2003 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FXD DYNA SUPER GLIDE Service Manual

CHAPTER ONE GENERAL INFORMATION This detailed and comprehensive manual covers the Harley-Davidson Dyna Glide Twin Cam 88 model from 1999-on. Procedures and specifications unique to 2002-2005 models are covered in the Supplement at the end of the manual. The text provides complete information on maintenance, tune-up, repair and overhaul. Hundreds of photos and drawings guide the reader through every job. A shop manual is a reference tool and as in all service manuals, the chapters are thumb tabbed for easy reference. Important items are indexed at the end of the book. All procedures, tables and figures are designed for the reader who may be working on the vehicle for the first time. Frequently used specifications and capacities from individual chapters are summarized in the Quick Reference Data at the front of the book. Tables 1-9 are at the end of this chapter. Table 1 lists model designation. Table 2 lists general vehicle dimensions. Table 3 lists vehicle weight. Table 4 lists decimal and metric equivalents. Table 5 lists conversion tables. Table 6 lists general torque specifications. Table 7 lists technical abbreviations. Table 8 lists American tap and drill sizes. Table 9 lists special tools. MANUAL ORGANIZATION All dimensions and capacities are expressed in metric and U.S. standard units of measurement. This chapter provides general information on shop safety, tool use, service fundamentals and shop supplies. The tables at the end of the chapter include general vehicle information. Chapter Two provides methods for quick and accurate diagnosis of problems. Troubleshooting procedures present typical symptoms and logical methods to pinpoint and repair the problem. 1

Chapter Three explains all routine maintenance necessary to keep the vehicle running well. Chapter Three also includes recommended tune-up procedures, eliminating the need to constantly consult the chapters on the various assemblies. Subsequent chapters describe specific systems such as engine, transmission, clutch, drive system, fuel and exhaust systems, suspension and brakes. Each disassembly, repair and assembly procedure is discussed in step-by-step form. Some of the procedures in this manual specify special tools. In most cases, the tool is illustrated in use. Well-equipped mechanics may be able to sub- stitute similar tools or fabricate a suitable replacement. However, in some cases, the specialized equipment or expertise needed may make it imprac- tical for the home mechanic to attempt the procedure. When necessary, such operations are identified in the text with the recommendation to have a dealership or specialist perform the task. It may be less expensive to have a professional perform these jobs, especially when considering the cost of the equipment. WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES The terms, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE have specific meanings in this manual. A WARNING emphasizes areas where injury or even death could result from negligence. Mechani- cal damage may also occur. WARNINGS are to be taken seriously . A CAUTION emphasizes areas where equipment damage could result. Disregarding a CAUTION could cause permanent mechanical damage, though injury is unlikely. A NOTE provides additional information to make a step or procedure easier or clearer. Disregarding a NOTE could cause inconvenience, but would not cause equipment damage or personal injury. SAFETY Professional mechanics can work for years and never sustain a serious injury or mishap. Follow these guidelines and practice common sense to safely service the vehicle. 1. Do not operate the vehicle in an enclosed area. The exhaust gasses contain carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, and tasteless poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide levels build quickly in small enclosed areas and can cause unconsciousness and death in a short time. Make sure the work area is properly ventilated or operate the vehicle outside. 2. Never use gasoline or any extremely flammable liquid to clean parts. Refer to Cleaning Parts and Handling Gasoline Safely in this chapter. 3. Never smoke or use a torch in the vicinity of flammable liquids, such as gasoline or cleaning solvent. 4. If welding or brazing on the vehicle, remove the fuel tank, carburetor and shocks to a safe distance at least 50 ft. (15 m) away. 5. Use the correct type and size of tools to avoid damaging fasteners. 6. Keep tools clean and in good condition. Replace or repair worn or damaged equipment. 7. When loosening a tight fastener, be guided by what would happen if the tool slips. 8. When replacing fasteners, make sure the new fasteners are of the same size and strength as the original ones. 9. Keep the work area clean and organized. 10. Wear eye protection anytime the safety of the eyes is in question. This includes procedures in- volving drilling, grinding, hammering, compressed air and chemicals. 11. Wear the correct clothing for the job. Tie up or cover long hair so it can not get caught in moving equipment. 12. Do not carry sharp tools in clothing pockets. 13. Always have an approved fire extinguisher available. Make sure it is rated for gasoline (Class B) and electrical (Class C) fires. 14. Do not use compressed air to clean clothes, the vehicle or the work area. Debris may be blown into the eyes or skin. Never direct compressed air at any- one. Do not allow children to use or play with any compressed air equipment. 15. When using compressed air to dry rotating parts, hold the part so it can not rotate. Do not allow the force of the air to spin the part. The air jet is ca- pable of rotating parts at extreme speed. The part may be damaged or disintegrate, causing serious injury. 16. Do not inhale the dust created by brake pad and clutch wear. These particles may contain asbestos. In addition, some types of insulating materials and gaskets may contain asbestos. Inhaling asbestos particles is hazardous to health. 2 CHAPTER ONE

