I heard you mention that the limited low is good for shorter riders I'm about 6 ft 1 would you recommend not getting a low? I currently have an 05 xlch 1200 sporty custom. I do like that it sits higher I do want to upgrade to a more comfortable larger bike and I want more leg room I want to be able to stretch out. Even with the forward controls on my sporty my legs don't extend all the way

There is only one product in the service department to sell and that is “Time!” Also, look up “Effective labor rate” and do the math! That will tell you just how much you’re worth and what the shop needs to meet to stay open.

To recap: I have a 1983 FXWG, if the battery voltage is good, the bike is charging and the stator is not grounding out then it's most likely the voltage regulator (or wiring in between), correct?

Sorry I like Harley’s and all but the best solution is to just get a Honda shadow. Best bikes ever made I swear. It rarely tears up and if it does it’s so much cheaper to fix and upgrade.

Hey John, my wife has a 2013 XL 883 L and a PO 107 ( map sensor) code came up. coming off the throttle cable assembly there is a plastic piece that goes over the map. How much has to come off to get to the map. I haven't been able to find any videos on this subject. I reset the code and used throttle body cleaner and now having trouble starting it altogether . Any help would be appreciated thanks

Was doing mine last night and forgot to slack my clutch cable first. Adjusted the basket and went to pull lever and… clunk followed by lever going slack. Played with it for about 10 minutes, setting the adjustment about 3 or 4 times (this time with cable slacked and then restoring it) before it started feeling okay. Went for quick ride and it feels normal. Did I screw something up majorly or just a lesson learned the hard way?

I see that MMI forgot to teach you about using black nitrile gloves and the proper use of a shop towel instead of using the front of your pants! And, how your hair and beard isn’t a hazard working around bikes?? Why everyone thinks they have to look like a biker while working on HD’s is a thing of the past and not necessary. The only good point you mentioned about coming out of MMI was to humble yourself since you won’t know crap coming into a dealership. That’s when the real training begins. I would also point out that your attendance at MMI would be most crucial since dealerships look at your attendance score rating showing us whether or not you showed up to class to actually learn something. In addition, MMI (If you are reading my comments here) stop brainwashing these kids telling them how much they can demand coming out of school. Most of them aren’t worth $12 an hour. As far as the certifications, it’s all toilet paper at the end of the day! You either have it or you don’t since it’s all nut and bolts, and it all has the same theories. Fuel, compression, spark, or suck, bang, blow, tire changes, seat swaps, stereo installs, paint, accessory installs, big bore kits, you get my point. All repetitive every day. Now, can you really troubleshoot at all? At the end of the day, look professional and not a greasy mess, put your tools away, stop the smoke breaks, and the bathroom is not an Internet cafe…..shit and split…time is money! Be ready for work ten minutes prior to your start time! And a good tech will try and figure out his or her ELR for each day to see if they are an asset or just a body wasting dealership dollars. ELR….effective labor rate! Lastly, keep your hands off someone else’s gas tank! Gee whiz!
