No need to to remove the fuse, no need to purge tank, remove it when its at 1/4 tank and keep it moving

 

How do you mean keep it moving?

 

Understood. Aecs has it right. Those two steps are in there to prevent a shop from suing HD corporate for not instructing them to remove all possibility of injury or fire while working on the fuel tank. I think HD recommends removing the main fuse for any kind of work on the bike.

 

That said, I removed the tank, it’s so easy a caveman could do it.

It’s ridiculous how easy it is to do some things on these new bikes. Quick release fuel connection. 4 bolts, like 2 connectors.

Use dielectric grease on new ones if only to aid later.

I highly recommend following the directions in manual as for me, there’s a bit of “dirt” in the wells. A blast of air will suffice to clear out the debris, otherwise we all know what may happen.

I also did in conjunction with spark plug change. Around 28k miles.

I was also able to clean/wipe down the top of the engine, underside of tank, etc…see the horror of removing top end possibly one day.

FWIW, I wouldn’t try without removing tank, you end up scratching the F out it and who you gonna be upset with?

You can do it!

 

I've done a valve clearance/adjustment on a v4.I should be able to manage it

 

Thanks man.Im just gonna remove the tank later or the weekend.

 

Harley put some dielectric grease in the SE cables box.

 

Honestly if you’re in a hurry, it won’t take but a couple hours, it’s that easy.

 

lol
