While I have read these forums for years I just joined hoping for help with the following. I currently own a 82 FLT, 2001 Sportster 883, and a 2015 Road King. I have been riding for 50 years and owned more bikes (of all makes) than I can remember. Usually I figure these things out but I am dead end on this problem. I have tried everything I can think of to get the jack-shaft aligned properly so I'm not tearing up the bearings. I have ruined both the needle bearing in the starter housing and the bearing in the outer primary. I have replaced virtually everything, starter, solenoid, jack-shaft, starter housing, battery, relay and primary cover. The battery is new and I have good connections and grounding. I don't know what to look for next. Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

 

I say that's not a proper intro...try again. >.<

 

Welcome to the forums from Ontario, Canada, may want to put that in the mech/tech area for more help, good luck.

G'day mate,

welcome to HDF.

I will be your tour guide. Be sure to read the manual before posting ok mate?

Or we will have discipline you and if you don't "get it" we will need to discipline you biker style.

Here is a gift for you… LOL! “I so funi!”

Now let’s get serious for your orientation. Go down the hall on your left to the 1st room. No, wait. The 1st room on your right. That is where the commissary is.

Then you will see doors marked for the mortuary, skeet shooting, a room where we make fun of In-Jun bikes, and of course we have a ahh, umm, oh yeah a across the hall.

We had a BOMB MAKING room but, well, ahhhhh, 1 of the guys just didn't understand Blasting Caps very well so..... you know.

We have our own pub .

There are several places where you can familiarize your self with the .

So don't be a wall flower watching others . Get involved.

See you around mate. I am going to the commissary now.

If you have questions about engines, exhaust systems, audio issues, etc… then:

1) Please go to the upper corner and Roll Over “Forums”

2) Then come down to and Roll Over “Harley Davidson Tech & Mechanical Forum”

3) Then come down to the section that would be most appropriate for your question like Audio Systems, Engine Mechanical Topics, Exhaust System Topics, etc… and CLICK on the topic you have a question about.

You will find the knowledge here is EXCELLENT and these here mates are willing to help you in any way they can. ‘juss be careful. There are some “Trolls”, so I suggest just ignoring them ‘ole farts.
