Wanta challenge....try fixing the oil leak on a early 90's oil drain hose. The one with the plug welded under the battery tray. What a crappy design.
What year what Bike. Just make sure you get the OEM replacement hose. The clamps you can tighten with a pair of pliers wire cutters or side cutters. Any questions let us know. Patients Harley Davison. Thank you foe watching and your sub Tom. Ride Safe and have a great day.

I had a leak on my 2014, turned out to be from the oil drain hose right where it is clamped to the frame. Somehow the hose developed a crack and after not riding for a week the oil tank was almost empty. Ordered a new drain hose.

Rocco, I have an 87 classic that's stuck in first gear. And basically the shifter flops around. I know it doesn't pertain to this post. But I'm stuck. Just like the ultra classic is stuck in first gear. Any help is appreciated. Rocco.
Try to rock the bike back and forth and try to switch gear. And make sure your transmission lever is tight at your trans. box. Sounds like that is your problem, Let us know how this works out.
my 87 sportster all rebuilt rode it once before covid came about. bike sits in heated storage leaking on carboard under primary area . have to investigate it . It never leaks unless the ooil tank bracket cracked again.
Happy to help. Any questions just ask. Thank you for watching and your sub Yadda. Let us know how it works out. Ride safe and have a great day.
My oil on my 2005 883 XL leaked li,e hell today I'm checking your guide on this hopefully is that
Happy to help where is it leaking from? Thank you for watching and all your support. Manuel. ride safe and have a great day.
Thank you Rocco. Great to keep in mind. I would like to know what brand and model is that stand you have your front wheel in? Where did you get it? My bike doesn't have a center stand either and this would be great for doing oil changes and checking proper oil level.
Thanks in Advance,
Bob
🦃 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Condor pit stop. Great stand. Ebay. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1311.R1.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.Xcondor+pit.TRS0&_nkw=condor+pit+stop&_sacat=0 Thank you for Support. Hope this helps Rob. Have a great day and ride safe
@@TwoWheelRocco thanks Rocco, I'm in Michigan so won't be riding until Spring, lol
Nice video! My 2005 HD XL 1200 have oil leaks too. My mechanics said that oil came from the lower end of the engine and need to disassembly the entire engine and rebuild it ground up to solve the problem. Do you think is that possibile? What can I check to valuate the problem?
Tanks!

How many miles? This does not sounds right. clean and inspect. Sounds like time for a new mechanic. Let me know how this works out Dan.
@@TwoWheelRocco less than 15.000 Miles. It seems to be the primary chain oil. The leak starts st the center of the cast alloy junction of the basement. I don't know why. I suspect a failure of the stock gasket.
I would get a anothor opinion. Primary gasket is not a big deal. Let us know how it works out.
Quick question i changed the primary gasket on my sportsters but it still leaks it seem like its not the plug or gasket..any advice
Send a photo. Erocco 3964@gmail.com see if I could help.
Add a card gasket cheap and exactly how Harley used to do it
Thank you for your Comment And Support. Ride Safe and have a great day.
I had a leak just like this from a full service from a shop! I changed the oil the time before and no leak. But the shop did and didn’t tighten the hose tight enough. My question is, does hose placement matter much? I put the hose about where you put it. But the shop put it closer down the tubing closer to the end where it meets the plug. I’m wondering if the clamp placement might be a factor to consider when tightening (obviously it needs to be on the tube covering the area where the plug is inside the tube.)
Edit: hose clamp** forgot the word clamp. But you should get what I was saying.
@@ViralVeediuh Happy to help. Some of the older bikes, it's pushed into a plug and there's a clamp that you tighten on the new bikes, it clips to the side with a vinyl plug and a clamp. They both will work. I like the one where it's at least protected by your frame. Thank you for watching and all your support. Alex. Sports there are great machines. Ride safe and have a great day. And do your own work very rewarding.
Well done sir. This video was very helpful.
Nice work! Happy to Help, Thank you for your Sub. Ride Safe and have a great day.
Hey Rocco, I'm having a problem with the fuel overflow from the bottom of the carb leaking gas constantly. Can u help me please.
Sound like your float jet has some dirt in there. Clean carburetor and reinstall.ruclips.net/video/Pp4l-zbQcy0/видео.html. Hope this helps, Let us know how this works out. Thank you for your sub Will.
my 883L does that after an oil change. just a single drop or two. even when it sits for 3 days. I tightened it, loosened it, turned the plug again, tightened, retightened it a day later. still just a single drip. then about two weeks later it somply stopped.
A lot of times that's just a residue from when you removed your oil & filter. It's a sloppy set up. Any questions just ask. Thank you for your Sub Woody. Ride Safe and have a great Holiday.
Beautyfull bike is it carberated or fuel Ingected I put a second 1/4 inch clamp on my 1200c sporty 2011 cause I cant stand to see that dangle like that ...ride it like you love it !!! Thank you Rocco
It is a 2009 XL1200 that is fuel injected. She runs great. Love those Sportster. Thank you for your Sub. Ride Safe and have a great day.
@@TwoWheelRocco Hi, I changed the oil on my 2010 XL1200 and didn't know I needed to bleed out the drain hose. Now I got a mess. Is there a fix for this?
Happy to Help, It is not a problem, Most don't. Hd manual calls for it. Just make sure your oil level is 3/4 on the oil stick. Idle for 2 minuets. And your go to go. Thank you for your Sub Rod. Ride Safe and have a great day. Hope this is what you were talking about.
Thanks, Rocco!
Happy to help. Any questions just ask. Thank you for watching all your support Chaz. Ride safe and have a great day.
could you please show how to remove the oil tank cover on a 2005 1200 sportster, thank you.
Happy to help. I will send a video. Thank you for watching and you sub Ray. ruclips.net/video/s3490n6neBw/видео.html. Let us know how this works out.
Hey Rocco, is that plug supposed to go up and down in the bike? Or it only supposed to wiggle back and forth?
Happy to help. Now there's a lot of movement and if you look close, I don't know the year that you have, There is a clip to the bottom of the frame. Thank you for watching all your support. Doc realm rider. Ride safe and have a great day.
I wish I saw your video 4 years ago when after the winter all of my oil leaked out. The Harley Dealer said it was my shifter cable, replaced that and all of the oil leaked out again within 5 days. I told them that I thought it was my drain plug. The problem still isn't resolved
Happy to help. Any questions just ask. Do you figure out the leak? Thank you for watching and your sub. Brenmangood.. Ride safe and have a great day.
Hey man, i just saw your video and i think it will be helpfull. I discovered that my bike was leaking transmission oil, couple days after changing the handlebars. It was strange to me since gasket set was replaced few weeks ago. Do you think that this leak is due to the handlebar replacement? The leak comes from the bottom seal of the primary case, under the shifter. It only leaks when running, I hope this isn’t a major issue. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks for the video!!!
I'm happy to help. What year what model and is it mid controls? Thank you for watching and your sub Tomas. And the handlebars have nothing to do with that oil leak. Ride safe have a great day.
Thanks dude I'm leaking from my air filter cover I heard it something called the sporty drip but I don't want no sporty drip and then leak when I got it what do id?
Too much oil in the motor. Check your dipstick and make sure it's only halfway full. When you run your hand under your air filter you should have no oil on your fingers. The biggest problem with Sportster's too much oil in the bike. try it let us know how this works out, think halfway on the dipstick. Thank you for watching. clean plugs clean air filter and remove oil from tag halfway and she will run like new.
Thank you I was just wondering is there is an other between the engine and the starter? Because when I’m driving the oil cumingout on exhaust a lot. Please can you show me or sent some information about it. Sign ( Tony) thank you.
Hope this helps, Take a look at this video. ruclips.net/video/8rTII4Eg1Nw/видео.html. We will start here, Let us know how this works out. Thank you for your Sub. Ride Safe and have a great day.
what causes a leak from the primary cover stud? leaking primary fluid from the chain adjustment nut
Happy to Help, first, you got to be sure where the oil is leaking from. It is an easy fix.. Take a look at this video. ruclips.net/video/uOOApLXdKIE/видео.html. Let us know how it works out. Thank you for watching and your sub J. Ride safe and have a great day
Oil leaks are a little tricky that nut is the lowest point. Take a look at the video we have to find out where the oil leak starts. . Let us know how this works out J. Ride Safe and have a great day.
Thanks for the reply. I do know where the leak is coming from...the stud / nut that tightens the chain (you pointed to it at 4:35 and 4:45), does the entire cover have to come off to fix this leak? and a little from the clutch cable at the lowest point which you explained in this video ruclips.net/video/POf9NMqC1qY/видео.html
Easy fix !
Happy to help. Thank you for watching and all your support George. Ride safe and have a great day. And I hope it's an easy fix.
Nice...

