Why does the front and the right rear tire need to be 6 in off the ground and the left rear doesn't??
@DKCustomProducts

Good question, and I am sorry I did not address Why in the video. When just doing a bleed, or when replacing the coolant (which requires a bleed at the end), by having the right side of the bike higher than the left side it will assist the air bubbles in escaping the system. They escape out of the radiator cap which is on the right front side of the Trike.

Just had the same thing happen to my 21 FLTRK. Had to stop but I fill the “overflow?” To cold level never overheated for 200 mile but I checked again and tank was empty. Refilled it with bike cold to the cold level and it’s remained there with no more overheating issues so far. Glad I found this video as a how to guide. Note: do not do what I did. I was under a time constraint and had to go and gambled. No problem for me but with my luck all I can say is the man upstairs was looking over me.

Cool, glad it was useful. The '14 was my first wethead, and the coolant level never changed, never had any issues whatsoever with the system. Since I was sort of put off by having a water-cooled Harley I'm thinking that influenced me never taking any time to learn about it. lol Well, I had to learn about it on this trip. Am glad I did now. Over the years there have been a few folks that had hot running bikes where we could never figure out why...it really does not take much of an air bubble to bump that temp up 30-40 degrees. Even if the coolant overflow tank is not low, if the coolant was filled and not all the air bled out of the pressurized system...that is all it takes.

Hi guys, I have a 2021 Ultra Classic Limited and had the same issue. I too had an unknown leak somewhere that never showed up under the bike when it was parked. Eventually I lost enough coolant to where I sucked air into the system. I appreciate your video and it helped me to get back on the road again without any issues at all. One thing I noticed as I was removing the filler cap, the cap adapter would spin in both directions as I turned the cap. I'm talking about the pressurized cap, not the rubber one on the overflow tank. I thought this might be the source of the leak. It takes a little effort to make it spin so I think it'll only leak when the bike is hot and running. The problem seems to be that the factory-installed hose clamp is the crimp type and wasn't put on tightly enough. I solved this by adding a 1 in regular screw type hose clamp just above the factory clamp. Now it doesn't turn with the cap. I will let you know if I continue to experience the coolant level decreasing without a noticeable leak.

Has anyone tried engine ice or water wetter to help reduce temps? I’ve used in cars and dirt bikes to help with the heat. Thanks for another great video!
@DKCustomProducts
3 ай бұрын
We have not tried or heard of anyone trying the engine ice, but since the twin cooled bikes only have coolant going around the exhaust valve it does not do much to cool down the over all engine anyways. P.S. If the engine ice does do a good job of drastically cooling down small area that the coolant runs through on the exhaust valve and not the entire engine I would be concerned about it making the metal around the exhaust valve too cool against the rest of the engine running too hot and causing a head to crack or warp.

Drain it out, like shown in the video. Then, if you want to flush every last bit, reconnect one hose at the pump, put some fresh coolant in the reservoir, then activate the pump, as shown in the video, with the throttle, and pump out all of the coolant out of the hose you left disconnected. Most important tip is to get all the air bubbles out, as shown in the video. Thanks for commenting! KP

Glad you enjoyed, and good to hear your dealership replaced and bled your coolant. I knew it was overheating because I use a Power Vision to monitor a variety of data. I saw my ET (temp sensor in the cylinder head) go much higher than normal. I did shut it down prior to the indicator light on the instrument panel lighting up. But there is one there, at least on the 2019 models.
I’m glad you posted this video. My 2021 has been spitting coolant every ride. I would come back from a ride and pull off the cover. With the bike off, the over flow would expand and run out. This would pulse like this for 2 min. I followed you video and checked for air in the system. Unfortunately, no air. Took it to the dealer. They found that the coolant cap was not releasing pressure. 20$ part. Do you know what kind of tester you would need to check a cap? Again thanks for all your videos. Really enjoy the channel.

Your comment about the cap helped me to solve the problem on my Bike, thanks!
I have a 2015 road glide, the hoses were in a little different position, but not very difficult. I did follow the overflow tubing, the one from the radiator cap goes to the bottom of the tank and then a tube runs from the top of the tank down to the bottom of the bike. My cap was not put on correctly during the last service, but the leak just caused loss of pressure in the system. Temperature did get high and the coolant reservoir tank lost fluid overtime. But no bubbles, lucky

Possibly. I'm keeping an eye on the coolant level. So far it's been 1400 miles and the level has not moved.
I had problems the coolant poured out after stopping the engine. I think the coolant 2 step cap is the problem so I ordered a new one. And while waiting for the new i sprayed on silicone on the rubber in the cap. And also blowed the radiator with air from the back to the front. That solved the problem.

Great job gents! I just got off my bike and I don't see any fluid in the tank. I just had the bike totally serviced and they changed the fluid less that 500 miles ago. Today there's no fluid in the tank and what got me to look at it wast the fan or pump continuing to run after I got off the bike. I'm thinking they did not get that radiator cap back on correctly. There hasn't been a problem with it since 2017, but all of a sudden, nothing showing in the tank reservoir. There are no signs of leaking, so I'm thinking it has to be the cap. Hopefully nothing wrong in the heads!! Wish me luck, and thanks again for showing how to properly bleed the air out!

I saw a video here where one part on the inside of the pump exploded, I have a code P1019, ECT Difference (high temp)....? Do I change the cooland and go, or should I get a new pump? Thanks for all your video's, I plan to get your air intake set up in the next couple days. The mechanic said drive it, it's the radio antanna????

I am on my second bike with a water pump and have not had a problem with the pump. However, they are plastic and more than a few have failed on the road. P1019 ECT Difference (high temp) Possible causes: ECT sensor malfunction. No air flow through radiators. Low or no coolant in system. Could also be wiring, cooling pump or ECM That code is not an antenna code. If the pump is running when you test it, and you see the liquid moving in the overflow tank, then I would change the fluid and look and see if there are any plastic parts in it. If there are not, and the fluid is flowing, then it would seem that you pump is good. Appreciate your business, I think you will be well pleased with any of our intakes.

Oh, nothing ruined. We had a great day....just a little break in it to fix a problem that would not have existed if I had done it right from the start. lol Here is a link to a Ride Report that has tons of photo's, with more being added each week, of the spectacular riding and scenery. www.hdforums.com/forum/road-trips/1345907-ride-report-during-covid-13-states-and-some-spectacular-riding.html

Thanks, we have improved the audio quite a bit since this one. Apologize that this one was not loud enough.
Why I watched this... I'm not sure. I have a 2016 FXDLS

lol, yeah Tyler...maybe you watched because it is such a curiosity that HD has water cooled engines...or maybe you watched with satisfaction that you do not have one. ROFL. It is crazy, decades of riding and I never thought I would have a water cooled Harley!
