Regular Check for Harley Davidson Sportster 883 Iron

Model: Harley Davidson Sportster Iron 883

Video tutorial

Perform these checks monthly to avoid surprises. After ensuring all lights are functioning and lit (including indicators and brake lights), check the wear on the front tyre by inserting a £2 coin into the tread; this will give you an idea of how much rubber has worn away.

When the silver part of the coin is completely hidden in the groove, it means the tyres are nearly due for replacement. Do the same with the rear tyre.

If you have a gauge instead of using a coin, that is obviously much better. Also, frequently check the oil level and the play in the drive chain: it should not exceed 15 mm.

How to Change the Gear Oil on a Vespa 125 LX?

To change the gear oil on a Vespa 125 LX, unscrew the drain plug of the reservoir that contains the oil: this is located at the lower rear of the transmission casing, on the left side of the bike near the rear wheel. Once the drain plug is removed, collect the oil in a container until it is empty. At this point, top up through the breather located at the rear of the bike by adding the necessary amount of oil and then close the plug.
