Harley Davidson Maintenance - Lesson 1 'The Service'
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- In this SPECIAL the Flogs once again head down to Geelong Harley Davidson to meet up with everyone's favourite 'Mechanic' Col to see what is actually involved in a 'Regular Maintenance Service.'
Whitey puts his 2012 Harley Fatboy up on the lift and has to explain why it hasn't seen the inside of a service department for way too long.
In his inimitable way Col walks us all the way through a full service. He describes what a professional looks for and we discuss why it is a smart move for most people to pay a professional, at least occasionally, to service their motorcycle.
(Yes, we know YOU are a Master Mechanic, but not everyone is, so don't bother criticizing anyone who does utilise their dealer thanks!)
Although this is performed on a Harley Davidson Fatboy the procedure is similar on all bikes, no matter what brand.
And to add to the value of this video, if you live within riding distance of Geelong Highway there is a massive deal for your next service at the end of the video.
So, once again settle in and enjoy this Special edition of 'Australia's Biker Show, Hogs, Cogs and Two Aussie Flogs.

really enjoy the vlogs with Colin
Hey thanks for watching. Plenty more chance to see Col and all the team from GHD in future. We look forward to his ‘Col’isms’ every time we head to GHD.
Always feel part of family when you arrive.
And that’s why we love independent stores ( especially GHD) Dean. You walking through the door is appreciated, unlike at the corporates where We often feel we are imposing. Many of them could learn a lot from GHD.
an audience with Col is very entertaining great show vlogs
Cheers Doorman. We may have to give Col the flick, he’s more popular than Paul….not me, Paul, but you can’t be too careful. 😂
Love Coles sense of humour. Great service / vid guys, well done!
Glad you enjoyed it Aaron. 👍🏻
Great show. Geelong Harley service my bike, great service and people.
They are a great team Dean. Nice to walk into somewhere where the staff are happy and enjoying their jobs.
I wish my dealership would work as thoroughly as Col and the team at Geelong HD do. That Col lets us in on the service and explains the details is priceless! Thank you, guys. Great presentation.
100% Col is great and a wealth of knowledge. We are wrapped to have him working with us. He will be back very soon with more maintenance tips and secrets. Thanks for your support we genuinely appreciate it. 👍
If col was any drier he'd need a chapstick for his lips but he is honest, bless him
That’s a fact 😂
THANKYOU Team Flogs, my Legends Suspension cap & sticker kit arrived ♥️💛
May all your days be Harley days
Safe travels 🙏♥️💛🐾🐾🇦🇺
Cheers Tex , enjoy!
Great video guys, Col is an absolute gem - there wouldn't be many of his calibre left, genuine , passionate and a wealth of knowledge.
Get a tyre on the back of that fatboy whitey lol.
Keep up the great work boys, absolutely love watching your vids.
👊😎👊
Yes a new tyre will go on very soon but time became an issue that day. There will be heaps more specials with Col coming up.
Great video, great insight into a proper Harley service, nice to see Cole work his magic
Thanks, that was what we were trying to convey. Col makes it look easy but there’s definitely a lot more to a service than many understand. Thanks for watching.
love your work col, you're the last of the true blues.
Thanks for watching.👍🏻
Thank for the vid fellas , good seeing Col & for his information cheers flogs
Thanks Mick, you are clearly a man of character ( you have a Road Glide 😜) Appreciate the feedback mate. 👍
Thank you guy’s I have a 21 model ROad Glide & bought it new & love it hope to see on the road keep up the great show, oh your patch I bought is awesome cheers Mick
Hey glad you like the patch. 21 RG is a great bike (I have the 2020) Clearly you are a man of taste. LOL
Even as a non Harley rider I enjoyed this. Only problem is that Col makes it look so to do. If only I had his skills. Also learnt to just pull my clutch in when at lights or junction. Great video lads. Summer here in the UK but its disappearing too quickly for me.
Hey thanks for watching. I guess about 50 plus years working on bikes will do that to you. Col is definitely very skilled and great at explaining the ins and outs of what he does. We will definitely be doing more ‘Lessons’ in this series.
Thank You for telling me about this other MotoChannels of yours.
I cannot watch this entire video, as I am at work, but I will listen to as much as I can. 😀
That’s what is so good about RUclips Angel, you can catch up anytime. Thanks for watching!
Were you able to find that young Lady's Channel.? "M!LSY" She is in your city and struggling. Can you invite her to one of your MotoEvents plz.
No it seems there are many 'Milsy' channels. If you identify her channel let me know and I will reach out.
i live in the states in PA.. i do my service every 4 K miles i never go 5K without changing my oil and i use Amsoil
Hey Ryan thanks for watching. We all agree that changing oil regularly is the best insurance you can buy. Amsoil isn’t a brand we see a lot of down here, but I figure if you change it often enough the brand doesn’t matter quite as much.
@@hogscogsandtwoaussieflogs I always used Amsoil in my twin cam but switched to Red Line in M8.I buy oil from eBay as I live in country QLD. I use a specialist oil company as HD would tender for the lowest to fill it.
@@hogscogsandtwoaussieflogs One thing is I am now an Australian-made oil supporter. Penrite 20w50 Full Synthetic Racing oil with Red Line V-Twin Primary and Gear oil.
Col is a legend.
Shhhhhh, don’t tell him that he may increase his rates. 😂
I thought we'd see Danny in the background... lol
Danny is out and about in the NT last time we checked, we hope to catch up again with him sometime in the near future. Thanks for watching.
I always adjust my clutch at a service and if you don't know how you shouldn't be changing the oil either. I use synthetic gearbox and primary oil, not 20w50 motor oil.
