How to Replace Harley Spark Plugs & Properly Set Gap

December 18, 2020 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

We'll show you how to replace the spark plugs on your Harley and how to set the appropriate gap in this completely free tutorial video. There is no reason to pay a Harley dealership to do this very simple maintenance. There are an array of spark plugs out there on the market. As long as it's a well-known brand name, you'll be just fine. For this project, we purchased the two spark plugs needed directly from the Harley dealership because they were in stock and cost us around $10.

Check your Harley owner's manual, but it's usually recommended that you replace the spark plugs on your Harley at 30,000miles or every two years. I will personally tell you from experience that you can get many more miles than 30k out of a set of spark plugs on your Harley and we currently have a set were testing at 50k miles right now and doing fine (not recommended).

With that said, spark plugs on your Harley are cheap, so why not just change them somewhere around 30k miles & follow Harley's recommendation. Plus, with this free tutorial video, it won't cost you a dealership mechanic fee anyways.

This tutorial video will work for 2014 & newer Harley-Davidson touring models with either a batwing or shark nose style fairings & equipped with the Harley-Davidson Boom!™ Box Infotainment System. This video is for installing the Soundz Bagger Audio front amp & speakers. This video covers every aspect of a front speaker & amp installation in great detail.

Note: With the Soundz Bagger front amp & speakers install you will need to “flash” or “re-program” your Boom!™ Box Infotainment System prior to or after install. Flashing the Boom Box will allow it to recognize the new amp and speaker setup along with putting out the proper levels. Understand, Harley dealerships will no longer flash the Boom Box for you unless you purchase their Harley branded Boom Audio Stage speaker and amp kits. No worries though, because in our tutorial video we show you how to easily flash your Boom Box system using the Techno Research Scan Tool that you purchase with your Soundz Bagger Audio Kit.

Save your money and do this project yourself right in your shop or garage right on the kickstand. No fancy motorcycle lifts, jacks or tools needed.

As usual, the paper instructions provided by Soundz Bagger Audio with the amp and speaker kit will confuse and frustrate you. That is where this video comes in, by breaking it down and showing you exactly how to do each step and why. You will watch in high definition and at the best possible angles. You will listen to actual bikers explain and show things in a way that is easy to understand. It is as if you are right there with us and can reach out and turn a wrench or plug in a wiring harness!

How to Set Suspension Sag on a Motorcycle-Adjusting Preload

July 11, 2020 By Ryan Urlacher 2 Comments

Setting your motorcycle suspension sag by adjusting preload on your rear shocks is very important. It affects the geometry of your motorcycle and how it handles overall. This doesn't need to be a complicated process as many make it seem in other online videos and articles. We're here to break it down in simple terms for the everyday motorcycle enthusiast. (see video below)

Setting motorcycle suspension sag just means that you are adjusting how much your bike lowers (sags) and rides in the rear when a rider, passenger, luggage or a combination is on the bike. The bike should only sag down so far and within a pre-determined range. Whether you're riding street, adventure, dual-sport, or dirt, setting motorcycle suspension sag is a universal process.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

Most stock Harley-Davidson rear shocks have a pre-load adjuster knob and the owner's manual gives you load weight ratings and where you should set the preload. The air shock system on the Harley works the same by adding or removing air. If you install aftermarket shocks of any kind then you'll need to learn how to properly set motorcycle suspension sag.

Video-How to use a Posi-Tap, Twist, Lock Wire Connector on Motorcycle Wiring

July 4, 2020 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

In this video, we show you how to splice or tap into a wire on your Harley-Davidson or Indian using a posi-tap wire connector. It is very similar if using a posi-twist or posi-lock connector. These connectors are very reliable and there are different sizes for different gauge wires. They are approved for harsh environments such as dust, dirt, shock, vibrations, moisture and more. Posi-Tap wire connectors work great on motorcycles for this reason.