17. Never work on the vehicle while someone is working under it. 18. When placing the vehicle on a stand, make sure it is secure before walking away. Handling Gasoline Safely Gasoline is a volatile flammable liquid and is one of the most dangerous items in the shop. Because gasoline is used so often, many people forget that it is hazardous. Only use gasoline as fuel for gasoline internal combustion engines. Keep in mind, when working on a vehicle, gasoline is always present in the fuel tank, fuel line and carburetor. To avoid a di- sastrous accident when working around the fuel system, carefully observe the following precau- tions: 1. Never use gasoline to clean parts. See Cleaning Parts in this chapter. 2. When working on the fuel system, work outside or in a well-ventilated area. 3. Do not add fuel to the fuel tank or service the fuel system while the vehicle is near open flames, sparks or where someone is smoking. Gasoline vapor is heavier than air, it collects in low areas and is more easily ignited than liquid gasoline. 4. Allow the engine to cool completely before working on any fuel system component. 5. When draining the carburetor, catch the fuel in a plastic container and then pour it into an approved gasoline storage device. 6. Do not store gasoline in glass containers. If the glass breaks, a serious explosion or fire may occur. 7. Immediately wipe up spilled gasoline with rags. Store the rags in a metal container with a lid until they can be properly disposed of, or place them outside in a safe place for the fuel to evaporate. 8. Do not pour water onto a gasoline fire. Water spreads the fire and makes it more difficult to put out. Use a class B, BC or ABC fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire. 9. Always turn off the engine before refueling. Do not spill fuel onto the engine or exhaust system. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Leave an air space at the top of the tank to allow room for the fuel to expand due to temperature fluctuations. Cleaning Parts Cleaning parts is one of the more tedious and difficult service jobs performed in the home garage. There are many types of chemical cleaners and solvents available for shop use. Most are poisonous and extremely flammable. To prevent chemical ex- posure, vapor buildup, fire and serious injury, observe each product warning label and note the following: 1. Read and observe the entire product label before using any chemical. Always know what type of chemical is being used and whether it is poisonous and/or flammable. 2. Do not use more than one type of cleaning solvent at a time. If mixing chemicals is called for, measure the proper amounts according to the manufacturer. 3. Work in a well-ventilated area. 4. Wear chemical-resistant gloves. 5. Wear safety glasses. 6. Wear a vapor respirator if the instructions call for it. 7. Wash hands and arms thoroughly after cleaning parts. 8. Keep chemical products away from children and pets. 9. Thoroughly clean all oil, grease and cleaner residue from any part that must be heated. 10. Use a nylon brush when cleaning parts. Metal brushes may cause a spark. 11. When using a parts washer, only use the solvent recommended by the manufacturer. Make sure the parts washer is equipped with a metal lid that will lower in case of fire. Warning Labels Most manufacturers attach information and warning labels to the vehicle. These labels contain instructions that are important to personal safety when operating, servicing, transporting and storing the vehicle. Refer to the owner’s manual for the de- scription and location of labels. Order replacement labels from the manufacturer if they are missing or damaged. GENERAL INFORMATION 3 1

