That presentation is what keeps people honest. The job gets done right, and all parts get replace that need replacement.. and parts that don't need replacing....

Using this video to pull my gears out of my 2010 RG. Very helpful! Could you do a video on changing a belt? I want to do that while I’m in here and not sure how to go about the rear tire. Thanks!

I run red line which is red in my transmission not to cover up noise but to enhance shifting and protection

Great video ! I was changing my gear oil and one single ball bering fell out in my hand , had some shavings on magnet. It was and still is shifting out decent .....Do I have a failing bearing , or maybe it got left in case from last rebuild ? 2010 street glide

Hey man, awesome video. Excuse my ignorance but maybe you can give me some direction. I ride and 16 dyna and I’ve been having an clunk (chain skipping sound) issue during heavy acceleration in low gears. It only occurs for a second When under heavy throttle in first and sometimes second. If i ride the bike like a normal person i can’t hear any kind of slipping through any of the gears rolling through all 6. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks in advance

Great video. Thanks for all the information. My Road King went down about a month ago right before spring weather and I have been trying to work on it since. I believe it's my transmission, It will not shift at all. All the shops are backed up so I'm on a waiting list. I decided I want to do it myself but do it right. I already checked my clutch plates so I think it's time to pull my tranny. I have never done this before so trying to watch as many videos as I can and research what I need to do.

My sportster 5spd 2006 trans got water fouled from flood... Is it possible to drain and salvage this somehow or should I be looking at a whole swap and if so do I need to divorce the case and "marry" a whole transmission w/ case to the bike if they are not unitary?

Any idea where to find how to the same on a 1990 883 deluxe? I cannot get the plate off after the strator. Thanks for any help

Great video thanks! That had a lot of good information. Looks like i will likely need to pull my transmission on my 17 Lowrider S. It makes a clucking sound in 2nd gear only when i am decelerating, the clunking sound is accompanied by a bounce or vibration that goes through shifter and linkage. This only happens in second gear and only happens when decelerating. The bike drives and shifts normal under acceleration. Seems kind of odd to me, maybe a worn dog ring or possibly a broken second gear? Will be draining the fluid this afternoon and taking a closer look.

In my experience the redline with shock proof is to slick. During dissembling bikes with redline shock proof you could see unusual ware patterns on bearings indicating "skating", rather than normal spinning. The redline used to be all the rage, but after a couple years in 6speeds we've found belray hypoid gear oil to be the best and that's what we recommend if people ask.

So, you don’t like Redline oil? Thanks for your feed back.

to do a 6 speed on you bike it requires a complete new gear set. The new 6 speed kit will reuse almost noting of your original 5 speed other than the transmission case, the 6 speed kits at normally longer then your Oem setup and if you were to add reverse to it it would stick out the right sided of the bike even further, likely causing the exhaust system to have clearance issues. Id recommend calling baker transmissions and they will likely set you up with a whole new gear set and reverse kit.

The gear pack assembly (AKA 35246-10B) comes as a complete assembly, leaving just a couple bearings, front sprocket, main drive gear and primary bearings for a tech to install.

Through daily use I use 1 ratchet strap through the front wheel and wrap it around the wheel chock so the front wheel is positivity clamped to the hoist. For certain work I use a second ratchet strap through the front wheel and wrap it around the bottom of the hoist (super duper insurance the wheel wont come out of the wheel chock). And if the bikes on the hoist over night I leave a flat jack under the back of the frame just incase the tires go flat overnight. That keeps them stable.

I had a buddy with 2016 Deluxe he was towing but it was rocking back and fourth in gear! Should have been in neutral. He had a problem but not sure where probably the first/second shift fork? Also that Damper spring seat in clutch can fall behind the clutch hub! Talk about Junk!

Impacts get a bad rap imo. If you have proper fitting sockets and the correct power tools the forces applied to the head of the fasners will be surprise when you compare a loctited bolt being hand untreated threaded vs with an impact. It's in my experience that with the impact you have better control of keeping the socket perfectly square on the head of fastener and the way in that the impact delivers power unthreads, breaks the locktite quick and easily. Where as when doing it by hand your fighting the binding of the locktite and your constantly applying pressure with your ratchet then unloading against the head to ratchet, then loading with the next stroke. Where with the impact it my sound like many small blows but how it transfers to the socket & ware on the head of the fastener is less. I don't use small impacts because its a annoying sound and is just less effective. Imo.
