Another great how to Rocco. Had a guy explain when you take the battery that's a negative, and when you replace a battery its a positive. So, disconnect negative first when removing, and connect positive first when replacing. You can't go wrong.
Happy to help. I like that explanation. Thank you for watching and all your support Dr. proper. Ride safe and have a great day
Love Your Videos. Just purchased a 2001 Road King. Picking it up today, it does not have a pigtail for battery charger, First thing I'm going to do. When the battery goes, I'm going to try one of those. Thanks for all the great info.
Happy to help. I love my Road King. I think they have great motorcycles. Any questions just ask. Good luck with the new ride. Thank you for watching. And all your support Larry. Ride safe and have a great day. That is a great idea with that battery tender. Makes it easy to charge the battery when you leave the light on or anything foolish like that.
Good simple explanation on testing/changing your battery. If I get 4 years out of my Bike or Truck battery I'm happy.
Tech tip: I installed a long flat strap around my battery, so I have the two ends to hold while I lift the battery out, or ease the battery in place.
I lay the strap over and leave it there, no need to remove it.
Happy to help. Any questions just ask. Thank you for your tip and all your support ardyrides.. Ride safe and have a great day.

Hey Rocco want to say again thanks for all the help and replying to my questions well i told you everything i did to it so today i got the old carburetor back out it is a original harley carburetor went through it with a fine tooth comb ended up finding a broken small o ring and loose washer i put everything stock back in it and ended up with a forty five pilot and one seventy main i do know that putting that pickup module in helped a lot too but after replacing the o ring and washer and another cleaning she runs like-new except the battery seems to be about dead now maybe cause been sitting awhile while i worked on it but wanted to say thanks again. I always worked on my own cars but not bikes so your videos helped me a lot that one little o ring and washer did the trick i figure it was getting way to much air with that o ring busted it was the one on the end of the tube you know which one i am sure thanks again for all
Happy all worked out. Thank you for all your support and kind words. Ride safe and have a great day Bryan.
@TwoWheelRocco you got it man i tell everybody to check your channel out great videos and awesome knowledge thanks again for all
@@bryan2122 my pleasure thank you for all your support and kind words. Ride safe and have a great day.
I love your channel. It helped me feel comfortable with doing a few things on my vtx1300. Can i please recommend/ask you produce a video on tires. Specifically on making the judgement call of changinging the tires, not only for ware but for age. I believe theres a way to tell the production date on the sidewall. My bike is gone now, and i was lucky with only a cast on my arm, but the doctors etc were very surprised i git out of it so well off. The pop sound sounded similar to when my '98 triumph trophy engine blew, but it was much worse, ive never rode a bull but it must have been something like what i experienced but travelling around 90km/hr, slowed down from 115
Happy to help. Thank God it wasn't worse. Thank you for watching and all your support chefandy. Get well soon. I will put that video on my list to make. Ride safe and have a great day.
I had a 93 FLH .. in those little spacers in their melted when I went to start it when it was really cold.. I'm sure was pulling a lot of ants because it was below freezing.. but the roads are clear and I was ready to ride..
Happy to help, Thank you for watching and all your support Moe Larry1. Ride safe and have a great day.
That looks like a really good battery Rocco. Do you use any die-electric grease on the terminals when you screw in the cables?
Happy to help, no, I did not use any kind of elec.grease on the terminals. Thank you for watching and all your support Bobuhlman. Ride safe and have a great day.
I love the road king too man, favoriite harley. I had the 03 anniversary cvo centennial gold with the claw marks. Unfortunately had to sell it for financial reasons. Now i have an 04 king classic that i put solid wheels on and bassani exhaust. I do need a battery the one thats in there is 5 years old actually. Id love to tey this ligh ing start battery. I been getting prices around here 180-220$, thats crazy. Id really appreciate it, thanks man, love the channel.
Happy to help. I love the lightning start batteries for the Kings there's 600 crank gams, but three years is about the most to get out of them. And yes Road Kings are the best ride out there. Have a happy holidays. Ride safe and have a great day Michael.
@TwoWheelRocco thanks man, happy holidays to you as well. I seen the website that has the lightning start batteries, I'll be getting one this spring.
I think they're a great value. Ride safe and have a great day.@@michaelmitchell5909
Nice job but my 2014 King is just a little different not by much just the controller panel sits on top of my battery other then setting it to the side it’s just like the older bikes when u look at the battery how it sits I install Harley batteries in my bike and I get six years of life out of mine I change my battery in 2014 in 2020 but I will be honest I got a little lazy on taking care of my second battery I think I am only going to get 5 years maybe it could be some extras I have added. One thing you are a 100% right the King is something else I love my King all my buddies say u look so relaxed on that bike, take care and ride alert and safe
Happy to help. Thank you for watching and all your support Ed. You are so right. I love my Road King too. A great ride. My little shopper. With the bags you can't go wrong. Ride safe and have a great day.
Great info as usual and thanks for saving us doe-ray-me
My pleasure my good friend. when are you getting back into the neighborhood? It's hot over here. It's very nice by you. Thanks for watching.
Hey glad to see you're doing well my friend. Are you getting out on your boat to cool off? We're going to Quartzite AZ for the winter after we leave here in mid October. I want to get back for a visit next spring or summer to purchase some land for a home base but for now traveling is great. Stay healthy and ride safe.
@@daniellshine7971 sounds like you're having lots of fun. And yes it is hot. See you then.
Great video &info I have a2001 road king and lately it won’t start unless I jump it right to battery I’ll drive around fof a few hrs no problem shut it off and again will not start unless I jump it straight to battery ( won’t start if I jump to starter has to connect to battery. I leave it on battery tender but it still won’t start only clicks unless I jump it even though battery tender shows green .
