I just want to thank-you for posting this. My hubby needed to figure out how to get to the stater and you did a fantastic job of how to do it. Thank-you again.

Your instructional videos are awesome. Your videos have made it very easy for me to do work on my motor without any problems. Thank you very much for taking the time to make these.

Thanks for these videos- I followed them step by step and had great success.

I like that you do this in real-time, not the highly edited crap that others do. Very nice. Thanks.

thanks, i just had to put a new ring and pinion gear set in. you have no idea how much i apreciate people like you. keep up the good work!

Thank you so much Art. I appreciate your kind words... thank you for taking the time to post.

Hell of a job mi Amigo your one great kind teacher reminds me of my uncle back in the 60 in 70s he lived in Santa Cruz California he was a four-door air Force brace he used to work an old BSA and triumph bikes and he was kind enough to give me a bike an old 68 triumph I wish I still had that bike but he taught me how to work on that bike then I got in a little jam little trouble in Mexico I never rode bikes again till 2018 I have a 2008 road King and I replaced the stator and Man without you I wouldn't have done it congratulations you're a good brother God bless you brother May the grace of God be upon you and your family and your kin by the way I'm from Tucson Arizona and they call me the flamingo keep on riding ✌️ be safe 🙏 great videos Aca F.CH

Great job ! I used this video couple years back to replace my stator !!

Excellent video, very clear and informative! Thank you for sharing.

can't begin to thank you enough for this.

Very good video. Great explanation and camera shoot. Thank you . I’m at ease and ready to set - up shop and dive in.

Thanks for walking us through the procedure. I did this on my Sportster but it didn't hurt to see how it's done on the Big Twin. My 1996 Road King is now repaired.

great vid ! simple informative and insightful, greets from germany.

Hey mate your videos are awesome.I have done this a couple times on my 03 RKC putting in 3.37 gearing and doing clutch etc, using common sense and the help of the HD manual.fellas its easy and good for your confidence.Keep up with the great videos mate... thumbs up to you.

Thanks for posting this. You rock!

Great video mate. Thank you. Helped me out.

You make it look so easy.

Great video. Very helpful thanks

Great video man. Thanks!

Thank you these videos are very well explained

thanks for the help 11 years later good video

my pleasure scott. your vids are great. regards, john

Yes, always replace sprockets when replacing a chain. I learned that from old school riders. If the chain us loose and worn, then its safe to say your sprockets are too. If you don't, your worn sprockets will prematurely wear out your new chain. I could check the manual, but I bet you will find this answer correct. Thanks for posting your question.

I subscribed just because if this video, I hope to purchase an 84 FXST here real soon, awesome vid thanks

You bet Robert. Thank you for taking the time to show your appreciation.

Good job - good camera work

SO MUCH FUN TO WORK ON .

Great videos brotha keep em coming

Thanks a bunch. This will help me a lot.

Thanks!! Learned a lot!!!

HDron666 - Primary Chain tension, "deflection" per my manual, is 5/8" or 16mm-22mm when cold >> and 3/8"-5/8" or 9.5mm-16mm when hot. Great to hear you are working on your own bike. Hope things go/went well. Scott

Great help. Thanks

Great video, its appreciated.

Nice work on all your videos.........best on Utube ......and the net

Great video.

man what a job getting the compensator nut off. fought with it for a couple hours. the suggestion to put heat to it worked. thanks for the help.

Great video bro. .

@squadman33.... thank you for the great tutorial, here. Camera work and instruction and tips are great. Thank you again.

@ gutchun - Thanks so much for your kind words. Glad the video shed some light on the subject. Scott

Thanks for the video ,I just needed to change the clutch basket assembly but no one has the video for that .I have a 2003 thanks .

Best Video...Great job

Great video Scott. Trying to do just this with two manuals and neither showed this clutch assembly in any detail. Loads of warnings don't take off, springs under tension, Harley tech should do this. Scary stuff man. Good job! Well done.

Nice job on the video, thanks.

Nice instruction bro. Thumbs up...

Good video. Only HD uses 11/16ths and a 1 3/16ths sizes........we used to use a copper penny in the chain to hold it still.

Good stuff👍🏻👍🏻

really nice video thank you

Ok, thank you! I found in manual the test of stator through voltmeter. And It's good - 0,5 Ohm. ))

@ Paolo Peña - Thank you so much for your kind words... glad I could help.

