My 2012 Wide Glide has been sitting for almost three years and I'm getting it back on the road by doing maintenance and upgrades myself. I used to just take the bike to the Harley dealer and say goodbye to my money. Recently I changed the oil with Mobile 1 V-Twin. I plan to use the Mobile 1 when I do the gearbox and primary oil change. Today I replaced some aging grips and brake and clutch levers. Your videos are clear and concise and I appreciate the production quality. I've seen some well intentioned videos where the mechanic doesn't explain anything or the camera doesn't show what the guy is doing. There is nothing like the feeling of doing the wrenching yourself. Thanks for the videos.

Hi Del... Just changed all the oils on mine through following your video. Thank you so much for this knowledge you have passed on. Its an 09 Dyna Superglide Custom with just shy of 8k on the clock . Had it a few months , changed the engine oil straightaway and just plucked up courage to do the primary and gear .I also changed the derby cover torx screws to new stainless allen heads, new gasket and soon done after following your instructions. Dont think it has ever been touched with what come. Thanks ever so much Del for this and other videos your a honest , straight to the point guy and when you fell down from the tree of knowledge you hit every branch on the way down... Cheers Del

I guess you've topped it up now, or is there anything I can help with buddy?

Very well explained step by step instructions 👍🏻

Del and Penny! Thanks for the video! What a team, great wrench, and great camera work! Now a short story of how this one helped me! After 40 years without a bike, last year I bought a 2003 HD Fat Boy, and I am loving it! Last November, I paid a local guy to change engine, trans, and primary oils, before putting the bike away for the winter. Got the bike out a couple of weeks ago and discovered that I had a primary leak, seepage at the inspection cover. I ordered gaskets after seeing your great video. I picked up on your comment about having a hard time finding neutral. My first ride this season, I was definitely having trouble hitting neutral without using my hand. Long story shorter, the gaskets came yesterday, and I found that the primary fluid was high, so I drained some. I certainly wish I had Penny get that camera angle to see the level, but after buttoning it all up, I did find it easier to find neutral with my foot. However, I am wondering if I could drain a little more, as it is not 100% every time. I don't have the confidence to drain more! Anyway, thanks for the video! Stay clear of COVAD-19, and stay healthy! I am Michigan in the states. But just wanted to say that my Great Great Grandfather was from Appleby England, not that it matters, but still wanted to say! Happy Easter!

Hi Brian, good to hear from you Sir, and we have some very good friends who live in Detroit, but Michigan is a big place so perhaps not near you! Good to hear you've found the source of your heavy clutch, too much oil can glue the plates together and make it difficult to find that neutral, and it can make it very heavy going in to gear for the first time in the morning... don't worry about draining too much out, why not just drain the whole lot, replace the bung and replace the oil to the correct level? It's not ultra critical, it needs to just touch the bottom of the clutch plates... and if it's been laid for a while, they can get stickier anyway, so that should improve with use. Great to hear you have ancestors from England, they say we're all related in some way or another! Keep safe at this crazy time, thank you for your kind message and welcome back to the dark side, ride safe, Del

Del and Penny... fyi, update! Took your advice and changed the primary oil. I also adjusted the primary chain! Guess what, I can now find neutral! It worked. One issue, is I ordered a the new inspection cover gasket from JP Cycles on-line. Although their website said it would fit my Fatboy, and it did fit, the James gasket cracked, and leaked oil. I thought I had over torqued it, so I ordered a new torque wrench, and another gasket. I torqued this one spec, and guess what, it also leaked. This time, I went to the HD shop and got a HD gasket, and no leaks! All JP Cycles support would do was say sorry. I learned several big lessons, One you can't trust JPCycles.con , they don't stand behind what they advertise, and bad reviews on their site to warn others, do not get posted. Now had they given me a credit for the cost of two gaskets, I would had turned around and put in another order for some things I would like. It's not a big $ amount, but a principle issue.... They have a credibility issue. Save time and money, go to the Harley shop to get your parts. Hope you two are staying healthy ! Brian

