I’ve always checked my Dynas with bike straight up n down and my Softails on the stand , was how I was taught years ago

thanks man , called shops they all want to charge insane amounts of money, but this video helps so much thanks man!

Detailed, yet clear cut and to the point. Thank you!

I just got a 2014 Harley Fat Bob and this was immensely helpful. You deserve more subs, my friend. Greetings and Godspeed from TN, J

I just did my 5k service and noted a few things. The drain plug will take an Allen wrench so get a set of the ones that are on a socket. Don't waste time with a box wrench. Save the "spanner wrench" for adjusting your shocks. Hahaha! Get yourself a funnel that has measurements and a valve that you can open and shut with a screen inside. Then you can measure that last half since you will be using Redline and the bottles don't have a window. Buy a filter wrench cause if your is like mine it will be stuck on there good if you aren't the one who put it on. Use silicone spray on your NEW O-rings.

Great video. I was wondering about trying my own oil changes. But after seeing how it's done I think I will stick with having the shop do it. Thanks again,

That oil pan is very lovely.

I just bought that identical bike lol. Came from indiana.

Awesome Mack...very informative with a cool attitude. Will make life cheaper and fun. Thanks from me here in New Zealand🇳🇿

OK........................... If you are worried about over filling your ride. It takes 2 and a half quarts of Oil. After you have added 2 quarts, take one of the empty bottles that you can see the Fluid lines. Open the 3Rd quart and pour into the empty bottle to the half quart line ! Don't guess ! Take the time to do it right ! Knees in the breeze my friends ! Ride safe this summer and watch out for those Cages Out There !

Great. I use Red Line 20W60HD in my Fat Bob. Makes valve train noise a little bit more quiet.

I come back to your vid year after year. Same bike right down to the color and front sachel

Just found your KZread videos... Semper Fi bro.

Thanks for the how-to! I'm gonna do mine next weekend in my kitchen. Still gotta see where that drain plug is yet, just waiting for my phone to recharge so i can use the cell torch.

me ha encantado escuchar "perfecto" al terminar el vídeo, intento encontrar vídeos relacionados con Harley en español

you should have opened up the filler cap first! then the oil drains better and faster just saying

Love the Vrod in the background...Ive owned 3..

very cool oil pan

Great video mack thx

Good vid man

Helpful thanks

Hi Mack, Thanks for your reviews and video on the oil changes of a pre 2018Fat bob. Any chance you'll be making videos on seat removal, battery changes, Headlight changes, etc? very little out there in the fat bob world. Your video helped with my decision on buying a 2016 fat bob. Keep up the good work.

Hey thanks Trevor! Good to hear from ya. I loved the Fat bob but sold it and the V rod around the same time to get my current bike the Road King special. I really love making videos but the pace of life and some other projects that I have picked up have kept me from filming for quite some time now. All the best brother

I know what you talkin about the O-ring rather be safe than sorry right also is this a 96 cubic inch motor I've got a 2013 Street Bob this got that motor the drain plugs on all three holes or going to be the same right great video

Oil flows too fast that way, it makes the pan over flow. I open the dipstick after it has drained for a bit...

is it necessary to change transmission oil? Because I want to service my dyna street bob by myself and I saw couple of videos on KZread to find out how to service our bike at home. Some people changing a transmission oil also and some people don’t. So if I had to change transmission oil then which oil should I use?

Brother,please mention the oil quantity because I need to change my engine oil .

Was your bike in neutral or first .... if you drop it into first you may just have a little easier access to remove the filter?

Hi Mack, thanks for the video - this is awesome for the beginners like me, can you please share the two other liquids change? That could be the perfect for learning how to work on our Fat Bobs!

@Mack's Moto I have a new Fat Bob and it's almost reaching 5K miles. Do I have to do the 5K Service from HD or can I just do a simple oil change?

@MacksMoto

6 жыл бұрын

Malcom490 great to hear from ya. The oil change is the most costly and labor intensive part of the 5k service. The box next to oil is the only one marked "replace" but there are a number of other items marked "inspect" that warrant looking into. Do you have a service manual? The 5k service is a great 1st one to do your self. If you want to learn more about your bike I would recommend saving the cash from the service and investing in a manual. Make sure to save receipts for fluid purchases if you ever plan to sell the bike to anybody other than the dealer. Most buyers like to see service records.

Thx for the video...u have saved me 300.00 dollars...will u plz tell me what that other bike is behind the fatbob during the oil change...thx

If the V-Rod in the corner is yours, what bike do you like better, the V-Rod or the Fat Bob? Also which bike is more reliable? I used to have an 04 V-Rod and a 2010 Fat Bob. Thank You👍🏻👍🏻

@MacksMoto

4 жыл бұрын

Yup, it was mine. The V-rod was kinda my one-up riding dream bike. The Fat Bob was way more of a utility long hauler. My wife got on the v-rod with me once and absolutely hated it. I only had the v-rod for like 6 months so can't really speak to long term reliability. Except that the V-rods gas gauge was horribly unreliable and that the water cooled system adds an extra layer of complexity to maintenance/repairs... still miss it though. Was a mean bike

Mack's Moto Thank you for the reply! I had my 04 V-Rod for two years. I bought it with 110 miles on it in 2008 and put about 18,000 miles on it with absolutely no issues. Took multiple trips to Naples Florida from Massachusetts and back with my wife on the back. Saddle bags, sissy bar and better seats. Traded in the V-Rod in 2010 for the 2010 Fat Bob and had nothing but starting issues with the bike 2 weeks after I bought it, it killed the experience for us and never took that bike to Florida. It was in HD shops multiple times. I had the Fat Bob for 5 years and sold it with only 5,400 miles on it. It was such a disappointment. My wife was upset with me getting rid of the V-Rod, it was actually a real bad mistake. 👍🏻👍🏻

Derek Macdonagh it is better to have the bike leaned over on the jiffy stand. Service manual is specific about that and the oil pan (position of the plug) is set up so that it needs to be leaned over for all of the oil to come out.

Every one they do in the shop is straight up clamped in to the chock on a table.

Is the oil level accurate with the bike leaning on its stand? Some people I know stand the bike up to check the level after then warm the bike up. At least with sport bikes.
