This video reviews how to maintain your Harley Trike rear brake pads. This video reviews the brake pad and rotor specs for replacement. Bob LaRosa shows us how to remove the pads and notes that the disc brake function is similar to the other Touring models with a master cylinder and brake fluid. He will remove the retaining clips and loosen the caliper retention bolts that retain the brake pads. As always, work clean and keep track of the parts you remove and how you removed them.

    Harley Fork Oil Service

    Bob and Mark demonstrate the best way to empty fork oil from your Sportster’s front fork sliders and replace it with new oil. It can be a two-man job, so try to complete the service with a friend. Newer bikes mostly use 39-millimeter forks, but most bikes are preset with varying levels of spring in the sliders, so consult your manual before you begin this service. Like any other service, you should clean all of the parts that you remove with parts cleaner to ensure that your bike operates smoothly between services.

    Harley Sportster Spark Plugs Replacement

    Bob teaches you how to service the spark plugs on your Harley’s engine. Although you can clean and service your old spark plugs, Bob recommends just buying new ones because they are fairly inexpensive. You should purchase gapped, Harley-only spark plugs which usually come with a gap of 38-43,000th of an inch. After applying some anti-seize to the threads of the new plugs, you can thread them into the cylinder by hand and tighten them with a torque wrench and you’ll be good to go.
