relieve the pressure on it by loosening the nut below the handle on the cable, (use a back up wrench) that will allow the cable to be removed from the keeper on the engine side

SOURCE: need information on the changing of engine,

Drain the oil tank by taking the hose loose that plugs onto the frame on the left side of the bike right behind the engine down low. Look underneath the engine and you see a small plug that screws into the primary cover from the bottom. This plug uses a Torx wrench to remove it.

Change the oil filter. This is a messy job as oil pours out of the filter as you unscrew it from the engine. Install the new filter and tighten. Add three quarts of oil to the oil tank of the engine and one quart of primary/transmission oil to the primary. The primary and transmission are lubricated by the same oil. I think the later model bikes came with Syn3 oil in both places.

SOURCE: need information on the changing of engine,

Your looking at 2.8qts for the engine add another 1/2 quart or so for the filter. Always put a little oil in and then add till full. Use the amounts identified as a guide to how much oil to have on hand. You primary may use 22 - 28 ounces, and your tranny a little less than a quart. so have at least 5 quarts available for a complete fluid change (and filter) and you should be good to go! Hope this helps.

SOURCE: remove primary cover 1990 sportster

To remove your primary cover, first, disconnect the battery and drain the oil from the primary. Then, remove any footpegs or shifter mechanisms that might be in the way.

Look on the bottom of the primary cover and you'll see a bolt and locknut. This is the primary chain tensioning device. Loosen the locknut and turn the screws out (downward) to loosen the chain.

Then take the derby cover off. Remove the spring and the locknut from the clutch adjusting mechanism. Remove the bolts that hold the outer primary on. Turn the clutch adjuster screw clockwise as you remove the cover.

When you replace the cover, turn the clutch adjuster screw counterclockwise until it stops. Put all the bolts back in the cover and tighten them. Turn the screw counterclockwise again until it stops and then back off 1/4 turn. Install the locknut, the spring, and the derby cover.

Remove the upper inspection cover and reach in with your finger and check the primary chain tension. Using the bolt on the bottom of the primary, turn it upward (inward) and tension the primary chain to between 1/2" and 5/8" up and down play. Reinstall anything else that was taken off and pour in one quart of primary lube. Reconnect battery.

Good Luck

SOURCE: how do i remove primary

First disconnect the battery and drain the primary. Then remove any shifters, footpegs, or anything else that might get it way of the removal process.

Look on the very bottom of the primary and you'll see the primary chain tensioner adjustment bolt. Loosen the locknut and back the bolt down as far as it will go.

Remove the clutch adjuster cover and remove the spring and the locknut. Remove all the bolts holding the cover on and while pulling on the cover gently, turn the clutch adjuster inwards and remove the cover.

Good Luck
Steve

How do I replace starter on 2002 sportster

First disconnect the battery cable. Then you'll have to pull the primary cover off the engine. Find the primary case drain plug underneath the rear of the primary case and remove it to drain the oil. Find the primary chain tensioner underneath the primary cover near the center and loosen the locknut. Turn the screw downwards to loosen the tension on the primary chain. Remove the left foot peg and take the "derby cover" off of the primary cover. Remove the spring and lock nut underneath the derby cover. Remove the bolts around the primary cover. As you gently pull the primary cover away from the engine, turn the clutch adjuster screw under the derby cover in a clockwise direction until the primary cover comes off. Remove the battery cable where it bolts onto the starter motor and the small single wire that plugs to the motor. Just above the clutch assembly there are two bolts. Remove these bolts and the starter will come off the engine. The bolts are different lengths. Make sure you mark which bolt goes where.

Good Luck

My primary casing is very hot. What could be the reason?

The primary case will get hot as there are moving parts inside and it is directly connected to the engine. Check the oil level in your primary. Since you didn't tell me what year and model bike you have, stand the bike straight up. If it's a Big Twin, remove the round derby cover from the back end of the primary and look at the oil level inside. It should be just up to the bottom edge of the clutch outer drum. In the case of a Sportster, simply drain the primary by removing the drain plug under the lower backside of the primary. Remove the small round inspection cover at the top side of the primary cover and add one quart of oil.

Good Luck

How to change my stater

To change the starter on your Sporty, first disconnect the battery. Remove the exhaust system and anything else that it is the way of the starter. Take the battery cable off the starter. Then go to the left side of the bike and remove the foot peg and shifter. Loosen the lock nut on the primary chain tensioner on the underside of the primary. Turn the adjuster screw out a few turns. Take the derby cover off and remove the spring and lock nut on the clutch adjuster. Then drain the oil out of the primary by removing the plug on the underside of the primary. Remove the bolts that hold the primary on. As you pull the primary cover away from the engine, turn the clutch adjuster screw in the center of where the derby cover came off in a clockwise direction. The primary should come off as you turn the screw. Once the cover is off, lay it aside. Remove the two bolts located directly above the clutch assembly. They are different lengths so make sure you remember which goes where. Once these two bolts are out, the starter will come off.

Good Luck

I am reassembling the clutch cable, is there an online manuel for this job or bike

I'm afraid there is no online manual available. Harley is very protective of their copyrighted material.

If you've already gotten the outer primary off the bike and the old cable out. Insert the primary end of the cable into the primary cover and screw the adjuster with the lock nut on it all the way into the outer primary. Reconnect the cable to the release mechanism with the link.

Replace the outer primary but starting the screw for the clutch release into the nut in the release mechanism. Turn the screw counterclockwise while you put the cover back on. Do not forget the gasket. Once you get the cover in position, replace all the bolts in the cover an tighten them. Adjust the primary chain by removing the top plug and checking the slack with your finger. Adjust the primary chain adjuster on the underside of the primary until you 1/2" to 5/8" up and down play in the chain. Finish the assembly of anything at the primary, shifter, foot pegs, etc. Refill the primary with one quart of oil.

Connect the cable at the clutch lever. Back down at the clutch release mechanism, make sure you have the screw turned all the way counterclockwise until it stops. Then turn the screw back 1/4 turn. Adjust the cable adjuster at the front of the primary cover out until you have about 1/8 inch of freeplay at the lever. Lock the lock nut and replace the cover over the clutch release mechanism.

If you need a drawing, contact me directly at [email protected] I'll send you one directly.

Good Luck

Friction plate replacement

First, you'll have to remove the primary cover. Then, you'll need a special tool to get the lockring out of the clutch assembly. Once you get that out, you simply remove the old plates and install new plates. Then, you'll need the special tool to compress the diaphragm spring to get the lockring back into place. Reinstall the primary cover. For a further explaination, contact me directly at [email protected]

2006 1200 sportstsr leaking oil

If I understand you, the leak is coming from the inspection cover for the primary chain. There should be an O ring on that plate. If the cover is leaking when the bike is off you have way to much oil in the primary. The primary only takes 1 quart of gear lube, I use Mobile 1.