Hey Del, It's nice to see someone do a video on basic maintenance for the new guy that haven't done one before. Do yourself a favor and if you plan on keeping the Harley, get yourself a primary funnel from HD- Part Number 63797-10 or aftermarket for about $11.00. It makes filling the primary so much easier as it clips on and stays there until you pull it off. I used a funnel similar to the one you used for years until I helped a friend that had one and the next day I picked up one for myself. Keep them coming. Later bud

If only I had it that simple for my transmission oil change. Softail Night Train drain plug is up between the shocks which isnt that hard to reach with standard shocks but when you got a Shotgun Shock (Air Ride) as I have then you have to undo the shock from the frame at one end and let it hang down to access the plug, but then you need the hanging clearance. Guess thats why I havent done it in 4 years. Not looking forward to when I have to do it. Happy Easter weekend to you both.

Hey Volvi, I don't envy you that, am fully aware of that little headache, it's so often the case when we modify things, if you do high mileage, you can fit a remote tube, a bit like the Softail tank drain, fit a union to the gearbox drain hole (90degree elbow, use Goodrich hardware), then run a braided hose sideways to a convenient place o the frame rail and secure it with a metal P-clip and you can just put a drain bung in the hose, like a Sportster oil drain hose... doesn't cost much, easy to do whilst you've got the air ride dropped out, then you won't have to go back to it again! ... happy Easter to you too, keep in touch, ride safe!

I like your videos. I want to remove my front shocks and have them power coated. Do you have a vedio for that?

Hi from America just your opinion for my primary oil. I have the same model but mines an 05. I did the clutch adjustment in your other video and the bike I bought was from a dealer but not Harley and believe they put the wrong oil in primary as my bike is a pain to get in neutral and misses first to second and I have to shift up again as it goes in neutral when it acts up. I was told it might be the gear oil and I’m told put Amsoil or Syn3 by different people. What do you suggest as I was also told all three oils can be the same. What do you recommend for oil and weight for primary? Also I’m the same guy who asked you about the tire for a wider front Dyna Wide Glide and need to know where you got the front fender I have a new glide fender but want a Fat boy fender since my rim is an 09 Fat boy chrome 25mm bearings so I bought reducers to 3.75”axle but can’t find fender. Thanks again!

Hi there, primary fluid can be many things and still work successfully, I've used ATF and even fork oil and it's fine because they're both very thin, but have seen a few people make the mistake of putting a heavier gear oil in the primary, on the thinking that it will lubricate the primary chain, but they forget that it glues the clutch plates together, so perhaps that's what's happened with yours. You can, indeed, use Syn3 in the primary, you can use Amsoil engine oil 20W50 in your pirmary, in both cases on the bottle is printed 'engine, transmission & primary', but the best results I've ever had are with Amsoil specified Primary Fluid, it transformed my gear changes and clutch operation, specially when using the dedicated Amsoil Gear Oil in the actual gearbox, so I hope that helps................... With your fender, I run a FatBoy fender on my Dyna WideGlide, with a 16" wheel, and I got it from W&W Cycles in Germany, but they post worldwide, so here's a link: www.wwag.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/WebSite.woa/wa/DirectAction?page=%21163483 they don't always shave everything in stock, so contact them with any enquiries!

Hi again I have a 1995 roadking I hate a strange tin metal swirling noise when driving . It happens really if I don't change the gear down and labour the engine a bit.

It's impossible to diagnose a noise form a description of it Sinead, so it's not worth me guessing. The best thing is to service the transmission side completely, new oil, clutch and chain adjustment, get all that correct, change the gearbox oil too... then ride the bike, and if the noise persists, then i would drop the primary cover off for further investigation. They are mechanically noisy anyway, and a small amount of fine metal debris in the primary drain plug is inevitable and quite normal for general wear and tear..!

