INSTALL A HARLEY OIL CATCH CAN

This video is designed to show the Harley or any other motorcycle rider how to add an oil catch can. the need for this stems from modern engines routing internal engine gasses back into the motor to be burned in the combustion process. In some cases- generally higher mileage engines with wear, a larger amount of oil will transfer with the gasses and vapors. This residue tends to gather on the throttle body and pool up when shut down. Usually a drop of oil is seen on the bike or when air filter is removed for service. The video starts with a visual depiction of the above description pointing out parts involved. I then move on to start work, show the parts to be used and where they are installed. Harley Davidson air cleaners are in the open and easy to see the work going on. Rather than make a long video showing every move, I tell the viewer what will be done, why and then show the completed task. The job itself is easy not requiring years of mechanical experience, although some applications may require a special tool such as a tap. Most motorcycle riders like to maintain their own bike and I would not expect many to be concerned about doing this install. Once job is complete and a visual overview is done it is taken for a test ride to see if any oil collects in the catch can. I went on a 111 mile test ride (with pictures) then opened the can. In my case no residual oil was captured but I also have a fairly low mileage motor. The motorcycle used is a 2010 Harley Davidson Road King with the Twin Cam 96, 11,000 miles. I am based in Kerrville TX and enjoy riding the Hill Country. Questions about the area? ASK! Thank You
