Should have stayed with the EVO !

THIS INSPECTION TAKES 30 minutes on a cold engine !

These fast Johnnie are not selling well anywhere. I think H.D. should have chosen better color and tank badge.

my battery of harley sportster went dead, i tried to jump it but my alarm started when i try to remove battery, now it's asking for a pin number which i never had a pin number what can i do to start my engine,i have my key fobs but i don't know my pin number

HOW DO U ENTER A 0

hey is this still availible?

My bucket list bike. 2006 screaming eagle vrod is my all time favorite. Yellow, red or Harley orange

I swapped the chain and tensioners out on my My 01 Roadking, even tho at 19k they had virtually zero wear in the shoes, since it was a timken bearing crank the Run out on the crank was .001 and it went in easily

Glad to see a video from you folks!

Slow expensive boat no wonder Harley is going bankrupt

It just cracks me up that Harley is still addressing all these engine problems and still can't come up with a dependable, powerful engine that you don't have to dump tons of money into to get it running right. It's uncanny that the metric models (Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki and Yamaha) can come out with so many different models, and get it right the FIRST time with no problems. Now I'm not saying all of them are perfect, but most of them are very dependable and powerful for their size. With the prices of Harleys, you'd think they would get it right by now.

😎💪👍👊

I have a 2016 triglide do I need to watch for that. Thank you for bringing this up

Can you please give part reference number for those 12" apes ?

What a fucked up video. Why not tell the customer to replace it with a good replacement part? I'll never come to you guys....

This should have been a recall. - I replaced them with S&S hydraulics with cams, plate, bearings and cams... Harley failed so bad with this.

Harley has no idea what a "deal" is period.

I am the original owner of a 2005 FLSTCI, with 108,000 kilometers on it. I just learned about this problem a week ago. Pulled off the cam cover and sure as hell, the outer tensioner shoe was broken. Luckily, there was no metal contacting the chain. Unfortunately, the outer chain guide broke as soon as I moved the tabs to take it out. The inner tensioner has very little wear. Why HD didn't build these engines with geared cams, I can't understand.

Great Information Mark...Especially this time of year as everyone is heading to Sturgis! Excellent presentation! Hope all is well!

Not only cam tensioners are a go. Cam plate and HD bearings as well are faulty issue as the plate suddenly can loose pressure affecting directly the bearings specifically the cage that has individual restrain for each roller making it a potential disaster that ocurred on my ultra limited 103 2014 with 15k on odometer costing me about 2500 on labor and parts (pistons,cams,oil pump,cam plate, gaskets,oil...) i love my bike but it is outreageous how HARLEY DAVIDSON CO. ignores it and make us pay for their engineers mishap.... as a scheduled low mileage open engine high costo maintenance..

Timing chain is old tech. As is tensioners. I cant see where its not a maintenance item. For instance my lexus has to have timing belt changed every 50k and failure to do so could result in damage to your engine. What is the difference?

The best way to fix this is throw out the chain and tensioner and replace the cams with a gear drive system. It’s a little pricey but you’ll eliminate the crappy HD design flaw that the motor company refuses to even acknowledge.

As you can see in the picture I ride a serious Harley Davidson so does my wife and my son and I restored one for my 2 year old grandson when he’s ready. But this is going to run Harley Davidson out of Buissness ,first electric motorcycles now electric bicycles? Really? Focus on your core product Real gas powered Motorcyles…….good god people …..

Take that whole hunk of $*it and find metal dumpster and download it. Gear drive cams are the best way to go.

I feel so much safer watching the video

Nice bike

Looking at an 06 with 70k mi. No history on it, should the tensioner have been replaced already or will I have to have it opened up to see?

The thing I don’t understand is why hasn’t someone made cam tensioners with rubber based shoes and a springs with less tension pressure. It seems that to go down the route of a new cam plate and hydraulic tensioners or gear drive is a sledge hammer to crack a walnut. I own an 88 Twin Cam and really can’t see why so much expense and controversy is involved in such a simple fix. Less tension on the shoes coupled with different tensioner material should cure the problem; or at least alleviate it. In my book this is a scam to get owners to shell out unnecessary cash. Just my opinion.

