Sections and topics in this manual are sequentially numbered for easy navigation. CHAPTER NO. Maintenance 1 Chassis 2 Engine 3 Fuel System 4 Drive 5 Transmission 6 Electrical 7 Engine Management 8 Appendix A Wiring A Appendix B Glossary B For example, a cross-reference shown as 2.1 SPECIFICATIONS refers to chapter 2 CHASSIS, heading 2.1 SPECIFICATIONS. If the subject you seek is not in this supplement, refer to the corresponding chapter in the appropriate service manual. Check the title page located in the front of each chapter to find the subject. For quick and easy reference, all pages contain a chapter number followed by a page number. For example, page 3-5 refers to page 5 in chapter 3. In figure legends, the number following the name of a part indicates the quantity necessary for one complete assembly. PREPARATION FOR SERVICE TOOL NAME PART NUMBER DIGITAL TECHNICIAN II HD-48650 Stop the engine when refueling or servicing the fuel system. Do not smoke or allow open flame or sparks near gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00002a) Good preparation is very important for efficient service work. Start each job with a clean work area. This will allow the repair to proceed as smoothly as possible. It will also reduce the incidence of misplaced tools and parts. Clean a motorcycle that is excessively dirty before work starts. Cleaning will occasionally uncover sources of trouble. Gather any tools, instruments and any parts needed for the job before work begins. Interrupting a job to locate tools or parts is a dis- traction and causes needless delay. NOTES • To avoid unnecessary disassembly, carefully read all related service information before repair work begins. • 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), first disarm the system. Keep the fob close to the vehicle or use DIGITAL TECHNICIAN II (Part No. HD-48650) to disable the system. Activate the system after service is completed. SERVICE BULLETINS In addition to the information presented in this service manual supplement and the appropriate service manual, Harley-Dav- idson Motor Company will periodically issue Service Bulletins to Harley-Davidson dealers. Service bulletins cover interim engineering changes and supplementary information. Consult the service bulletins to keep your product knowledge current and complete. USE GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS Harley-Davidson parts and accessories are designed for Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Using non-Harley-Davidson parts or accessories can adversely affect performance, stability or handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00001b) To achieve 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 I FOREWORD

experience. This is your assurance that the parts you are using will fit right, operate properly and last longer. DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING Help protect our environment! Many communities maintain facilities for recycling used fluids, plastics and metals. Dispose of or recycle used oil, lubricants, fuel, coolant, brake fluid and batteries in accordance with local regulations. Many Harley- Davidson parts and accessories are made of plastics and metals which can also be recycled. WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS Statements in this manual preceded by the following words are of special significance. WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. (00119a) CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. (00139a) NOTICE indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage. (00140b) 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. 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, are 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. PRODUCT REFERENCES Read and follow warnings and directions on all products. Failure to follow warnings and directions can result in death or serious injury. (00470b) When reference is made in this manual to a specific brand name product, tool or instrument, an equivalent product, tool or instrument may be substituted.
