Harley-Davidson XL 1200V Sportster Seventy-Two. Where is chain oiler on 72 Sportster please?

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Garden category. Nothing is jumping off the page to say it has one. Sits in the 2.6 litres of oil capacity doesn't it. A year is good as well, unless you mean 1972? All questions need full 'year make model' for best results or we just guess. https://www.google.com/search?q=harley-davidson+xl+1200v+sportster+seventy-two+chain+oiler ..

2004 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 is dying while riding and the battery is dead.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Cars and Trucks. Lithium Ion batteries are not suitable for motorcycles despite what it says on the label and advertising. The Scotty Kilmer YouTube Channel did a video on it 2 says ago! The technology is different the maker did not design the electronics and the computer for Lithium Ion.

No spark 1988 Harley Davidson XL1200 Sportster

Hi, Justin and the usual suspects are: 1. Fouled spark plugs. 2. Severely discharged or a damaged battery should have 12.5 volts or more and be able to pass a proper "LOAD" test if necessary, you may have a preliminary reading of 12.5 volts or more but little or zero amperage the battery is faulty and must be replaced, AGM batteries fail in this scenario more so than lead-acid batteries. 3. Check battery terminals for damage or corrosion, check the battery cables at "BOTH" ends for loose, corroded, or broken connectors, "INSIDE" and outside the cable harness, perform connector wiggle test and check cables with an ohmmeter if necessary. 4. Loose connection at the ignition coil or plug between ignition sensor and module. 5. Spark plug cables in bad condition, shorting/leaking, spark plug cable connections loose check for spark leakage in the dark. 6. Faulty ignition coil or electronic control module. 7. Faulty pulse coil. 8. Faulty CKP, CMP, or BAS sensor. 9. Faulty ignition switch. 10. Faulty run/off switch 11. Tilt sensor needs a reset. 12. Security alarm failing to disarm needs reset For more information about your issue and valuable "FREE" downloads that you will need for viewing or printing please click on the blue links below and for more specific information or questions at no charge please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

Mikuni carb and Interference with tank placement on 96 1200 custom after VOES valve relocated @

Hi, Anonymous the answer to this question is way above my pay grade for this situation I would call my local dealer or reputable shop's service/parts department and inquire about any possible quick fix, answers, or parts inquiry. If necessary, transport your bike to the dealer or shop and have a professional technician take it for a test drive, if it is in running condition, and give you a written estimate of repairs and answer any specific questions you may have about your problem.
