Do NOT neglect this on your Harley Davidson!

- First off, I’m sorry about the format. I made this for my Instagram(pearl_glide) followers, but I wanted to also share here.
In this video I will be replacing my fuel filter. I noticed my fuel pump was making a lot of noise. HD said nothing was wrong and didn’t not find the solution. Once it became really bad I did some looking and figured I’d try the filter first. Glad I did.
HD claims this fuel filter is good for 100k miles. I only run 91 or higher and only have 30k miles. This thing was dirty and causing my pump to work overtime.
Yes, I have ran it pretty dry on some of our desert runs where we didn’t have any gas stations.
I would suggest changing this every 25-30k miles. Its only $15-$30 bucks and simpler to replace.
I like the way you made your video, straight to the point.
Any time you do maintenance that requires you to purge the fuel line, cycle the fuel pump/kill switch a few times before you start it. That will get the air out of the fuel line and it won’t die on you.
Man I wish I knew that. Scared me at first.
Interesting. Last year in September I had that exact same sound. Thought it was the fuel pump just like you. Harley had it for over a day and they claimed that they did not hear anything. The sound did go away on its own. I will have to get my fuel filter replaced. Thanks
Yeah mine went away for awhile too. Came back when we didn’t another long trip. I don’t think Harley even thinks bout the filter. I was told nothing wrong 2 times. When I mentioned fuel pump, They told me it would cost of $500 or so to replace. It was super simple and 20 bucks to replace filter on my own.
Good video, straightforward not a lot of usless chirping like so many others
Thank you.
This video popped up in “suggested” and your title caught my attention. Man I got 33k and heading out for a 7k trip in July. Definitely doing this filter swap before I leave out. Thanks for the info
For sure man. I mean it’s so simple idk why Harley doesn’t just add it to the 30k service.
@@getlarsonlost possibly to get you in store for some labor rate “search” fees. I ordered 2 after I watch your video 🤙🏼
I don't have all of that mess on mine. Mine has an Evo. Keep the oil level correct and run it a few million miles. I could rebuild the engine and carb on the side of the road with the toolkit if I absolutely had to. I don't want fuel-injection on anything I'm not racing. I prefer the reliability of the mechanical systems. Good luck with that shiny, new Harley!
Just keep oil level correct and you get a few million miles on your evo huh?
You can
Rebuild the engine on the side of the highway Huh?
I’d love to see that.
I think your dreaming
@@jayonez137 It's been done. Mine is a 91 and has zero issues at 150k. Remember, I don't need anything special to work on this bike. No diagnostic software. No specialized tools. Nothing. Don't believe me? Study Harley's past, the deal they made with the US government, and how the Evo saved them.
@@GuretoSefirosu
Lol
I’ve been riding for 40+ years.
At one time I’ve owned almost every motor HD made.
Including the slow EVO.
Believe me, I know they’re easy to work on, and it probably has been done but you’re not rebuilding your motor on the side of the highway so stop with that already. We all know that’s exactly what every Evo owner says. And yes, they are much easier to work on then the twin cam or the M8. I agree with you there.
My 14’ 103 twin cam SG has over 100K without 1 hiccup.
My 117 M8 SG ST probably won’t do as many miles as my 103 without an issue.
I guess time will tell.
Heat is the major killer of these motors. I solved that problem on my 14’ with an oil cooler relocation, and a set of Love jug mighty mites and adding more fuel to the tune on my Power Vision.
Also your sacred EVO will never do 1,000,000 miles
@@jayonez137 Sounds like you're just talking out of ignorance. See, HD was dying because the Japanese bikes were smoking American bikes in reliability. The Japanese killed every American manufacturer except for HD and HD was dying. Part of the agreement with the government to save HD was that they had to build a reliable motor that could be worked on by the common man with common tools.
Yes, I have seen an engine rebuilt at a rest-stop. Not completely from the ground up, but the top end was off. Guy got it going and rode off. It can and has been done. Have fun when any one of seven critical components on a fuel-injection system fail and you call a roll-back. I mean, unless you carry a laptop with diagnostic software, custom tools, and replacement electronics with you. Not saying the bikes don't look good, but I don't need a rolling computer if I'm not at the track.
@@GuretoSefirosu Show me the last sentence of your first paragraph .. I been at Harleys for 52 years now , one panhead , four shovelheads , two EVO's and two TC's .. The EVO was about seven years in the making , design was started around 1977 as I recall from my late friend who owned the HD dealership here .. My two EVOs , 1984 Tour Glide and 1988 Tour Glide together I amassed over 500,000 miles , they were reliable but not "THAT" reliable .. My 1977 Shovel was more reliable in many ways ..
The TC is light years ahead of the EVO , fuel injection is not unreliable . I'm pushing 85000 with this 2011 RGU and the cases have never been cracked open , nor the heads pulled .
The only issue I had was a bad VR , and about a year later a bad stator , replaced with after market system and all is well ..
Wow! Never heard of this before, or even thought about it. This is something that should probably be done every 10-20K just because of the small size of the filter. Not to mention the peace of mind. This is exactly the kind of information we as a community need to know . Thanks for putting this out here. Great info. Ordering me one today. 20k on my bike. I’m not waiting to have an issue. And I’m sure somebody at the MOCO is not happy with this video. Thanks BRO!
For sure man. I’m glad I can help others out.
Keep in mind the screws you need to buy are expensive & you need the gasket & filter but they are pretty cheap
It's probably something that is missed all the time by motorcy owners. I think that will save a lot of problems in the future, possibly a burnt up fuel pump. Or other issues with any motorcycle with 30 thousand miles. Nice video. Ride safe.