One question about the transmission and primary capacities, every where I look it states 1 quart (US) for this leves and the equivalent is 948ml aprox. On the video you say is 750ml aprox on each hole. Can you throw some light on this? Also, I'm thinking of using Motul 7100 20w50 which I believe is suitable for all three holes as well, any advice on this would be appreciated. Saludos desde Tenerife!!

@Moonfleet41

Hi Pedro, OK, both the Transmission and Primary case have indicated levels, for the Trans it will be a dipstick, and for the Primary you fill to the bottom of the clutch plates (viewed through the open derby cover hole)... so just go with that, bikes vary from model to model and year to year over time.. the level is what's more important than the quantity, you will never get all the old oil out unless you strip and dry out the cavity, which means you will always have a varied amount of old oil left behind to throw any quantities out.. all those manual specified quantities pertain to the cavity being bone dry. So fill to the correct level with all oil levels on the bike. As for the oil choice, there are many oils that state they are fine for all three holes, and i used to do this too, with Screaming Eagle Syn3, but if you want a slightly better solution, then i now use dedicated oils for the job... in my Dyna im using Amsoil Primary Fluid in the primary, and the Amsoil thick Transmission oil in the gearbox... the gears change smoother and more quietly, and the bike even cruises smoother in top gear at low speed... so maybe something to consider.. i have a video on this is you wanted to check it out.. long test ride and then a review at the end.. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aHet1ql8p8rYe7w.html

Fairly new to riding how often should I do a total fluid change like that?

Check your service schedule in your handbook mate.. Harley service fluids every 5k miles.

What was the black sealer you used?

Great vid! So let me get this straight. I can use FULL SYNTHETIC 20W-50 on all three holes right?

Not any synthetic, but certainly the Sreamin' Eagle Syn3 is designed for that purpose, it's in the name 'Syn3', designed for all three holes... some challenge that the specific for each hole are better to use, but Harley Davidson recommend that the 'Syn3' is better quality, and higher specificaiton, that the dedicated oils, so I guess that leaves us to make our own choices.

Are Harley's known to make a loud clank when shifting gears ?

Is it me or do you sound a bit like Gordon Ramsay ? 😅 Great video. First time doing a 3 hole change in my 03 Dyna.

Is the Syn 3 ok for the primary and trans on an 02 dyna low rider as well ?

The very name "Syn3" is do signify that they intend the oil to be good for all three holes.. Engine, Transmission and Primary case, some argue that the specific oils are better for the specific jobs.. but talk to HD and they will tell you that the Syn3 exceeds the requirements for all three uses... i have it in my 99 DWG and its quiet, and the clutch disengages smoothly first time every time even from stone cold.. none of the heavy clunk you get with thicker oils..!!! So it's your choice buddy,.. im happy with it FWIW..

Good vid as usual

I don’t have a dip stick, roughly how much oil did you have to put? Quarter bottle, half, 3/4?

"Up the bottom of the clutch plates" is the level stated in the manual.

Enjoy learning from your videos, my question is can I use the same bottles of syn 3 on all three holes, Or is it gear oil, clutch oil,engine oil all three different bottles. 🤔

You can do both, Syn3 is rated for all three uses, but I now use Amsoil separate oils instead, the thicker oil in the gearbox makes a difference, gear shifts are quieter and smoother, and the engine runs a little cooler... other than that, these oils are rated to be multi-use if you choose to.

Hi there, this is a 2000 twin cam, so am presuming yours ins the next, later engine.. al the principles are the same, but just grab yourself a service manual and double check things like torque settings and any specifics there may have been between the model years.

Engine oil for engine, gearbox and chain case. Would that be the same for a 2001 Sportster? Thanks for these great helpful videos.

Hi buddy, Screamin' Eagle SYN3 isn't just engine oil... it's a high quality synthetic oil suitable for all three holes... have a read up on it, it's available from your dealer and exceeds all the recommended oils... great for your Sportster!
