1996 Sportster Custom. Why is there no power to ignition switch?
I had same problem, found the Positive cable from battery has parted inside the plastic cover. the cable was broken, but was making and then breaking with the movement of the bike. the bike would run then stop, then would restart later, when running, the engine would sometime spit. replaced the cable with a longer cable , (it was at the starter end of cable that parted) bike working good now.
Good luck

My clutch slips in 5th gear, 02 dyna wide glide Harley Davidson
Lack of clutch plate pressure or worn plates will cause that.
Purchase the parts you have said are damaged/worn a set of plates and springs then rebuild it and happy biking for a few more years.
Follow the procedures as laid down in the workshop manual.
Gas leak at bottom of tank where fuel gauge wires come out 1998 road king classic
The cup in the fuel tank where the fuel gauge sits has rusted and has pinholes that let the fuel leak where those wires come out. I had the same issue on my 1998 Road King Classic. Take out the fuel gauge and fill the rust holes with jb weld fuel tank repair putty,let it dry ,reinstall fuel gauge. DON'T PUT THE JB WELD ON TOO THICK!!!! It makes it harder to reinstall the fuel gauge.GOOD LUCK
Where is the oil pan plug for a 2005 Harley Davidson 88 evvo
A general rule on any engine is that it will be at the lowest point on the oil pan under the bike. I think on your bike it is on the underside of the pan. To find the bolt find the rear foot peg and move straight downwards. It is usually a hex head bolt with a hex hole in the bolt head for a hex key, (Allen key). I recommend using a socket to remove the bolt as it gives a better grip on the bolt.
Clean the bolt and check the rubber 'O' ring it uses as a seal. If you are in Any doubt about it's condition Replace it anyway! They are usually cheap to buy. Clean the drain hole as well to prevent dirt getting into the oil pan. Once the oil has drained refit the drain plug bolt First, tightening it BY HAND. tighten to around 17 ft/lb. DO NOT over tighten as this will strip the threads on the bolt AND the drain plug hole, (an expensive fix!). Do this Before changing your oil filter and refilling the oil.
The bike needs to be fully upright to do an oil change so make sure it is securely mounted on a bike lift or a pit lane stand.
