It’s about that time to do a full routine service on my sportster. In this video I go into the products I use, the things I inspect, how to do a clutch adjustment on it, check belt tension, primary chain tension, lubing throttle and clutch cables, and much more. Let me know if I left anything out or any other video suggestions y’all might have.
Again I want to say thank you for the 5k subscribers, this journey is only in the beginning and I am looking forward to all that is to come. I hope y’all have been doing well. And just curious if anyone actually reads these descriptions, so if you read the description, leave “Where’s my free cookie?” in the comment section 😉

I just got my first Harley at 67 years old
I Haven’t rode motorcycles in years. Heck I haven’t even got the really to ride Harley much. Basically because it’s still kind of winter here.!
2006 883 C screaming eagle with only 6500 miles.
No clue last time it got serviced
I do not know if it needs oil change or primary changed!
I don’t know how to do any of it
But my real problem is with Harley’s is where to buy the parts
I mean, I haven’t got the money to spend $100 on oil.
If I had the money, I’d do an upgrade kit 1270
But darn that’s expensive
The only thing I’ve done that is took it to a dealer and got two tires for $400 bucks
Not bad I follower per mile.
Viewing this again March 2026, Dasha is servicing this bike in 2021, GOOGLE says it happened 1 year ago. THANKS GOOGLE