SERIAL NUMBERS Serial numbers are stamped on various locations on the frame, engine, transmission and carburetor. Record these numbers in the Quick Reference Data section in the front of the book. Have these numbers available when ordering parts. The frame serial number (Figure 1) is stamped on the right side of the frame down tube. The VIN number label (Figure 2) is located just below the frame number on the right side frame down tube. Engine serial number is stamped on a pad on the left side of the crankcase (Figure 3), as well as the right side of the crankcase (Figure 4). The transmission serial number (Figure 5) is stamped on a pad on the right side of the transmission case next to the side door. The carburetor serial number (Figure 6) is located on the side of the carburetor body next to the accelerator pump linkage. Table 1 lists model designation. FASTENERS Proper fastener selection and installation is important to ensure that the vehicle operates as designed and can be serviced efficiently. The choice of original equipment fasteners is not arrived at by chance. Make sure that replacement fasteners meet all the same requirements as the originals. Threaded Fasteners Threaded fasteners secure most of the components on the vehicle. Most are tightened by turning them clockwise (right-hand threads). If the normal rotation of the component being tightened would loosen the fastener, it may have left-hand threads. If a left-hand threaded fastener is used, it is noted in the text. Two dimensions are required to match the threads of the fastener: the number of threads in a given distance and the outside diameter of the threads. Two systems are currently used to specify threaded fastener dimensions: the U.S. Standard system and the metric system (Figure 7). Pay particular attention when working with unidentified fasteners; mismatching thread types can damage threads. 4 CHAPTER ONE 1 2 3 4

NOTE To ensure that the fastener threads are not mismatched or cross-threaded, start all fasteners by hand. If a fastener is hard to start or turn, determine the cause before tightening with a wrench. The length (L, Figure 8), diameter (D) and distance between thread crests (pitch) (T) classify metric screws and bolts. A typical bolt may be identified by the numbers, 8—1.25 × 130. This indicates the bolt has diameter of 8 mm, the distance between thread crests is 1.25 mm and the length is 130 mm. Always measure bolt length as shown in Fig- ure 8 to avoid purchasing replacements of the wrong length. The numbers located on the top of the fastener (Figure 8) indicate the strength of metric screws and bolts. The higher the number, the stronger the fastener is. Unnumbered fasteners are the weakest. Many screws, bolts and studs are combined with nuts to secure particular components. To indicate the size of a nut, manufacturers specify the internal diameter and the thread pitch. The measurement across two flats on a nut or bolt indicates the wrench size. WARNING Do not install fasteners with a strength classification lower than what was originally installed by the manufacturer. Doing so may cause equipment failure and/or damage. Torque Specifications The materials used in the manufacture of the vehicle may be subjected to uneven stresses if the fas- GENERAL INFORMATION 5 1 7 5 6 8 American Metric 60° 60° -9.8 Grade marking T D L

teners of the various subassemblies are not installed and tightened correctly. Fasteners that are improp- erly installed or work loose can cause extensive damage. It is essential to use an accurate torque wrench, described in this chapter, with the torque specifications in this manual. Specifications for torque are provided in New- ton-meters (N•m), foot-pounds (ft.-lb.) and inch-pounds (in.-lb.). Refer to Table 6 for general torque specifications. To use Table 6, first determine the size of the fastener as described in Fas- teners in this chapter. Torque specifications for specific components are at the end of the appropri- ate chapters. Torque wrenches are covered in the Basic Tools section. Self-Locking Fasteners Several types of bolts, screws and nuts incorpo- rate a system that creates interference between the two fasteners. Interference is achieved in various ways. The most common type is the nylon insert nut and a dry adhesive coating on the threads of a bolt. Self-locking fasteners offer greater holding strength than standard fasteners, which improves their resistance to vibration. Most self-locking fasteners cannot be reused. The materials used to form the lock become distorted after the initial installation and removal. It is a good practice to discard and replace self-locking fasteners after their removal. Do not replace self-locking fasteners with standard fasteners. Washers There are two basic types of washers: flat washers and lockwashers. Flat washers are simple discs with a hole to fit a screw or bolt. Lockwashers are used to prevent a fastener from working loose. Washers can be used as spacers and seals, or to help distribute fastener load and to prevent the fastener from damaging the component. As with fasteners, when replacing washers make sure the replacement washers are of the same design and quality. Cotter Pins A cotter pin is a split metal pin inserted into a hole or slot to prevent a fastener from loosening. In cer- tain applications, such as the rear axle on an ATV or motorcycle, the fastener must be secured in this way. For these applications, a cotter pin and castel- lated (slotted) nut is used. To use a cotter pin, first make sure the diameter is correct for the hole in the fastener. After correctly tightening the fastener and aligning the holes, insert the cotter pin through the hole and bend the ends over the fastener (Figure 9). Unless instructed to do so, never loosen a torqued fastener to align the holes. If the holes do not align, tighten the fastener just enough to achieve alignment. 6 CHAPTER ONE 9 10 Correct installation of cotter pin Internal snap ring Plain clip External snap ring E-ring