I’ll be honest Jimmy, I’ve always changed my own oil and never adjusted the clutch, which now seems ridiculous because it isn’t that hard and you already have the Derby cover off so access isn’t an issue. Because it appears so easy to incorporate it will now be part of every oil change. Hey, thanks for watching, we appreciate it.
Right on Cole this is really good
Thanks Albert, we will pass on your kind words of support. GHD are now Official Sponsors of the show so you will be seeing heaps more of Col in coming months.
Forgetting to put the stand down ain’t as bad as trying to look cool and coming to a stop at a red light and forgetting to put your feet down and tipping over 😂😂all for trying to look cool 😂😂that was an old Bro of mine, lil bit of beer in him, was a classic fuckup !
P.I.P to the Brother trying to look cool. I’ve had a bolt snap on the stand while kicking it over but saved it well fucked my foot up a bit but was only worried if I had put a ding or two and any scratches but yeah Bro, I know that feeling oh so well ✌️😎👍…
Subbing in from
New Zealand 🇳🇿
We’ve all done similar. It’s bound to happen eventually. Love that we are getting subs from New Zealand, as you know we are big fans of NZ. Thanks for watching. 👍

Mate it would be nice if you stood back a bit or used a camera with a wider lens to actually see whats been done - thanks for the vid
Funny last week we were criticised for not getting close enough. Dude we are just two blokes with GoPros giving it our best shot, we won’t always get the best shot, but all we can do is our best.
Damn good video.
Cheers Andrew, appreciate the feedback mate. 👍🏻
nice ep guys 👍
Cheers, thanks for watching.
Colin should be Knighted by Willie G and have his own TV show
Gee don’t tell him that, we told him we would make him a star 😂 but we want him to stay part of the Hogs, Cogs Team for a lot longer yet! 👍
Cracking episode gents
Thanks, we really appreciate the feedback.
Good stuff 👍
Cheers, thanks for watching
Fuck i love Colin, legit dude all the way!!
“That would be in a platonic way I’m guessing!” 😂 ( Not that there’s anything wrong with ……….. )
Yeh Col’s a legend, we are very happy to have him on the Flogs Team. Subscribers will soon get special access to the content we do with him. Another bonus to hitting that Subscribe Button. Thanks for watching.
@@hogscogsandtwoaussieflogs great video lads! Keep up the good work & if you're ever in Bendigo pop in to the shop cheers!!
Cheers, we will defiantly drop in next time we are in town. Appreciate the invite.
Cheers
Bloody entertaining👍
Cheers Sydenee….. appreciate the feedback mate.👌🏼
Colls the bloody best
100% Thanks for watching. Stick around he will be on the channel a lot more in coming months.
💯
Decka 30A battery should be ok since they make HD batteries
Cols not a fan of Non OEM batteries because he feels they tend to shit themselves after a year or two. I’m happy with mine. Only time will tell. But God help me if it dies anytime soon, he won’t let me forget it. 😂
@@hogscogsandtwoaussieflogs Have done harley work for 40 years Nothing compares with OEM batteries
Lucas 20/50, 75/140,and lucas primary fluid....
It’s the age old argument isn’t it. What type of oil? When should I change it? My theory is as long as you use a good known brand and change it often you really can’t go wrong. Hey thanks for watching. Lots more to come so don’t forget to hit that subscribe button 👍
Yes, HD would tender for the oil needed and buy from the lowest, not the best. I always used Aimsil but switched to Red Line V-Twin Primary & Gear Oil off eBay. Since I am Australian I now use Penrite 20w50 Racing oil in the engine. I try to support Australian-made. HD is now supplying synthetic gearbox oil finally.
@@hogscogsandtwoaussieflogs 100% correct and be consitent with what u use
So here in the States my Stealership charges $150 an hour 😵💫$600 for 4 hours say not including tax . I run AMSOIL 20/50 in the motor and dedicated AMSOIL for the primary and the transmission. Now im not a mechanic but i can do most of it . For the product it would cost around $120 and my time per Harley.This is on a 14 Streetglide and a 05 Deuce . I even have a little Honda CTX 700. I service the lot. I relize not everyone has the knowledge or confidence to do services . But if i didn't i wouldn't be able to afford to run my bikes . If i need any help i know an independent that has better knowledge then me on things like spokes on the Deuce for example. To each his own but my bikes haven't seen the insides of a Stealership for like ever and thank God they run just fine .Id never run that Syn 3 💩here in the States. Its way too hot and i Research oils because what does Harley really know about motor oils ? 🤔They build bikes and probably buy the cheapest in bulk and stick their name on the bottle . When the bikes still under warranty then most use it , but as soon as that expires then everyone i know switches out to a more premium oil .🇬🇧🇺🇸🤙😎🇦🇺q
Hey William, mate good to work on your own bike but there are times we have to hand them over to the experts. We think it was good to show that there is more to a service than simply changing oils.
Speaking of oils we ain’t going to open that can of worms 😂
Thanks for watching my friend, we appreciate you taking the time to comment and share your experiences. 👍
Moisture in your brake fluid equals corrosion too, bad news
Worse news is Col finding it in front of Paul. I’ll never hear the end of it. 😂
And how much is it for a service
How long is a piece of string. Again it depends on what bike, which service (kms) you are doing and if you need extra like air filter replacement etc. There are some variables. BUT they do have $100 off for viewers of HC&2AFs if you book in anytime this month. Give them a call for a quote.
👍👍
I dont have the service manual can you send the check list please
Rob, each service covers different things depending on the model and the kilometre milestone. We don’t have copies mate but if you find one let me know. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
What's a flog supposed to mean?
A flog is Aussie slang for someone who is a bit of a fool or a clown
