45.56000:00:45.570 the brake and drive at home on with just 00:00:47.90000:00:47.910 a front brake right on this Electra 00:00:50.60000:00:50.610 Glide so then he brought into my shop 00:00:54.83000:00:54.840 unless they're doing I said well I can 00:00:57.47000:00:57.480 see what your problem is right here is 00:01:00.34900:01:00.359 you see this yeah the master cylinder is 00:01:03.50000:01:03.510 like brake pedal is touching these lost 00:01:07.82000:01:07.830 pipe right there we're not touching it 00:01:10.16000:01:10.170 but it's like a half an inch away from 00:01:13.01000:01:13.020 it and the exhaust pipe gets so hot that 00:01:16.33000:01:16.340 is heating up they're heating up the 00:01:18.83000:01:18.840 master cylinder causing the brake fluid 00:01:20.51000:01:20.520 to boil causes the line and the brake 00:01:23.14900:01:23.159 fluid to expand and it puts the brake on 00:01:25.85000:01:25.860 and stick in your brake sticks on puts 00:01:28.49000:01:28.500 the brake on so I went out and got in 00:01:31.64000:01:31.650 the heat field and hose clamp the heat 00:01:33.95000:01:33.960 shield on here between there between 00:01:36.10900:01:36.119 there and there to keep the heat away 00:01:37.24900:01:37.259 from messenger so like a couple weeks 00:01:41.21000:01:41.220 later call me back says it's doing it 00:01:42.88900:01:42.899 again it's doing it again 00:01:44.53000:01:44.540 so I says well he says on the freeway it 00:01:49.13000:01:49.140 works okay but it stop and go traffic in 00:01:51.02000:01:51.030 town the brake stuck on again so I had 00:01:53.99000:01:54.000 to carry a little race with me to loosen 00:01:55.60900:01:55.619 this nut here on the front of the master 00:01:57.17000:01:57.180 cylinder so I said okay so he brings it 00:02:00.74000:02:00.750 in the shop and I'm like looking the 00:02:03.95000:02:03.960 bike over and I said hey what's going on 00:02:06.35000:02:06.360 with this bike here anyway 00:02:08.31000:02:08.320 so I said well I'm gonna have to remove 00:02:13.27000:02:13.280 that brake line and get a whole new 00:02:17.38000:02:17.390 brake line for it and goes to the brake 00:02:20.38000:02:20.390 line to the rear brake back down here 00:02:22.47000:02:22.480 which is like right right here the brake 00:02:27.16000:02:27.170 line down something wrong yeah the brake 00:02:29.92000:02:29.930 line must be touching the top of the 00:02:31.24000:02:31.250 motor must be touching the motor down 00:02:32.89000:02:32.900 there and I'm thinking son asshole built 00:02:37.51000:02:37.520 that thing wrong you know it's not 00:02:38.98000:02:38.990 Harley Davidson it's not their fault so 00:02:41.14000:02:41.150 I lay the bike over on its side and I'm 00:02:44.77000:02:44.780 looking underneath there and the brake 00:02:47.71000:02:47.720 lines okay it's clipped in its keepers 00:02:51.01000:02:51.020 it's straight it's all factory stock 00:02:53.58000:02:53.590 what the hell could be the matter with 00:02:55.66000:02:55.670 it why is it getting hot like that so I 00:02:59.85000:02:59.860 said huh there's some kind of Mickey 00:03:03.40000:03:03.410 Mouse telltale aftermarket oil cooler up 00:03:07.48000:03:07.490 here there's some pink red put on the 00:03:11.50000:03:11.510 front of the motorcycle now you might be 00:03:14.11000:03:14.120 noticing the oil line is not here that's 00:03:17.62000:03:17.630 because I moved it 00:03:18.79000:03:18.800 it was zippy tied to the hydraulic brake 00:03:27.22000:03:27.230 line right here he had routed it 00:03:30.61000:03:30.620 underneath the brake and Snoopy tied the 00:03:32.89000:03:32.900 oil line for the oil cooler to the brake 00:03:36.19000:03:36.200 line and that apparently is what was 00:03:38.97900:03:38.989 making the brake fluid expand and 00:03:42.28000:03:42.290 putting the brake on no so I went and 00:03:46.36000:03:46.370 got the schematics for an electric 00:03:50.19900:03:50.209 lights oil lines on the internet and as 00:03:56.22900:03:56.239 you can see our friend the increment 00:03:59.77000:03:59.780 Anik put the the crankcase ventilation 00:04:04.42000:04:04.430 line touching the exhaust of the back 00:04:09.19000:04:09.200 cylinder right there the hose clamp is 00:04:11.83000:04:11.840 actually holding it away from the 00:04:15.28000:04:15.290 exhaust there's the oil return line 00:04:18.32000:04:18.330 touching the exhaust of the backs node 00:04:20.61000:04:20.620 itself the moral to that story is that 00:04:24.50000:04:24.510 the oil cooler actually became an oil 00:04:30.18000:04:30.190 heater heating the oil up not cooling it 00:04:35.13000:04:35.140 off and that are that you crankcase not 00:04:44.10000:04:44.110 smoking