You are very helpful man,thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Great job!!! Thanks!!! Don in Omaha NE

this guy rocks right on man

It is possible to remove clutch release plate without removing adjustment bolt and jam nut. This way you do not have to adjust clutch during re-assembly. Just remove snap ring and plate assembly will come out in one piece. No re-adjustment necessary! It was surprising to see you leave your error attempt to remove the clutch assembly nut by normal right hand thread loosening. I just did the same over the weekend when removing primary to get access to shift lever coming out of trans. ANYWAY Two thumbs up! and thank you

Nice job. Thanks for the post.

nice job man

Great stuff. Thanks

great vid. i was just going to say when you did....the clutch hub shaft is left hand threaded...the crankshaft end is standard right hand thread.

BruntSkull - LMAO! Thanks for taking to time to post.

Hey VTwin, Thanks for the vids, there great! Only thing im missing is the correct tention on the primary chain. Ive got a '76 1200 shovel flh electra glid. And doing all my maintanance myself and getting better at it all the time. Whit help from your vids and others like yours :-) Thx.

good job bro

@ rsscoyote Renan Lucio - Thanks brother for taking the time to comment. I appreciate your kind words. Scott

@ midatlanticcycle - Thanks for looking out for me brother! LOL Thank you for your comment, Scott

@ clarktferrill - LOL, thank you. You CAN do this job. That's why I couldn't wait to post it... wanted to make sure it was done well to take the mystery out of it all. Scott

@ oOSTEMOo - not sure I follow, but thank you for taking the time to comment. Scott

@ super Mario - Thank you so much for your kind words. Can't wait to have some free time and make more. Scott

@squadman33 - Thanks brother, appreciate your postitive feedback.

great info learned much thank you

Juan, thanks for your comment. I appreciate your kinds words. How did you do on your repair? Scott

very helpfull thanks

@brandonashton1 - Hey Brandon, thanks for your kind words. I just hoped I could help someone out. It's people like you who keep me interested in making the videos. Take care, Scott

Thanks so much for your comment. Can't wait to make a few more. Scott

great video. I wish you would have gone one step further as I am replacing the stator on my '94FXDWG' I dont have a spring compressor and nothing wrong with the clutch. this makes it so very simple. thank you.all I need is a easy way to insert the stator plug through the inner primary. like to never got the old one out.

thanks!

@ jusslookin - Thanks for taking the time to comment. While prepping for the video, I cut my hand on the compensator nut. Just another reason I should have had gloves on in the first place. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and offer your input. Scott

An excellent thorough job. Video instruction doesn't get better than this, folks! Thumbs up (no doubt) and I subscribed to see more of this master artist in action!

Thank you for the video! I did have to use heat to help. I used a 1/4 of an inch 1X1 piece of angle iron 9 inches long to place in between the two sprockets to keep them from rotating. It did bend the first time... bah ha ha..... Used it again after the heat and FINALLY it broke loose. I also used penetrating oil. ( not sure if that helped) Thanks again for the useful video!!

Thank you for the info it really helps !!! i will let you know what the outcome was.

Juan, don't worry about the long post. It's all good. Hope you'll be kind enought to let us know what you find out.

Also good battery charge and 13,5-14,5 volts.

Just use an impact. I'v tried it all and as a result, I'v been using an impact for last 41 years for clutch hub and compensating nut. I have also seen primary chains stretched doing it the way this guy is doing it and the compensating nut still did'nt come off.

great video. I have to change stator on my wide glide 1994’.I want to know what key is needed to unscrew the primary bolt?

Red locktight on both screws (Clutch nut and compensator screw) compensator screw is a ONE TIME use screw. When you take it out replace it with a new one.

@hydroboy35th - Thank you so much for your feedback. I'll do my best to keep'em coming. I'm just waiting for the next break down at this point. Take it easy, Scott V-TwinOnline . com

If you do not have 13.5 - 14.5 volts DC at the battery, then you know it's an issue with your charging system. This can be a range of things; but as I was always taught... follow the volts. By checking voltage, you check for BOTH good wiring & good volts. (if the wiring were bad, you would not have good voltage.) Follow the volts. Volts AC are generated out of the stator, so check for 70 volts AC at the stator. I bought a new battery in Amirlo and found out in Toledo is was a bad Stator!

It takes a little getting used to. I use tham when working on big stuff, but have to remove them for small parts. Note: Earlier I had cut my finger tips on the compensator nut; the flats had sharp edges. But I know where you are coming from.

I replaced the crank shaft seal and was reassembling, torquing the compensator nut and it snapped off. The machined groved shaft of the compensator assembly won’t come off the crank shaft. Any suggestions on a fix?

midatlanticcycle - Thank you for taking the time to comment. It only improves the "site". Thank you again, Scott V-TwinOnline . com

Do you have a video for changing the clutch plates on this same bike?
