  • How To Harley Davidson Sportster Fork Oil Change. This video will show you how to change your Sportster Fork oil. I am doing this on my 2005 XL1200 Sportster. Using 15WT fork oil. This will improve your motorcycles handling, Stock is 10WT oil. This will work on most motorcycles. Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha and Suzuki Cruisers.
    Fork Oil, 15W 10.5 oz for each tube
    If you have any question just ask. Ride Safe and have a great day.

    When I changed my fork oil in my new-to-me 2005 Sportster, it had a total of 10K miles on it but because the bike was 15 years old I decided to change it along with all of the other fluids. I'm glad I did. Thankfully, 10 oz. came out of each side but the bad news is that the fluid was black, as thin as water and stunk like skunk oil. The difference in the ride afterwards was amazing. The forks had been bottoming out over big bumps but not after the fluid change. Evidently, time is also a factor in the degrading of the oil. I plan to change mine every 10K miles from now on. Wonderful video!

    Just got everything together to change my fork oil in my 2002 xl 1200. Thank you for sharing this information. I bought a neglected sportster last year and have been enjoying getting the bike back to being roadworthy. Your videos help tremendously!

    Good job Rocco. I did it this exact same way in around 2005 and posted it on the xlforum. Still have my 04 sporty and change the fork oil every few years. I've got one of those low profile sockets made for this job. Back then it cost about the same as the correct size regular socket and fits better. Love all your vids, clear and concise. ✌️😎✌️ Xena from the XLF.

    Great work brother. Your videos relax me.. you have a great old school, simple and straightforward way about you.. I wish I could go back to the 60's even though I'm from the 70's, all those cool cars and bikes and much simpler times. You help me feel like I'm there, thanks for sharing 👍