Almost makes you appreciate the old Evoil engine

I was lucky with my 2000 FLSTC my cam chain tensioners didn't fail and at 50K miles I did a cam upgrade with a new cam plate, lifters, high volume oil pump and hydraulic tensioners. I would recommend replacing oil breather filter and flapper valves on the rocker assembly too..

My 07 fxdb was 107 thousand miles when I sold it.dealer serviced whole life never was checked by dealer.ever on any .service. ride hard and free

I have a 2002 deuce how about that.

Spent a good 3 hours removing foot rest heat sheilds and exhaust pipes so I could inspect the out cam tensioner only. A pain in the butt, but save a ton of money. It seem to be wearing ok. I wish I could post a picutre so you to could see it.

Thanks for info ,looking at 2006 street bob.apprently it has hydraulic tensioners

Thanks for wearing mask. 👍

Have an 02 Fatboy with almost 30k. I’m original owner. I took the chest cover off a couple years ago and could see the outside shoe was half worn, but after finagling a bit, I could see the inner pad was 3/4 worn through. I decided to upgrade to hydraulic tensioners and an upgraded plate. While the tech was in there, I had the lifters upgraded, bearings replaced, and the upper rocker box gaskets and breathers replaced (since it was being taken apart anyways). Left the cam as stock as I was happy with the stock cam performance. With parts and labor, cost me about $1300 and three days waiting (dealer was extremely busy). Tech told me no need to replace my stock cams(thought it would be needed), he said there was literally no wear on the cam lobes. 👍 I preform oil/fluid change in the three holes every year before winter regardless of mileage. Cheap insurance and it obviously paid off. I’ve put about another 1k since the service and no issues. I figured with the updated plate/oil pump and bearings, it is FINALLY corrected to what it should have been years ago. Also, as I mentioned, the cam bearings were replaced, which when these bikes originally came out, 2001/2002, there was a recall on certain vin models because of faulty bearings, it affected a small number of bikes, but I have always been worried about “if” or “when” mine would go. Glad those were replaced at this service for peace of mind. Just my 2 cents.

Not to doubt what you say, but I have tried this on my 2006 Electra Ultra and it doesn't work. Any ideas?

We are going to shoot a RUclips video ; of a twin-cam 88 running with the cam chain tensioners pulled. Then, we are going to look for a Mil-8 motor ; pull the hydraulic tensioners out ; plug the oil feed ; and re-shoot another video of this motor running without those chain tensioners.......

Trasher supply wtf this part why Harley is dying. The people from many dealers don't even know what they are selling

Got HARLEY ULTRA.....WONT CRANK, NO SIGNALS, HEADLIGHT RUNNING LIGHT TAIL LIGHTS AND HORN ALL WORK....NO blinkers, can't bypass security.....also....no lights in speedo or tach gauge, and no speedometer indicator lighting up where code is suppose to be displayed....HELP

I have aftermarket gauges. I won't be able to do this! correct?

I have a 2014 bashan storm 250 I bought it with no key and a dead battery I have to get a key made and it had a key fob system but he lost it with not haveing it would that stop my bike from starting? And make the light go off and the alarm go off when I put the key in it and try to start it?

Sir I appreciate your vid here. I do have a question. At what point can one tell if the condition has "gone too far" and you need a new engine? I am currently looking at an 06 EG with 26,000 miles... used... and am not confident shoes have not already done as this vid shows... only for owner to slap it back together and off-load that bike on some old fart like me. I have no problem upgrading it before I ride it a mile or 2 if I purchase it. I just do not want to blindly throw away $$ on a bad motor. Thanks again for the vid and please.. you and yours stay COOTIE19 free!!

Wow the lady in the far right corner hates what he’s doing!!😤😤😤😤😤

With having a stage 1 an2 kit on my 2019 heritage , what is the power difference with having slip on pipes compared to a full exhaust ???

Thanks for the advice. I have an 11 Dyna and use Amzoil, but am still going to keep an eye on my tensioner.

Do you put the same type of tensioners on as a replacement?

I am still coming to grips with this design flaw on my bike and my wife's bike. I can say for certain, it has cost HD two future sales. I inspected one bike at 19K miles and the inner and outer tensioners look good, so I should get to 30K miles on that bike. However, as an engineer with 30 years experience wrenching motorcycles, this is not a maintenance issue, it is a design miss on HD's part.