Can you do a video on how to replace the oil pressure switch
Happy to Help. What is yours doing or not doing. Ride Safe and have a Great Day.
@@TwoWheelRocco it is leaking oil from the bottom where the wire attaches not where it threads in, mostly leaks on start up but I’m noticing a lot of oil on the bottom of the bike. The oil light still turns off shortly after start thoughts. Thanks
@@chriswickham6377 what year Bike and Miles? Take a close look at that oil plug and hose. I have seen hairline cracks in the elbow of the hose and oil runs down. Let us know how it works out.
Hi Rocco, on my 05’ 883 XL Custom, discovered oil on top of my oil tank and all over the fuse block from a leaky oil vent hose at the back of the oil tank, right in front of the rear wheel. There’s an inspection opening in the plastic fender/mud guard in front of the rear wheel that I can see through and I noticed the pinch clamp on the vent hose is loose. Not sure why it’s spitting oil out of that vent hose. Oil level is normal at hot. If I could remove the mud guard I could get a hose clamp on that line and tighten it down but the mud guard is riveted onto the rear fender. Any suggestions on getting access to the back of the oil tank to that vent hose connection?
Thanks,
Happy to help. I would take a look at the oil level, Sportster do not like to be past the halfway mark on that dip stick when warmed up. That top line is trouble your air filter will getl oily. if you run your finger under the your air filter cover and you have oil on them you have to much oil. . Let us know how it works out. Thank you for watching and your sub Ryan. Ride safe and have a great day.
@@TwoWheelRocco I did have oil in my air filter, thanks. Appreciate your help.
@@Shneablay remove extra oil clean filter. clean spark plugs and she'll be as good as new. no more than halfway on the dipstick when Warm. let us know how it works out.

Hey rocco I have 1994 sportster with the rubber oil drain hose, how would I fix that kind of leak? Ive tried tightening the clamps already
Happy to help. I would replace the hose with the replacement part from the dealer. It's shaped a certain way under $20. Thank you for watching and your sub Fernando. Let us know how it works out. Ride safe and have a great day.
Hey Rocco
Do you have video of how to replace the lines on a 95 883? I bought a factory manuel, absolutely no help what so ever. Thank.
What's the breather pipe under the seat of a 1999 harley Davidson sportster 883 for ?
Happy to Help, If you could take a picture and send it to erocco3964@gmail.com. sounds like you're talking about your vent tube from the right side back of your gas tank. Thank you for watching and your sub David. Ride safe and have a great day.
