Q: Do I need to purchase a rotor for my bike when installing the 2007-later comp sprocket?Ī: If you have a 2007 to 2010 Big Twin, you will need a HD rotor to install the BAKER compensating sprocket. After 5000 miles or so, you should notice a slight increase in shift quality and the clutch performance. Q: Is there a recommended break-in procedure for my new BAKER transmission or clutch?Ī: Yes, drive it like you stole it! Seriously, drivetrain components do not require any break in and can be put into service with 100% duty cycle right away.

This is the point at which the chain free play can be adjusted to the low limit. Have your trusty assistant stop rotating the rear wheel when the chain has risen as high as it goes (most taught). Inherently, some sprockets have more runout than others so some bikes may have a top strand of chain that rises and falls more dramatically than others. Have a drunken buddy, squaw, or circus freak rotate the rear wheel while you observe the rise and fall of the top strand of chain. Jack the rear wheel slightly off the ground. Never adjust the chain on the low side of the spec without doing the following. Q: How much free play should my primary chain have?Ī: When the bike is cold, 5/8”-7/8” overall on the top strand, with the bike hot, 3/8” -5/8” overall movement. Do the second check at 2500 miles, and every 5000 miles after that. Q: How often should I check the primary chain on my EVO/ TC88 bike?Ī: Do the first check at 500 miles, after installing a new primary chain. Then you can join the Peace Corps and help orphaned children with dysentery in Zimbabwe. If the convenience of having one type of oil in your garage out weighs your patriotic obligation to take good care of your bike, you should consider selling your Harley so you can buy a Toyota Preus. 20W50 works OK in the engine but is way too thin to be effective in the transmission and primary under cold and hot operating conditions. Like most things in life, the trade for this convenience is compromise. SYN 3 is convenient in that only one oil type need be used in the engine and drivetrain.

SYN 3 is a 20W50 multi-use full synthetic oil that can be used in the transmission, primary, and the engine according to the Factory. Q: Do you recommend the new Harley SYN 3 oil?Ī: No. Although we recommend using Dexron III ATF with our King Kong Clutch due to the added friction modifiers found in the Automatic Transmission Fluid. Q: What kind of oil should I use in my primary?Ī: BAKER recommends Spectro Heavy Duty Primary Chaincase Fluid (85W) for all 1980-up stock clutches and mild performance aftermarket clutches. If Spectro cannot be found, use a gearbox grade oil or in a worst case scenario, differential (85W90) fluid. Q: What kind of oil should I use in my Transmission?Ī: BAKER recommends Spectro Heavy Duty Platinum 6 Speed Transmission Fluid (75W140) for all factory and BAKER 4, 5, 6 and 7-speed applications. The fluid level should be at the bottom of the derby cover opening. If you check the fluid level in the primary, do so with the bike held upright off of the jiffy stand.