Cotter pins are available in various diameters and lengths. Measure length from the bottom of the head to the tip of the shortest pin. Snap rings and E-clips Snap rings (Figure 10) are circular-shaped metal retaining clips. They are required to secure parts and gears in place on parts such as shafts, pins or rods. External type snap rings are used to retain items on shafts. Internal type snap rings secure parts within housing bores. In some applications, in addition to securing the component(s), snap rings of varying thickness also determine endplay. These are usually called selective snap rings. Two basic types of snap rings are used: machined and stamped snap rings. Machined snap rings (Fig- ure 11) can be installed in either direction, since both faces have sharp edges. Stamped snap rings (Figure 12) are manufactured with a sharp edge and a round edge. When installing a stamped snap ring in a thrust application, install the sharp edge facing away from the part producing the thrust. E-clips and circlips are used when it is not practi- cal to use a snap ring. Remove E-clips with a flat blade screwdriver by prying between the shaft and E-clip. To install an E-clip, center it over the shaft groove and push or tap it into place. Observe the following when installing snap rings: 1. Remove and install snap rings with snap ring pliers. See Snap Ring Pliers in this chapter. 2. In some applications, it may be necessary to replace snap rings after removing them. 3. Compress or expand snap rings only enough to install them. If overly expanded, they lose their retaining ability. 4. After installing a snap ring, make sure it seats completely. 5. Wear eye protection when removing and installing snap rings. SHOP SUPPLIES Lubricants and Fluids Periodic lubrication helps ensure a long service life for any type of equipment. Using the correct type of lubricant is as important as performing the lubrication service, although in an emergency the wrong type is better than none. The following section describes the types of lubricants most often required. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for lubricant types. Engine oils Engine oil is classified by two standards: the American Petroleum Institute (API) service classification and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) viscosity rating. This information is on the oil container label. Two letters indicate the API service classification. The number or sequence of numbers and letter (10W-40 for example) is the oil’s viscosity rating. The API service classification and GENERAL INFORMATION 7 1 11 12 Direction of thrust Full support areas Direction of thrust Rounded edges Sharp edges

the SAE viscosity index are not indications of oil quality. The service classification indicates that the oil meets specific lubrication standards. The first letter in the classification (S) indicates that the oil is for gasoline engines. The second letter indicates the standard the oil satisfies. The classification started with the letter A and is currently at the letter J. Always use an oil with a classification recommended by the manufacturer. Using an oil with a different classification can cause engine damage. Viscosity is an indication of the oil’s thickness. Thin oils have a lower number while thick oils have a higher number. Engine oils fall into the 5- to 50-weight range for single-grade oils. Most manufacturers recommend multigrade oil. These oils perform efficiently across a wide range of operating conditions. Multigrade oils are identified by a W after the first number, which indicates the low-temperature viscosity. Engine oils are most commonly mineral (petroleum) based; however, synthetic and semi-synthetic types are used more frequently. When selecting engine oil, follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for type, classification and viscosity when selecting engine oil. Greases Grease is lubricating oil with thickening agents added to it. The National Lubricating Grease Insti- tute (NLGI) grades grease. Grades range from No. 000 to No. 6, with No. 6 being the thickest. Typical multipurpose grease is NLGI No. 2. For specific applications, manufacturers may recommend water-resistant type grease or one with an additive such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ). Brake fluid Brake fluid is the hydraulic fluid used to transmit hydraulic pressure (force) to the wheel brakes. Brake fluid is classified by the Department of Transportation (DOT). Current designations for brake fluid are DOT 3, DOT 4 and DOT 5. This classification appears on the fluid container. Each type of brake fluid has its own definite char- acteristics. The Harley-Davidson Dyna Glide uses the silicone based DOT 5 brake fluid. Do not inter- mix DOT 3 or DOT 4 type brake fluid as this may cause brake system failure since the DOT 5 brake fluid is not compatible with other brake fluids. When adding brake fluid, only use the fluid recommended by the manufacturer. Brake fluid will damage any plastic, painted or plated surface it contacts. Use extreme care when working with brake fluid and remove any spills immediately with soap and water. Hydraulic brake systems require clean and moisture free brake fluid. Never reuse brake fluid. Keep containers and reservoirs properly sealed. WARNING Never put a mineral-based (petroleum) oil into the brake system. Min- eral oil will cause rubber parts in the system to swell and break apart, re- sulting in complete brake failure. Cleaners, Degreasers and Solvents Many chemicals are available to remove oil, grease and other residue from the vehicle. Before using cleaning solvents, consider how they will be used and disposed of, particularly if they are not water-soluble. Local ordinances may require special procedures for the disposal of many types of cleaning chemicals. Refer to Safety and Cleaning Parts in this chapter for more information on their use. Use brake parts cleaner to clean brake system components when contact with petroleum-based products will damage seals. Brake parts cleaner leaves no residue. Use electrical contact cleaner to clean electrical connections and components without leaving any residue. Carburetor cleaner is a powerful solvent used to remove fuel deposits and varnish from fuel system components. Use this cleaner carefully, as it may damage finishes. Generally, degreasers are strong cleaners used to remove heavy accumulations of grease from engine and frame components. Most solvents are designed to be used in a parts washing cabinet for individual component cleaning. For safety, use only nonflammable or high flash point solvents. Gasket Sealant Sealants are used in combination with a gasket or seal and are occasionally alone. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation when using sealants. 8 CHAPTER ONE

