ABOUT THIS MANUAL
GENERAL
This Service Manual has been prepared with two purposes in
mind. First, it will acquaint the user with the construction of the
Harley-Davidson product and assist in the performance of basic
maintenance and repair. Secondly, it will introduce to the pro-
fessional Harley-Davidson Technician the latest field-test ed
and factory-approved major repair methods. We si ncerely
believe that this Service Manual will make your association
with Harley-Davidson products more pleasant and profitable.

PREPARATION FOR SERVICE
A wARNING
Stop the engine when refueling or serv1cmg t he fuel
system. Do not smoke or allow open flame or sparks near
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and hi ghly
explosive, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00002a)
Good preparation is very important for efficient service work.
A clean work area at the start of each job will allow you to
perform the repair as easily and quickly as possible, and wi ll
reduce the incidence of misplaced tools and parts. A motorcycle
that is excessively dirty should be cleaned before work starts.
Cleaning will occasionally uncover sources of trouble. Tools,
instruments and any parts needed for the job should be
gathered before work is started. In terrupting a job to locate
tools or parts is a distraction and causes needless delay.
NOTES
To avoid unnecessary disassembly, carefully read all rel-
ative service inf ormation before repair work is started.
In figure legends, th e number which follows the name of
a part in dicates the quantity necessary for one complete
assembl y.
When servicing a vehicle equipped with the Harley-Dav-
idson Smart Security System (H-DSSS), you must first
disarm the security system. Either keep the fob in close
proximity to the ve hicle, or use Digital Technician II to
disable th e security system while the ve hicle is being ser-
viced andre-e nable the system after service is completed.
SERVICE BULLETINS
In addition to the information presented in t hi s manua l, Harl ey-
Davidson Motor Company wi ll periodically issu e service bul -
letins to Harley-Davidson dealers. Service bu ll etins cover
interim engineering changes and supp lementary info rm ati on.
Consult the service bulletins to keep your product knowledge
current and com pl ete.

A wARNING
Harl ey-Davidson parts and accessories are designed for
Harl ey-Davidson motorcycles. Using non-Harley-Davidson
parts or accessories can adversely affect performance,
stability or handling, which could result in death or serious
injury. (00001 b)
To achieve satisfactory and lasting repairs, carefully fo ll ow the
service manual instructions and use only gen ui ne Harley-
Davidson re pl acement parts. Behind the emblem bearing the
words GENUINE HARLEY-DAVIDSON stand more than 100
years of design, research, manufacturi ng, testing and inspecting
experience. This is your assura nce th at the pa rts you are using
will f it right, ope ra te properly and last longer.

NOTE
Refers to important information, and is placed in italic type. It
is recommended that you take special notice of these items.
Proper service and repair is important for the safe, reliable
operation of all mechanical products. The service procedures
recommended and described in this manual are effective
methods for performing service operations.
A wARNING
Always wear proper eye protection when using hammers,
arbor or hydraulic presses, gear pullers, spring com-
pressors, slide hammers and similar tools. Flying parts
could result in death or serious injury. (00496b)
Some of these service operations require the use of tools
specially designed for the purpose. These special tools should
be used when and as recommended . It is important to note
that some warnings against the use of specific service methods,
which could damage the motorcycle or render it unsafe, a~e
stated in this manual. However, remember that these warnings
are not all-inclusive. Inadequate safety precautions could result
in death or serious injury.
Since Harley-Davidson could not possibly know, evaluate or
advise the service trade of all possible ways in which service
might be performed , or of the possible hazardous con-
sequences of each method, we have not undertaken any such
broad evaluation. Accordingly, anyone who uses a service
procedure or tool which is not recommended by Harley-Dav-
idson must first thoroughly satisfy himself that neither his nor
the operator's safety will be jeopardized as a result. Failure to
do so could result in death or serious injury.
