FOREWORD 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 professional Harley-Davidson Technician the latest field- tested and factory-approved major repair methods. We sin- cerely believe that this Service Manual will make your associ- ation with Harley-Davidson products more pleasant and profitable. HOW TO USE YOUR SERVICE MANUAL Information is arranged as follows: • Section 1-Maintenance • Section 2-Ghassis • Section 3-Engine • Section 4-Fuel System • Section 5-Electric Starter • Section 6-Drive • Section 7-Transmission • Section 8-Electrical • Appendix A-Tools • Appendix B-Wiring • Appendix G-Metric Conversions • Appendix D-Glossary Use the TABLE OF CONTENTS following this FOREWORD or the INDEX at the back of the book to find the desired sub- ject. Note that each manual section contains sequentially num- bered topics. The numbering system allows quick cross refer- ences throughout the document. For example, the sixth topic (BRAKES) in section one (MAIN- TENANCE) could be referred to as: 1.6 BRAKES This cross reference directs the reader to section 1 (MAINTENANCE) and topic 6 (BRAKES). PREPARATION FOR SERVICE AWARNING Stop the engine when refueling or servicing the fuel sys- tem. 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. A clean work area at the start of each job will allow you to per- form the repair as easily and quickly as possible, and will reduce the incidence of misplaced tools and parts. A motorcy- cle 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. Interrupting a job to locate tools or parts is a distraction and causes needless delay. See APPENDIX A-TOOLS for equipment required for special ser- vice work. NOTE • Toavoid unnecessary disassembly, carefully read all rel- ative service information before repair work is started. • In figure legends, the number which follows the name of a part indicates the quantity necessary for one complete assembly. SERVICE BULLETINS In addition to the information presented in this Service Manual, Harley-Davidson Motor Company will periodically issue Service Bulletins to Harley dealers. Service Bulletins cover interim engineering changes and supplementary infor- mation. USE GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS AWARNING When replacement parts are required, use only genuine Harley-Davidson parts or parts with equivalent character- istics (which include type , strength and material). Failure to do so may result in product malfunction. This could result in death or serious injury. 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 i.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS Statements in this service manual preceded by the following words are of special significance. ADANGER DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. AWARNING WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. (00119a) ACAUTION CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. (00139a) CAUTION CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage (00140a) AWARNING • 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 per- forming service operations. 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 spe- cific service methods, which could damage the motorcycle or render it unsafe, are stated in this Ser- vice Manual. However, please remember that these warnings are not all-inclusive. Inadequate safety pre- cautions 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 consequences 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-David- son must first thoroughly satisfy himself that neither his nor the operator's safety will be jeopardized as a result.This could result in death or serious injury. • Wear eye protection when using hammers, arbor or hydraulic presses, gear pullers, spring compressors, slide hammers and similar tools. Be especially cau- tious when using pulling, pressing or compressing equipment. The forces involved can cause parts to fly outward with considerable force, possibly result- ing in death or serious injury. ii. PRODUCT REFERENCES AWARNING Follow the directions listed on all products. Carefully read all labels, warnings and cautions before use. Inade- quate safety precautions could result in death or serious injury. When reference is made in this Service Manual to a specific brand name product , tool or instrument, an equivalent product , tool or instrument may be substituted.
