In order to service the fuel filter on your Sportster, you’ll need to drain the fuel tank. Bob demonstrates the best way to do this using a MityVac and a gasoline can. Once you follow his instructions and drain the fuel tank filter, cleaning any dirty parts and tightening any loose bolts, you can refill the tank with fuel and your bike should be good to go.

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.

Good info. Thanks !
Thank you!
Larry, bulbs don’t “know” anything.. they are inanimate objects, and please stop yelling at the camera.. its annoying.
Dan – I think someone says that in the video? Larry asked the question Bob is the one with the loud voice.
WHY ARE YOU YELLING? ( You no longer need to apply for the Incredible Hulk acting position ) If Larry doesn’t know what bulbs fit in what vehicle, then Larry should go back to his tricycle and girlie streamers! We are Men aren’t we? we talk H1, H3, H4 type globes, We talk HID and LED and we “Don’t ” touch normal globes with our fingers do we now? Come on FMH.. I’ve just fitted Harley Day Lights to my first hog, get with the times!