Use extreme care when choosing a sealant different from the type originally recommended. Choose sealants based on their resistance to heat, various fluids and their sealing capabilities. One of the most common sealants is RTV, or room temperature vulcanizing sealant. This sealant cures at room temperature over a specific time pe- riod. This allows the repositioning of components without damaging gaskets. Moisture in the air causes the RTV sealant to cure. Always install the tube cap as soon as possible after applying RTV sealant. RTV sealant has a lim- ited shelf life and will not cure properly if the shelf life has expired. Keep partial tubes sealed and discard them if they have surpassed the expiration date. Applying RTV sealant Clean all old gasket residue from the mating surfaces. Remove all gasket material from blind threaded holes; it can cause inaccurate bolt torque. Spray the mating surfaces with aerosol parts cleaner and then wipe with a lint-free cloth. The area must be clean for the sealant to adhere. Apply RTV sealant in a continuous bead 2-3 mm (0.08-0.12 in.) thick. Circle all the fastener holes unless otherwise specified. Do not allow any sealant to enter these holes. Assemble and tighten the fasteners to the specified torque within the time frame recommended by the RTV sealant manufacturer. Gasket Remover Aerosol gasket remover can help remove stub- born gaskets. This product can speed up the removal process and prevent damage to the mating surface that may be caused by using a scraping tool. Most of these types of products are very caustic. Follow the gasket remover manufacturer’s instructions for use. Threadlocking Compound A threadlocking compound is a fluid applied to the threads of fasteners. After tightening the fastener, the fluid dries and becomes a solid filler between the threads. This makes it difficult for the fastener to work loose from vibration, or heat ex- pansion and contraction. Some threadlocking compounds also provide a seal against fluid leakage. Before applying threadlocking compound, remove any old compound from both thread areas and clean them with aerosol parts cleaner. Use the compound sparingly. Excess fluid can run into adjoining parts. Threadlocking compounds are available in different strengths. Follow the particular manufacturer’s recommendations regarding compound selection. Two manufacturers of threadlocking compound are ThreeBond and Loctite. They both offer a wide range of compounds for various strength, temperature and repair applications. BASIC TOOLS Most of the procedures in this manual can be car- ried out with simple hand tools and test equipment familiar to the home mechanic. Always use the correct tools for the job at hand. Keep tools organized and clean. Store them in a tool chest with related tools organized together. Quality tools are essential. The best are con- structed of high-strength alloy steel. These tools are light, easy to use and resistant to wear. Their working surface is devoid of sharp edges and the tool is carefully polished. They have an easy-to-clean fin- ish and are comfortable to use. Quality tools are a good investment. When purchasing tools to perform the procedures covered in this manual, consider the tools’ potential frequency of use. If a tool kit is just now being started, consider purchasing a basic tool set (Figure 13) from a large tool supplier. These sets are available in many tool combinations and offer substan- tial savings when compared to individually GENERAL INFORMATION 9 1 13
