Boy this is the guy I want to do my service! Like someone else said I hope all dealers are as thorough. My fear is I'm paying $600 for an oil change!

I hope all dealerships service like this…. Great work

Harley-Davidson of Ft. Wayne... New subscriber here. Cool video but I would like to hear things like fastener torque specs, go over what the critical fasteners are, fluid capacities etc instead of the music.. I am a Master Tech as well for Harley's and automotive. I already know all of that but most viewers do not and that is why they are watching, so they can learn how to service their own bike.. When I do a "three hole" service no matter what the mileage is in addition to changing the fluids I always clean the air filter or replace it, inspect the sparkplugs and replace them every 10k miles, adjust the clutch to factory spec, check tire pressure, check and insure the brake pads and rotors are within spec, check the drive belt and adjust if needed, lubricate the cables (if applicable), lubricate all of the lubrication points, check the state of the battery and the charging system, check that all lights work correctly and check all of the critical fasteners with a torque wrench when a torque value is stated.. Yes it takes a little bit longer but a full service is expensive so I want to make sure my customers get what they pay for..

Surprised you didn't check the water content of the brake fluid

Thanks for the video! Cool to see behind the scenes.

Those handle barrrrrrrrs!

Well done! Appreciate all the tips and info! Thank you!!

Nice video Ironhead. Beautiful bike too.

very thorough brother, thank you.

This video had the potential to be absolutely perfect. But the fast forwarding through critical fasteners was a mistake.

Great video, thanks for doing it…from a fellow Fort Wayne-er🤪

Great video

Thanks for this video, I needed to understand better what I was paying for.

Loved the vid

Damn I want Josh to do my 5k!! Awesome detail!

Watching this because you caught your dealership not doing the basic checks and want to know what else they didn't do.....

Great Video! A very thorough service! I will be bringing in my 2021 RGS for the 5K soon.

you know this dude is the real deal with the cracked pocket protector. :)

I was actually honestly surprised how much was done on this check up and fluid change. I think it’s worth the money to have a trained tech look over the bike. Wasn’t expecting that.

Some good information. I would always fill my oil to the top. Never had much issues with blow by or oil transfer. What do you think of the vented dipstick? Or the catch can breather system? Are they needed, thank you.

Ok. Hold up. I had my service done and I got charge an hour for labor. This guy just did it in 18 minutes. 😁

I'm in Muncie watched the whole video before I realized it was based in the fort an hour away

Interesting your checking ‘critical’ fasteners with just a wrench or ratchet & socket. I was trained that if the OE provided a torque spec, use a torque wrench to confirm tightness. Yes, I have a clicking elbow (automotive tech) but on two wheels, safety is priority.. Do you ‘wet’ (partially fill) the oil filter media prior to installing? Spark plugs - my local dealer recommends replacing every 5k. Even though they are supposed to be 100k on Rushmore bikes. Ball missing in floor board. That’s warranty, right....

I will bet most Harley techs will not do half the stuffs did guy just did. I just did my 5000 miles and my bike rear bearing blew after I drove away. Brand new bike.

My Road Glide is coming up on 10k so need to take it in for service. Those of you familiar with HD service departments, are they all as thorough as Josh?

How much. You do good work, Gina more trust from folks by starting your videos with how much $. Trust me you’ll gain a ton of respect and your dealer will make more money. Especially if off camera you do the same work. Good job. USMC/USAF Ret.

You didn’t pull the seat & check the battery connections?

Do you need to recharge the filter or just wash it?

How much mil was on the dif plugs?

I liked the video but not the music. Hearing all the facts is important. Perhaps if you could list the steps, the torque settings, pressure settings and items required, it would be more succinct and easier to remember (by taking notes). Thank you.

My dealership doesn’t give us any reports of what was done they just put their hands out for money

Audio quality was not great on this video. I could not hear properly so could you comment on what compound was used instead of Loctite?.

Personally bad idea using power to to run steel screws into aluminum case with or with out starting them first there is a tool called a speed handle more professional choice

Where's the list for "critical fasteners" in the shop manual?

When do spark plugs get changed?

Why would u fast forward overcritical fasteners and go live on cleaning air filter

Why didn't you add oil to the filter

the dealers should warm the oil better than that for an oil change.....,

Can you do a 50k

Well he missed the filter

The mechanic at my dealership is an ass hole I wish he was as thorough as you

Am I the only one that noticed they never changed oil filter?....

Yeah but Is it worth almost 600 dollars when it looks like it takes 1 or 2 hours.

Hit the sub button👍

Could you please do a different video WITHOUT the music and WITHOUT fast forwsrding???????? I personally would have liked to just watch him do a full service regular speed and just talk about what and why he is doing what he is doing while he is doing it!!!!!

Every Harley horn sounds like a castrated sheep.

This handle bars are gaaaayyy!
