Servicing your own bike can not only save you money, but it can boost your ego as well. In this instance we are talking about changing the oil and oil filter on a 2018 Harley-Davidson Sportster Iron 1200 model. This procedure can be done by a novice with the minimal amount of tools. The job only requires four tools: a socket wrench, an extension for said socket wrench, an oil filter wrench, and a flat-head screwdriver. (Of course, you need an oil catch. If that isn’t common knowledge to you, then maybe a dealer is the right call for you, no judgment!)
Always reference your owner's manual when performing services; if you don't have yours, download one directly from Harley-Davidson here.
