5:11Harley Sportster Battery Removal & Seat Removal
In this quick demonstration of the Harley Sportster battery removal, you’ll learn how to remove your bike’s seat and side cover so you can check on the condition of your battery and its operating components. It is strongly recommended that you remove the negative cable of the battery first and replace it last when servicing your bike. If you remove the positive cable first, you risk causing a dangerous spark if the battery comes in contact with your bike’s frame. Bob has been dealing with these batteries for years and removes the neg from the battery. If this is your first time, we highly suggest removing neg from ground stud on the crankcase boss(see images)with wobble extension.

I am having vapor lock issues on my 2008 ultra classic
THANKS!! The best and the only site that explains to me the lack of Power in my 883. I recently bought a new cap and I’ve noticed the vapor release when I opened it. My bad ´cause the cap is one that I bought in that “wish” app
Can’t get fuel to EFI. Had to remove tank and now no fuel. Starts if I put fuel into butterfly.
