A number of acronyms and abbreviations are used in this document. See the E.1 GLOSSARY for a list of acronyms, abbreviations and definitions. PREPARATION FOR SERVICE A wA RNI NG Stop the engine when refueling or servi cing the fuel system. Do not smoke or allow open flame or sparks near gasoline. Gasoline Is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which cou ld result In death or serious injury. (000028) Good preparation is very important for elfocient 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 will reduce the incidence of misplaced tools and parts. A motorcyde that is excessively dirty should be deaned before work starts. Cleaning will occasionally uncover sources of trouble. Tools, instruments and any parts needed for the job should be gathered bef ore work is started. Interrupting a job to locate tools or parts is a distraction and causes needless delay. NOTES To avoid unnecessary disassembly. carefully read all ref· alive service information before repair wor k is started. In figure legends, the number which follows the name of a part indicates the quantity necessary for one complete assembly. When servicing a vehicle equipped with the Harley-Dav- idson Smart Security System (H·DSSS), you must first disarm the security sy.stem. Either keep the fob in close proximity to the vehicle, or use Digital Technician II to disable the security sy.stem while the vehicle is being ser- viced andre-enable the system after service is completed. SERVICE BULLETINS In addition to the information presented in this Service Manual, Harley-Davidson Motor Company will periodically issue Service Bulletins to Harley-Davidson dealers. Service Bulletins cover interim engineering changes and supplementary inf ormation. Consult the Service Bulletins to keep your product knowledge current and complete. USE GENUI NE REPLACEMENT PARTS A wARN ING Do not use aftennarket parts and custom made front forks wh ich can adversely affect performance and handling. Removing or altering factory Installed parts can adversely affect performance and could result In deat h or seri ous Injury . (00001a) To ensure satisfactory and lasting repairs, carefully follow the Service Manual instructions and use only genuine Harley· Davidson replacement parts. Behind the emblem bearing the words GENUINE HARLEY-DAVIDSON stand more than 100 years of design, research, manufacturing, testing and inspecting experience. This is your assurance that the parts you are using will fit right, operate properly and last longer. WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS Statements in this service manual preceded by the following words are of special significance. A wARN ING WARNING indicates a potentiall y hazardous situation which, If not avoided, could result In death or seri ous injury. (00119a) A cAUTION CAUTION Ind icates a pot ent i ally hazardous situation which, II n ot avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

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 service manual are effective methods for performing service operations. A wARNING Always wear proper eye protection when using hammers, arbor or hydraulic presses, gear pullers, s pring com· pressors, slide hammers and si milar tools. Flying parts could result In death or serlous 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, are stated in this service manual. However, please 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 naither his nor the operator's safety will be jeopardized as a result. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury. PRODUCT REFERENCES A wARN ING Reed and follow warnings and di rections on all products. Failure to follow warnings and directions can result In death or serious Injury.
