Tip when pouring your oil in the funnel if you turn the bottle so the neck is on the high side the oil doesn't go glud glud glud and splash. it will pour in a steady stream .

In the primary I empty a full quart bottle, then pour 6 oz of oil in the empty bottle and pour it in. No guess, no over or under fill. Same end, just simpler for me. Also be sure you use the T27 torx! Others "almost" fit, but will mess up your day!

Just did my primary and put on a new derby cover, pretty easy and satisfying thx.

J P Cycle has the best how to videos available, hand down they ROCK!!!!

First time changing my oils, this helped a lot. Thanks!

As well as putting in the proper amount of oil in the primary, I always double check the amount of oil that is touching the clutch assembly. Then I'm satisfied.

Thanks a bunch Patrick. Videos like these make me want to purchase from J&P only. Keep up the good work!

This is a great video and thanks for giving us really good information. The only thing I wish you added was when you said you will set the torque but you didn't say to set it to what? I have been reading that 86 inch-pounds but I have to look up the one for the drain plug? Thanks again.

Your video's have helped a lot! Thank you for making them!

Very informative. Thanks. Headed to your Anamosa store forthwith.

thanks Patrick for the video ! and wish all the best

Thank you for the video, this has got to be one of the most informative I've seen. I bought my manual but the simple questions I have were answered by you.

I can always count on J&P Cycles! Thanks for the helpful vid!

Your video’s are awesome, thanks for your assistance My Electra Glide service, done and dusted 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

hi guys great vid thanks whats the torque setting on the drain plug please sorry i havnt got a manual

Thanks. Very simple but important points. I did not hear you say what the bolts on the derby cover need to be torqued at. Can you confirm them??

Thanks for the education and great video. Props!

Charlie Perry its personal preference. The o-rings can be a bit more difficult to install. If you change derby covers sometimes it is necessary to use a derby cover with no center section instead of the solid flat piece from the factory, so in that case a o-ring would be better.

awesome video, thanks for the visual.

Great video. Thanks Patrick

Thank you very much for the video !! It was done very well !!

I just wedged my kickstand up against the curb and turn the bars to the right so that it brought the bike stright upright

I like to use German spec on my derby cover. Gutentight but I also have my calibrated torque arm to back it up.

Ladies and gents invest in a service manual- I see a lot of folks asking about torque specs- These amazing videos are great and I appreciate the hell out of them but you really should have a manual that will have all sorts of specs for your particular bike- There was a time when Harley owners did most of their own work except maybe heavy machine shop work and granted that is one of the reasons older bikes often had issues. But the new bikes if you do the work properly you will have the ability to really take care of your bike and have the satisfaction of knowing your bike and all of the benefits that come with it. I cannot tell you how many times I have stopped to help a guy or gal on a bike and they had a ton of bling and stuff installed but no tools, didn't really know much about the bike and if they had a little knowledge and a tool roll, I wouldn't be on the side of the road helping them out. It is also a safety issue if you ride your bike and aren't able to easily and quickly detect a problem then you are not being safe.

I just use a new baby bottle with the tip of the nipple cut off for the last 6 oz, the bottle has oz marking so no need to worry about over filling.

if your dip stick has a swivel you check it on the jiffy stand, it its a solid dip stick check oil in upright position.

Great video thx u saved alot of money and gave me confidence to diy...

Hi I would like to know what is the tool to pass the cables of the seca armpit of the Harley Devidson I'd like to know why I work in a motorcycle workshop here in Brazil

Thanks this is the best video I have seen so far!!

Do u guys add removeable loctite to derby cover screws? What's the torque spec?

Excellent job, Patrick. Thanks.

Can you make a video on 5k and 10k service for a 103?

Be sure to use Red Loctite and stand on the cheater bar for the derby cover T27 bolts. Just like the guy I bought my bike from did. 😤

I´m wondering , may i use normal motor oil for the harleys motor ? instead the wet tipe clutch oil, because the cluth dont use the same oil in this motorcycle brand .

can you please post a video on how to replace a starter 06 and newer preferably the 07 Ultra Classic thank you very much love your videos

nice video. i need to know how many pounds to tork the Drain Plug?

What is the proper torque spec for the oil plug??

What torque wrench do you guys use? I need to get one.

Great Video!!! Patrick, you have me confident enough to start doing this work myself.... My question: Where can I get information on the proper torque settings for the common bolts being used in this, as well as the rest of your videos???

Thank you for shearing

Really good video. Simple and to the point. Thanks for the info about having the bike up right. Would have like to know what the "Torque Spec" is.

What torque wrench do you use? I need to buy one, and there is such a wide range of them.

I've got a 2013 flhtcu and theres no space to use a funnel to add the fluid back into thru the derby hole..Ya think they woulda made the primary cover just a little wider..

