Replacing the inner primary seal is a major job. You must remove all the primary drive components such as the primary chain and the clutch assembly. Then the exhaust system so you can get to the starter to remove it. Then you must remove the inner primary itself from the engne and the transmission. The seal is on the backside of the inner primary. If you replace the seal, remember to lubricate the lips of the seal as well as the mainshaft before you reinstall the inner primary. If you install the seal dry, when you start the engine the mainshaft will burn up the seal in about three seconds before the oil gets to the seal. Put some oil on that seal.
Now, once you're in there, you may find that it isn't your inner primary leaking at all. It could be a transmission seal. One of the worst culprits is the Quad Seal behind the spacer that is behind the front belt pulley. You'll need some special tools to remove the pulley and replace this seal if it's leaking. It looks like a standard O-ring but it isn't. Both the compensator sprocket nut and the front pulley nut require a LOT of torque. The compensator nut takes 150-165 foot pounds and the front pulley nut takes 150 foot pounds. Also, the mainshaft nut that holds the clutch assembly on takes 60-80 foot pounds of torque LEFT-HANDED. You will need a way to lock the front pulley and the primary chain in order to apply these levels of torque to the required fasteners.
This is a complicated job. That's why Harley charges so much to do it. I would suggest that you purchase a service manual as there is far too much involved in this job for me to type it in step by step here.
Ok, you have one orange wire that come up through a tube in the tank. The orange wire that comes up through the tank, the hot wire, goes to the terminal marked "I", for ignition. The orange wire from the sending unit mounted inside the tank goes to the terminal marked "S", for sensor. Both black wires go to the terminal marked "G", for ground.
You have a lot going on inside the transmission. Hard to say what the problem is from here but whatever it is you had best get it into the shop before the banging metal makes the trannie little more than scrap metal for the recycle bin..

Replacing the kickstand on a Harley FXRT requires some disassembly and careful handling. Here are the general steps to replace the kickstand:
Preparation: Ensure you have the necessary tools, a new kickstand, and any replacement parts such as bushings or cotter pins.
Safety precautions: Place the motorcycle on a stable surface and secure it with a stand or by having someone hold it steady. Put on protective gear such as gloves and safety glasses.
Removing the cotter pin: Locate the cotter pin that holds the kickstand in place. It is usually located near the pivot point where the kickstand attaches to the frame. Use pliers or a cotter pin removal tool to remove the cotter pin.
Detaching the kickstand: Once the cotter pin is removed, carefully slide the kickstand out from its mounting bracket. You may need to gently tap it to loosen it if it's stuck. Take note of any bushings or spacers that may be present on the cotter pin side of the kickstand.
Inspecting and replacing parts: Examine the removed kickstand for any damage or wear. If there is a missing bushing or the kickstand is worn, replace it with a new one. Additionally, inspect the mounting bracket and other related parts for any signs of damage or wear. Replace any damaged or worn parts as necessary.
Installing the new kickstand: Insert the new kickstand into the mounting bracket, making sure it aligns properly. If there were bushings or spacers on the cotter pin side, ensure they are in place before inserting the kickstand. Slide it in fully, allowing it to rest in its proper position.
Securing the kickstand: Insert a new cotter pin through the designated hole on the kickstand and frame bracket. Ensure it passes through completely and securely. If necessary, bend the ends of the cotter pin to prevent it from slipping out.
Testing and adjustments: Before fully tightening any bolts, test the kickstand by lowering it and verifying that it extends and retracts smoothly. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper operation.
Final steps: Once you are satisfied with the installation and functionality of the new kickstand, reassemble any other components or parts that were removed during the process. Double-check that all fasteners are securely tightened.
It's important to consult the specific service manual or instructions for your Harley FXRT model for detailed guidance. If you are not confident in performing the replacement yourself, it's recommended to seek assistance from a professional motorcycle mechanic.

Things like Torque specs can be found on Google by searching 'year make model (the part) bolt torque.
MOTORCYCLE HARLEY PANHEAD or HONDA>? pan European.
? IS NOT A CAR.
WELL IF BATTERY IS GOOD AND STARTER IS GOOD
THE ENGINE IS SEIZED?
ON mc ENGINES WE REMOVE SIDE COVERS AND HAND TURN THE CRANK SHAFT MAKE SURE IT CAN SPIN.
SO WAS PARKED OUTSIDE OUT DOORS FROM MONTHS OF HARD RAIN,IS NEVER GOOD FOR ANY MOTORCYCLE EVER.
OR SHIFT TO 4TH GEAR (1:1 GEAR) AND PUSH Mc TO SEE IF ENGINE IS SEIZED. .
JUMPER CABLE JUMP THE MC BATTER TO A CAR BATTERY.?
CHARGE YOUR BATTERY FOR 4 HOURS OFF A 10AMP CHARGER? LETTING LEAD/ACID BATTERY JUST SIT ASKS FOR Sulfation DAMAGE occurs when a battery is deprived of a full charge, I KEPT ALL MY MC (HAD 5 OR MORE) ON FLOAT CHARGE AND NEVER DID THEY FAIL. FULL TIME PARKED UNUSED.
FUSES GOOD
BATTERY GOOD
STARTER RELAY GOOD
STARTER GOOD
ENGINE NOT SIEZED.
ALSO MANY MOTORCYCLES: this era up.
ALL HAVE NEUTRAL SWITCH STARTER CUT OUT.
SOME HAVE KICK STAND CUT OUT.
SOME HAVE HANDLE BAR DEAD MAN SWITCH LEVERS SET WRONG,
OR CLUTCH SWITCH SAME. CUT OUT.
OR BAD KEY SWITCH OR ANY WIRE TO ANY IF THE ABOVE BAD.
my huge BMW had all that, even in 1977
OR DID YOU MEAN
Honda ST 1100 Pan European????????
IS IT SO HARD TO SAY MAKERS NAME FIRST?
And not put the ST on the wrong end,if true?
but but but !
but is same answer, all motors have the same things , for cranking, (well not my nasty Yamaha' Vargo of old)
starter cutouts on MC are vast, vary by year.
and free manuals for me to read to you never free
pan head or pan European, I fail.
buy the service manual if serious DYI.
see all cutouts and test them all if engine not seized.
use a voltmeter tool , gue$$ing is no fun.
