Ever wondered how to change transmission fluid on a motorcycle with just a few tools? In this video, I dive into servicing my dad's bike, starting with the essentials: Syn3 SAE 20W-50 transmission fluid, HD gasket and O-rings, a 3/8's drive socket wrench, long reach 3/8's Allen, and a 5/8's socket.
Using the manual as my guide, I tackled the task step-by-step. While it took me longer than a seasoned Harley mechanic, the experience was invaluable. The bike is now up and running smoothly, and I've gained a ton of knowledge in the process.
Here are my top tips for servicing your motorcycle:
1️⃣ Mark the mileage on your odometer to keep up with maintenance intervals.
2️⃣ Ensure you have the right tools; manuals help with steps but not tool sizes.
3️⃣ Allocate extra time for the job-you never know what challenges you might face.
4️⃣ Do your research! KZfaq can be a great resource, even if the exact model isn’t available.
5️⃣ Be patient with yourself. This is a learning journey, and everyone starts somewhere.
Join me as I share my hands-on experience, the challenges I faced, and the satisfaction of a job well done. Whether you're a seasoned mechanic or a weekend tinkerer, there's something here for everyone. Let's get our hands dirty and learn together! 💪🔧