Are the drain plugs in the same place on a 2006 street glide

If my transmission fluid is at the add mark, how much should i add? Cant find that anywhere and dont want to blow a seal somewhere overfilling.

Awesome video. Very descriptive yet right to the point. A+

An easy way to add the correct amount of extra oil is to pour from the new can you the empty can, then pour that correct amount in the primary.

Is it necessary to change the engine oil once every year, irrespective of # of miles we have put. I changed my engine oil on street rod after 13 months, but only 2000 kms. Could i have waited more time ?

Good video!

do u change primary oil when it's hot or cold

Terrific Explanation!! What torque wrench attachment size do I need to buy for tightening the derby cover screws and chain inspection cover screws?

What is the weight on the primary fluid? I used royal purple, and now my clutch is slipping... but I saw on another video they specifically said NOT TO USE SYNTHETIC, because it can make the clutch stop slipping... I can testify to that... but I'm sure I can use another brand fluid, when I know wut weight is is... brands definitely welcome, for suggestion...

You mentioned the torque for the derby cover but not for the drain plug

I'm definitely dumping old oil in my neighbors driveway lol

Excellent

Thanks for telling me that some primerys are completely covered with a fake plate. like a bumper is covered with a body panel that people call bumpers. This perfectly fitted chrome plate can be found on a 2002 883 Hugger Sportster. Now that i'm done scratching my head!

Thanks.

If not changing derby cover gasket, wouldn't it be cleaner/easier to just pop inspection window and dump the gear oil in there?

So if it’s below that disc in there it’s low?

quick question. is a O-ring gasket not the better choice to replace on the cover ? Or are they a pain to install in this situation? btw good informative video.

yes

hey I am looking a 2014 street glid and i had water up knee high up the side. the owner said there is not way water got in engine or transmission. I am new to Harleys and don't want to look like a total dumass when i go talk to him. What can i expect to or check . would this effect anything electrical?

Hey Patrick what brand/model torque wrench are you using? I'm looking to buy one thank you in advance

I need help. I used that drain plug and only got a quart out. Went to fill it and it over flowed after 1 quart.

Kinda Missing the Torque Specs

So I have an issue this first plug for the primary is not on my 05 roadking classic where the hell is it lol

Drain Plug 14-21 ft lbs. Derby Cover 84-108 INCH Pounds on a twin cam

Great company guys

I need that funnel

bro! what brand is that torque?

so why didn't you tell us what to torque the bolts to

Would be cool if you added the torque values on the bolts.

Appreciate the hand up! FlHTI

I have a stock road king with the 96.how much oil goes in the primary? Harley told me one quart(32)

I need asking you should the bike on kickstand or not should🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I need job my workout seat cover sir

Harley bikes use three different oil fluids on their bikes, in three with different locations, crankcase, primary and transmissions and each have a different interval as to when to change the various fluids....

I have a 2011 road glide custom fltrx. Can I reuse the o ring for the derby cover

Do you need lock tight on the bolts?

May i ask can i use HD,s "Genuine SAE 20W-50" MOTOCYCLE OIL? IE the engine oil i use for this job or is is special primary oil only?

Have a Softail custom 2001 ,think this is an twin 1340cc ,so where Im at is cant find the drain plug .Have located pri. Trans. Where is that motor drain ,Ive been looking for an hour haha

whats the torque spec for a harley touring 2017? do i need 1/4 torque wrench? first time doing my oil. $150 and let harley do it is very e expensive!

DO NOT replace the derby cover gasket with a J&P gasket. I did so, on my 2012 Electra Glide, and she leaked fluid until I installed the Harley stock derby cover gasket.

why is it called a derby cover?

Soooo what's the torque?

Never thought about the neighbors back yard, hmmm, clever, clever.

I love how you instruct to use the proper torque settings for drain plug installation but fail to reveal that setting.

Plug oil is 18-21 lft lbs

Hi there ,can you please tell me if i can use in the primay the Bel-Ray hypoid gear oil 85w140...thank you in advance

You didn't mention the torque spec for the drain plug.

I might suggest a little more light to show the underside of the bike, otherwise, great videos.

Didn't you mean if you strip the screw holes you have to deal with the outer primary Not the inner

I Fill Mine To The Top Of The Clutch Plate . No Need To Measure. Works For Me These Last 60 Yrs/;-))) Peace I Hope/;-))

Is this oil different than the engine oil ?

Why remove the derby cover when you have the inspection window right there?

Don't dump it in your backyard. Save a step by skipping the drain pan and let it run out on the ground preferably while riding

that gasket what is the name you like that gasket better

So 38ounces for all models of harley or..just the touring models?

Wouldn't draining it before taking the cover off make more sense?
