Shifter lever won't return to
Follow the shifter reach rod that runs from the shift lever back to a short lever on the transmission. Take the nut off and take the rod loose from this short lever. Then, move the forward like you are going to shift into low gear but don't actually shift the transmission into gear. Feel for the spring tension. Then, move the lever backwards and feel for the spring tension there. Check the shift lever and the reach rod for binding. If you don't feel the spring tension trying to return the lever back to the center, it's likely that the shifter pawl return spring is broken. This spring is what returns the shifter lever back to 'center". But,the temperature of the transmission will not change this. If the spring is broken, it's broken cold or hot. If the spring is good and there is not bind in the linkage, the problem may be in the shifter cam mechanism inside the transmission. Either way, this is an internal issue in the transmission.
Good Luck

How much chain case lube
The primary case takes 36-44 ounces of oil. Stand the bike as straight up as you can safely get it. Remove the derby cover from the primary cover. Fill the primary case until the oil comes up to the lower edge of the outer clutch drum. That's the shiny aluminum ring on the outside of the clutch assembly. Do not overfill or the clutch will drag making finding neutral with the engine running next to impossible.
Good Luck

Tail light stuck on
You did not say what year or model bike you have but if the brake light is stuck on, you probably have a bad front brake light switch. The switch is located in the right handlebar switch housing and protrudes out so that it is operated by the front brake lever. Make sure that the front brake master cylinder is adjusted down tight against the right handlebar switch housing.
Good Luck

How to replace kickstand 85 harley fxrt - what needs to be moved - engine to access cotter pin?
Replacing the kickstand on a Harley FXRT requires some disassembly and careful handling. Here are the general steps to replace the kickstand:
- Preparation: Ensure you have the necessary tools, a new kickstand, and any replacement parts such as bushings or cotter pins.
- Safety precautions: Place the motorcycle on a stable surface and secure it with a stand or by having someone hold it steady. Put on protective gear such as gloves and safety glasses.
- Removing the cotter pin: Locate the cotter pin that holds the kickstand in place. It is usually located near the pivot point where the kickstand attaches to the frame. Use pliers or a cotter pin removal tool to remove the cotter pin.
- Detaching the kickstand: Once the cotter pin is removed, carefully slide the kickstand out from its mounting bracket. You may need to gently tap it to loosen it if it's stuck. Take note of any bushings or spacers that may be present on the cotter pin side of the kickstand.
- Inspecting and replacing parts: Examine the removed kickstand for any damage or wear. If there is a missing bushing or the kickstand is worn, replace it with a new one. Additionally, inspect the mounting bracket and other related parts for any signs of damage or wear. Replace any damaged or worn parts as necessary.
- Installing the new kickstand: Insert the new kickstand into the mounting bracket, making sure it aligns properly. If there were bushings or spacers on the cotter pin side, ensure they are in place before inserting the kickstand. Slide it in fully, allowing it to rest in its proper position.
- Securing the kickstand: Insert a new cotter pin through the designated hole on the kickstand and frame bracket. Ensure it passes through completely and securely. If necessary, bend the ends of the cotter pin to prevent it from slipping out.
- Testing and adjustments: Before fully tightening any bolts, test the kickstand by lowering it and verifying that it extends and retracts smoothly. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper operation.
- Final steps: Once you are satisfied with the installation and functionality of the new kickstand, reassemble any other components or parts that were removed during the process. Double-check that all fasteners are securely tightened.
It's important to consult the specific service manual or instructions for your Harley FXRT model for detailed guidance. If you are not confident in performing the replacement yourself, it's recommended to seek assistance from a professional motorcycle mechanic.
I have a 99 pan 1100st got a new SOLENOID relAy and it wont turn over just clicking any ideas how to sort it out, TESTING ETC
MOTORCYCLE HARLEY PANHEAD or HONDA>? pan European.
? IS NOT A CAR.
WELL IF BATTERY IS GOOD AND STARTER IS GOOD
THE ENGINE IS SEIZED?
ON mc ENGINES WE REMOVE SIDE COVERS AND HAND TURN THE CRANK SHAFT MAKE SURE IT CAN SPIN.
SO WAS PARKED OUTSIDE OUT DOORS FROM MONTHS OF HARD RAIN,IS NEVER GOOD FOR ANY MOTORCYCLE EVER.
OR SHIFT TO 4TH GEAR (1:1 GEAR) AND PUSH Mc TO SEE IF ENGINE IS SEIZED. .
JUMPER CABLE JUMP THE MC BATTER TO A CAR BATTERY.?
CHARGE YOUR BATTERY FOR 4 HOURS OFF A 10AMP CHARGER? LETTING LEAD/ACID BATTERY JUST SIT ASKS FOR Sulfation DA
MAGE occurs when a battery is deprived of a full charge, I KEPT ALL MY MC (HAD 5 OR MORE) ON FLOAT CHARGE AND NEVER DID THEY FAIL. FULL TIME PARKED UNUSED.
- FUSES GOOD
- BATTERY GOOD
- STARTER RELAY GOOD
- STARTER GOOD

ALSO MANY MOTORCYCLES: this era up.
ALL HAVE NEUTRAL SWITCH STARTER CUT OUT.
SOME HAVE KICK STAND CUT OUT.
SOME HAVE HANDLE BAR DEAD MAN SWITCH LEVERS SET WRONG,
OR CLUTCH SWITCH SAME. CUT OUT.
OR BAD KEY SWITCH OR ANY WIRE TO ANY IF THE ABOVE BAD.
my huge BMW had all that, even in 1977
OR DID YOU MEAN
Honda ST 1100 Pan European????????
IS IT SO HARD TO SAY MAKERS NAME FIRST?
And not put the ST on the wrong end,if true?
but but but !
but is same answer, all motors have the same things , for cranking, (well not my nasty Yamaha' Vargo of old)
starter cutouts on MC are vast, vary by year.
and free manuals for me to read to you never free
pan head or pan European, I fail.
buy the service manual if serious DYI.
see all cutouts and test them all if engine not seized.
use a voltmeter tool , gue$$ing is no fun.
