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.

injury.