Happy to help. How old is your battery? That's where I would start with a new battery. Any questions just ask. Thank you for watching all your support Rock. Ride safe and have a great day.
Yes thanks, I’m not sure I just bought it used about 5 mos ago having this issue lately getting worse won’t start unless jumped
When you buy a new bike, that's always one of the first things Battery and then Tires nobody sells a perfect bike, get a battery and you will be happy. Buy a good battery. I recommend going to Harly Davidson and getting one of there's. Today batteries are a big issue. They go bad quick. Harley at least gives you a one year warranty and they last three years China not so much..@@rockd2808
@@TwoWheelRocco thanks bro yes I put a new battery in and it started right up running great 🏍
Happy to hear all worked out. Have a great Thanksgiving. Ride safe and have a great day.@@rockd2808
Hey Rocco, your videos are super helpful! I do have a question tho. So i have a 2003 883 Sportster and since ive had it, it fire up good idles nice but if i twist the throttle quick i hear a sucking kind of noise from the intake or carb and the bike idles way down almost to a stall. I have to ease into the throttle to avoid this, and once im going its ok, kinda gut less after 60 mph tho as well. It has a SE slip ons and a k&n high flow air filter. It also has a 170 main and a 45 pilot in it and the idle screw is 2 full turns out currently. Any help would be awesome thanks!.
Happy to help. I would adjust your slide needle in your carburetor. This will change the fuel curve. Sounds like you could use a little fuel on off throttle. I will send the video. Thank you for watching and all your support Evan.Ride safe and have a great day. ruclips.net/video/G1XD0hHtwCw/видео.html. Let us know how it works out.
Thank you I'll try it!
Rocco, can you putout a video on how to replace plug wires on a road king? I have an '05 RKC. does the tank have to be removed?.
thank you for your informative videos!
Happy to help. Yes the tank has to be removed to get to the coils and then it's straightforward. Just take your time removing the tank. Any questions just ask. Thank you for watching all your support Jeff. Ride safe and have a great day. This could help, it's on a newer Road King, but I'll show you how to take the tank off and then the rest is right in front of you. Take a look, Any questions just ask. ruclips.net/video/N1xni5beKcM/видео.htmlsi=Xn6rOkgdhOVfgFgG
I just completed the plug wires replacement and your video and encouragement helped tremendously. when I get frustrated I hear your voice saying just take your time!
thanks Rocco!@@TwoWheelRocco
Happy all went well. Thank you for watching all your support Jeff rides safe and have a great day.
Im in Florida , is had a glass pack battery and found out there's no warning (like slow cranking) when its dyeing. Just cranks one time thae next done. Is the battery you use glass pack ?
Happy to help. Thank you for watching and all your support Patrick. Ride safe and have a great day. Thats the battery. www.bing.com/search?q=Lightning+Start+motorcycle+batteries&form=APMCS1&PC=APMC
Lead Acid = wet cell battery
AGM = absorbed glass mat
Gel Cell = non spillage
Lithium = requires special charger $
@@ardyrides834 Thank you for the insight.
Hi Rocco, thanks for the video.
Did you forget the rubber under the attachment of the battery ? or did YOU intentionally not use that?
Do you have to turn on the ignition before disconnecting the battery so that the alarm system is not activated?
By the way I have just such a Road King 2002 also the same lacquering !
Do you know how many were built in 2002?
Greetings from Germany
Happy to help. I think it was 1200 red and 1200 blue. I was the one who put that rubber piece in there. Yes it's slid to the side and when I was editing the video, I saw that I forgot to put that rubber piece in there. I went back outside and it was to the side. Thank you for watching and all your support. My motorcycle does not have an alarm system on it. The man I bought it from had it removed because he kept forgetting his key fob. Thank you for watching and all your support derkommentator. Ride safe and have a great day.
@@TwoWheelRocco Thank you for quick reply. Good that you still noticed with the rubber. I wish you also good and safe tours and watch your other films
@@derkommentator9847 Thank you for all your support Derkommentator. Ride safe and have a great day.
Hey Rocco the main let is one seventy that size slow let down i need and is that the one you put in from the top? Sorry to bother you
I think you're saying a 170 main jet that Has to be installed from the bottom and then you say something about slow jet that's the idle jet that's from the bottom. the top is the slide needle. Don't worry about that right now get the bike running right..
@TwoWheelRocco yes exactly it has a forty five in now from the factory if i change that to a smaller one i was thinking that may be the problem with it cause you had said that a forty five was for a twelve hundred and i think a stock one is supposed to be a thirty five for a 883 that is about the only thing left to try i guess and yeah the main is a one seventy but the other is a forty five thanks for even replying back i been working on this thing for a month trying to get that hesitation back out of it so i can ride again
42 idle. 170 main and test ride... That would be the set up for an 883. What pipe are you running? What intake?
@TwoWheelRocco stock intake i know and the pipes are just the longer ones with baffles but someone drilled out the center plug in them i bought this over the winter I'll take a picture of it and send it too you and again thanks so much
Hey Rocco I have an 05 883 sportster and it just started knocking rode it a couple days prior and had no problems knocking,ticking, loss of power or anything and I went to ride it today and struggled to start and now it’s knocking out of no where. What are your thoughts ?
Happy to help. How many miles? Thank you for watching all your support Hunter. Ride safe and have a great day. If you could make a video and send it to my email Erocco3964@gmail.com. Hard-call, without hearing it.
Sounds like a compensator nut loosened up. I would remove the primary cover and take a look. This has happened on my Road King. I will send you a video with the noise and the fix which will be the same for yours I hope. ruclips.net/video/F4BLrCn2H0k/видео.html
@@TwoWheelRocco will check that out and let you know thanks for the quick response.