Oh yeah. I’m glad it worked out for me.
Glad you got it sorted out. I just came across your channel in my feed actually. I'm happy to support your efforts and those of other fellow moto content creators. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from you in the future ; keep up the great work and ride safe out there.
Thanks man.
Thanks for the vid. Amazing how something simple can cause other issues.
No kidding. I’m glad it was an easy fix.
Good vid, my evo has less than 3k, and I hear this only when I let it sit for long periods.. Ride safe bro..
Thanks man
Same for my 07 1200, sit a long time and it makes this sound on first start. Then it doesn't do it again until i don't start it for awhile.
Next time please use a brass punch to eliminate the possibility of a spark.
Haha yeah I guess that would made an interesting video if it sparked.
Nice @motorcycle missions hat. 👍
Good to know, thanks for the info.
Hey! I'm a poet and I didn't even realize it!
Beautiful. Great video; thank you for the great information
Of course
Very nice video. Short and sweet. 👍🏻
Great instruction video !
good video I just changed mine and it made a big difference I think this filter is neglected quite often
Yeah I mean HD never talked about it. Even when I brought it it for the sound.
@Get Larson Lost I have never heard a dealership talk about it but I looked and it was mentioned in my service manual
Add fuel injection cleaner every few tanks it’ll help keep filter and everything else
My gravity powered fuel pump never has issues.
There is a strainer on the very bottom of the fuel pump assembly and mine had deteriorated so bad that you could barely make out that there were pleats in the filter, it was due to the original owner letting it sit for 2 to 3 years and not riding it
My electric fuel pump started to sound like a coffee grinder. It was time to empty out the tank. Inside were all sorts of colored bits. Must have come from many different gas stations.
Yeah can’t trust the stations. I was just surprised how bad it was after 30k.
Cool man! HD had to order the filter for mine yesterday.
Right on
HD reliability has decreased significantly now that almost 95% of parts are Chinese or Indian made. Assembly work is at the moment still taking place in the US, but seemingly that is likely to cease in the next couple of years.
I got one the last of the Keihin carbed FLHRs. I've ridden FI HD's, not impressed in the slightest. Is there any other way HD could remove any more of the personality of their motorcycles?
changed mine last year at 80,000 , looked almost new , you apparently are getting some nasty trashy gas ..
I’m guessing so. California gas does have a lot of additives, could be that. I only run 91 or higher and usually Chevron gas.
No problem for me I have a carburetor
I had the same sound and problem at 21k miles. Dlr wanted to replace entire fuel pump but the filter did it.
Yup, same to me. And they estimated $400 or so in labor.
Im curious to know how many HD owners of 3-4 yr old bikes (2017-2020) have had fuel line to the tank bottom side failures at the china made QD coupler?? In my case I believe it was prior owners use of alchohol based fuels that dried-cracked the rubber and line end female tip o-ring....??
I never had the gravity pump go out on my carburetor
Bro, you changed the fine filter. I advise you to change the coarse filter too.
Thank you for showing this.
For sure
Thanks for taking the time to record this. What year is your bike? I have 30k on my 2019 cvo but dont know for sure if the 2019 is the same. Does anyone know?
I would imagine not much changed from 18-19
Kick ass video .. I hit sub button👍
Thanks man
Thank you for the info,👍✨️
You may want to change where you git gas. Or run pure gas..Cin-Cin and Salute. Have a blessed day..
Chevron. Haha maybe it’s the California gas. Having been in other states, I know the gas is better out of Cali.
good deal . really dirty gas you been running LOL .
All I can guess is it’s the additives in California gas. I only run 91.
@@getlarsonlost yep I seen alot fuel filter most go yellow but that was black I need get my change not having problems but after 62k probably time. Couple places around I can get pure 93 no Ethanol bike just run so much better
Good Info.
Thanks
Nice job
What levers are those, please?
Cross thread short levers. I have a video on them too
Which handlebars are those? They rock!
Those are my 12” La Chopper Thresher bars
Larson your that far put the pump rite lol. Peace ✌️
Shoot. Haha it was another 200 for the pump. I wanted to save some cash. Maybe when I do the filter again at 60k I’ll replace it.
I read so many of these comments, it saddens me that we have a Nation full of cowards who would willingly stand by and let people steal their belongings or a neighbor’s belongings….. grown men on here talking about hiding and not confronting those thieves, it’s sickening that most of our true badass men have died off from old age!!
🙄 what?
Do u have video showing those bars
Um not really a in depth video. They are my 12” La chopper thresher bars
Gd job thx new sub
What bike are you working on
2018 Roadglide special
Lang tools...no slip and scratch
What levers are you running 🔥
Cross thread short levers. I have another video on them as well.
Hello. What handlebars are those? Thx
Those are my 12” La Chopper thresher bars
@@getlarsonlost thank you
Cover the paint so the gas doesn't mess it up
There's no fuel pump in tank
NO BRIANNER
This is basic maintenance in my opinion. By the way, looks like your air filter needs cleaning too.
Yeah haha she’s dirty. Just did a 1800 mile trip. Got new one ready to go on.
I would never open the fuel tank without the intention of replacing everything in there.
So much fuel in your tank. Yikes.
quit buying your gas at wall mart
If you gonna film these types of videos, turn the phone sideways to get a better, wider, shot…
Yeah I made this for my Instagram. But I had a lot of good feedback there so brought it over to RUclips. Sorry bout that.
The best way not to neglect your HD, is not to buy this overpriced hunk of junk in the first place! 😂
friggin hi dollar junk....what in the hell has happened to Harley
Ding bats it’s the washers😳
What seat and back rest is that?
Corbin seat oval back rest.
