Summary of "15 нет! Что ненадо делать с харлеем. Да и про другие моты тоже."

The video presents 15 key "don'ts" for Harley Davidson owners, with advice applicable to other motorcycles as well. The tips focus on maintenance, riding habits, and proper care to avoid damage and ensure longevity.

Key Tips and Advice:

Air Filter:
- Don’t replace the stock Air Filter with an external one without proper tuning (flashing or jetting) to adjust air-fuel mixture.
- External air filters don’t improve performance unless the engine is tuned accordingly.
- Avoid riding in rain with an external Air Filter exposed; water can enter the engine.
Starting and Riding:
- Let the motorcycle warm up before riding—about 30 seconds for fuel-injected models, 40-50 seconds for carburetors.
- Avoid rapidly twisting the throttle back and forth when stationary, especially on fuel-injected Harleys, to prevent plastic gear wear.
Washing:
- Do not use high-pressure water jets on motorcycles; it can damage wiring, connectors, and remove protective impregnation from the Air Filter.
- Always cover the Air Filter when washing.
- Avoid dousing hot brake discs with cold water; let them cool first to prevent damage.
Tires and Load:
- Regularly check tire pressure to prevent excessive wear.
- Avoid overloading the rear Travel Pack (suitcase) as it affects motorcycle balance and handling.
Battery:
- Beware of poor-quality blue-green batteries that fail quickly.
- Consider using Titanate Batteries as a more reliable alternative.
- Monitor battery condition regularly.
Security:
- For Harleys with keyless tags, always know or record the PIN code to avoid lockout if the tag battery dies.
Rubber and Leather Care:
- Avoid excessive silicone treatment on rubber parts in winter as it blocks air circulation and causes rot.
- Don’t over-apply rubber blackeners or saddle conditioners; excessive treatment makes surfaces slippery and can cause falls.
- Treat Leather Saddles once a year with appropriate products; avoid over-greasing.
Engine Care:
- Do not apply special cleaners or coatings on the engine; it can damage the paint.
Mounting and Transport:
- Don’t leave motorcycles secured on stands for long periods to avoid spring damage.
- For Pan America models, avoid using straps on high footrests; improper fastening can cause falls.
- Never tie a Harley by the handlebars as rubber spacers can be damaged or loosened, affecting steering safety.
Storage:
- Avoid using leather covers on trunks or parts; they can scratch paint and cause rot due to poor ventilation.
- When storing outdoors under a cover, ensure it is ventilated; otherwise, the cover flapping in the wind can scratch the bike.
- Indoor storage with proper ventilation is preferred.
