One thing I’ve learned in all my years in the hvac (heating and air conditioning) field is, no matter how complicated the equipment is and how fancy it gets NEVER overlook the simplest answers. Start simple and work out from there. Glad your enjoying the bike! I still got my iron 883! S4L baby!
The Sportster S is good but not $15,000 dollars good. I'm glad you got the issue with your bike fixed. Who knew it was sparkplug. Glad that it was the only problem. 👍👍
Tune was probably fouling up the spark plug with the extra fuel being dumped. Glad they didn’t give you any issues about the VH tuner and the warranty. It was still running with the bad spark plug because it’s got 2 plugs per cylinder. Anyway, glad to hear it.
Good deal on finding out your issue and glad it was a easy fix 👍. The Sportster S isn't designed to be entry level or classic looking. It's HD's shot at performance. At $15k it is very competitive with its competition. There are some sneak shots of what the classic looking and likely more entry level Sportster will be and we can probably expect that bike next year.
Thanks man! Yeah I figured that the sportster s was their top of the line, and it’s priced very competitively. I think the way they communicated and marketed the bike as a sportster replacement didn’t hit home with a lot of people because they see the sportster as an entry level Harley. I will say I love the fact that sportster s can go toe to toe with other brands out there, it shows that Harley is finally paying attention.
@@IronBornRider I think the reason why the Sportster S sales are currently failing is the same reason Pan America is failing. 1. They are not good looking bikes. There are better looking bikes in their class. 2. They are good bike but not as good as other bikes in their class. 3. Most HD owners/customers are old fat pot bellied men that no business on those bikes and they know it. 4. The dont have the customization the other bikes have. 5. Their sound sucks. Harleys are glorified noise makers. 6. The few people that wanted one now have one
Ha ha ha your ass is sweaty 😂 great to have you back! Yes you should do your opinion on new sportster!! So glad your low rider is all good! Soul brother
I'm always missing my turn too. Wow that's a really easy fix(once you find it). Glad you got it fixed. I had a Dyna that kept acting up and the check engine light kept coming on. You know what it was? I decided to just start looking with my eyes and touching things. The rear cylinder I pushed on the spark plug cap and it moved ever so slightly down and went "click". Yep that was all it was.
Cool man!! Glad you got that issue sorted! Easy to overlook something if it's new, but new doesn't always mean good. Oh... look.. your only 5 subs away from 1000!! Nice!!
It’s funny seeing how your riding style has changed. You are no longer throttling up to go nuts, you’ve got all the power and your holding it back now. Glad it’s sorted. I mean what else could go wrong?! 🤡😮😬😆
they went from $15k to $18K in 1 model year? msrp on mine was $17,999. there are no options for the LRS for 21. Cruise was the only 1 for 20 i think. no cruise option on 21.
@@IronBornRider ya the cruise has been on back order for a long time. HD must have planned it so they did even offer it. They just started making them again.
@@IronBornRider lol whoa that is way more skill than me. I just do IF statements and conditions to change the colour of the cell and people at work think I am an excel god.

You’re living that dream brother!
Glad to hear your bike is all good. Lesson learned for all of us, never overlook the small things.
Yeah, always check the basic things. Batter connections, secured wires, etc
Wow that's crazy! I'm happy you got it sorted out and we all learned a little something.
Yeah, hope no one has to go through the stress I had to go through lol

Thanks Dan! Yeah same.
Always go back to the basics. They will lead you in the direction you need to go. Don't over complicate things.
Wise words to live by for sure
What an exciting trip, the c=view is beautiful my friend. watch here for support.... 👍

Yeah you might be right. I was worried that they would tell me the Fuelpak voided the warranty but they did me a solid. Thanks for watching!
I would change all four plugs for sure.

I appreciate that Greg! Yeah, I'm gonna start inspecting my bike more often and try to get to know the bike a little more.
Glad to hear you got that sorted.

Lol. I ask myself that every time I get on the bike
Wow…. A spark plug?!?!?! Who’d thought! I changed the plugs on my new old bike and it’s amazing the difference it makes.
extra sparky!

I was talking about the sportster s price being $15k. Lrs price hasn’t changed. There’s no cruise control option for the ‘21 model?!
@@IronBornRider ya the cruise has been on back order for a long time. HD must have planned it so they did even offer it. They just started making them again.
Thanks for posting. Would you buy the FP3/FP4 again?
It came with my bike, but I do plan on upgrading to a dynajet at some point
Bro so close to 1K!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate you!! You’re pacing well too!
@@IronBornRider appreciate it Fam. So backed up on drops but I’ll get I’m out. 🤷🏽♂️🤙🏾
wow all that run around to settle on a simple fix! Good job on the harley mechanic!
I wish I was more mechanically inclined to be able to connect symptoms to issue. Live and learn I suppose!
@@IronBornRider it's okay - we got skills in MS Excel...
@@KSMotoCafe pivot tables anyone? Or I can concatenate like no ones business lol

Thank goodness for the warranty. How crazy tho.
I know right?
Thank GOD your bike is good...💯💪🏼🙌🏼🙏🏻
Thanks brother!
Great share Fam. 1k in a day or two. 👊🏾

@@IronBornRider slowly but surely man we as a community are growing. Pretty cool to see. 🤙🏾🔥
Who's fairing is that?
Memphis shades
Just subbed.. look forward to more!! Thinking of changing the rear shock. Any suggestions anyone?
Thanks mike! I haven’t done any research on the rear shock but would be curious what you end up with
Lol spark plugs! Glad it’s fixed
Aaayyyy look who’s on YT!!!
