RULES OF THE ROAD
•Always sound your horn, use your turn signals and exer-
cise caution when passing other vehicles going in the
same direction. Never pass going in the same direction
at street intersections, on curves or when going up or down
a hill.
•At street intersections, give the right-of-way. Do not pre-
sume you have the right-of-way, as the other driver may
not know that it is your turn.
•Always signal when preparing to stop, turn or pass.
•Promptly obey all traffic signs, including those signs used
for the control of traffic at intersections. Always obey traffic
signs near schools and at railroad crossings.
•When intending to turn, signal at least 30.5 m (100 ft)
before reaching the turning point. If turning across an
intersection, move over to the centerline of the street
(unless local rules require otherwise). Slow down when
entering the intersection and turn carefully.
•Never anticipate a traffic light.When a change is indicated
from GO to STOP (or STOP to GO), slow down and wait
3
SAFETY FIRST
for the light to change. Never run through a yellow or red
traffic light.
•While turning, watch for pedestrians, animals, as well as
vehicles.
•Do not leave the curb or parking area without signaling.
Make sure that your way is clear to enter moving traffic.
A moving line of traffic always has the right-of-way.
•Make sure that your license plate is installed in the position
specified by law. Make sure that your license plate is
always clearly visible. Keep the license plate clean.
•Ride at a safe speed that is consistent with the type of
highway you are on. Pay strict attention to whether the
road is dry, oily, icy or wet.
•Watch for debris such as leaves or loose gravel.
•Weather and traffic conditions on the highway dictate
adjusting your speed and driving habits accordingly.
SAFETY: OPERATING RULES
Harley-Davidson Motorcycles Are for On-Road
Use Only
This motorcycle is not equipped with a spark arrester. This
motorcycle is designed to be used only on the road. Operation
or off-road usage in some areas may be illegal. Obey local
laws and regulations.
General
Consult a Harley-Davidson dealer regarding any questions
or problems that occur in the operation of your motorcycle.
Failure to do so can aggravate an initial problem, cause
costly repairs, cause an accident and could result in death
or serious injury. (00020a)
•Make sure all equipment required by federal, state and
local law is installed and in good operating condition.
•Know and respect the rules of the road. Read the safety
information that is provided by your state or regional traffic
authority.
•In the United States, read the RIDING TIPS booklet that
is provided with this owner's manual. Read the MOTOR-
CYCLE HANDBOOK which is made available by your
state or regional traffic authority.
•Protect your motorcycle against theft. Lock the front fork.
Remove the key when parking your motorcycle.
4 Safety First
Do not add sidecar to this motorcycle. Operating motor-
cycle with sidecar can cause loss of vehicle control, which
could result in death or serious injury. (00590d)
Operation
Before operating your new motorcycle, it is your responsibility
to read and follow the operating and maintenance instructions
in this manual and follow these rules for your personal safety.
Motorcycles are different from other vehicles. They
operate, steer, handle and brake differently. Unskilled or
improper use could result in loss of control, death or ser-
ious injury. (00556c)
•Take a rider training course.
•Read all the owner's manual before riding, adding
accessories or servicing.
•Wear an approved helmet, clothing and foot gear suited
for motorcycle riding. Bright or light colors are best for
greater visibility in traffic, especially at night. Avoid loose,
flowing garments and scarves.
•Never tow a trailer.
•Before starting the engine, review the BEFORE RIDING,
Pre-Ride Checklist.
Striking an object, such as a curb or pothole can cause
internal tire damage. If an object is struck, have the tire
inspected immediately inside and out by a Harley-Davidson
dealer. A damaged tire can fail while riding and adversely
affect stability and handling, which could result in death
or serious injury. (00058b)
Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and
never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive
speed can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result
in death or serious injury. (00008a)
•Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for
existing conditions. Always reduce speed when poor
driving conditions exist. High speed increases the influence
Safety First 5
of any other condition affecting stability and increases the
possibility of loss of control.
•Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions
and keep both hands on the handlebar grips at all times
when riding the motorcycle. Any two wheeled vehicle may
be subject to upsetting forces such as wind blasts from
passing trucks, holes in the pavement, rough road sur-
faces, rider control error, etc. These forces may influence
the handling characteristics of your motorcycle. If this
happens, reduce speed and guide the motorcycle with a
relaxed grip to a controlled condition. Do not brake abruptly
or force the handlebar. This may aggravate an unstable
condition.
•New riders should gain experience under various condi-
tions while riding at moderate speeds.
•Operate your motorcycle defensively. In an accident, a
motorcycle does not afford the same protection as an
automobile.
•It is the rider's responsibility to instruct passengers on
proper riding procedures.
•Do not allow other individuals to operate the motorcycle
unless they are experienced, licensed riders and are
thoroughly familiar with the operation of the motorcycle.
Front and/or rear guard(s) can provide limited leg and
cosmetic vehicle protection under unique circumstances.
(Fall over while stopped, very slow speed slide.) It is not
made or intended to provide protection from bodily injury
in a collision with another vehicle or any other object.
(00022b)
Stability, Steering and Handling
Do not operate vehicle with forks locked. Locking the forks
restricts the vehicle's turning ability, which could result
in death or serious injury. (00035a)
Regularly inspect shock absorbers and front forks. Replace
leaking, damaged or worn parts that can adversely affect
stability and handling, which could result in death or ser-
ious injury. (00012a)
6 Safety First
Do not operate motorcycle with loose, worn or damaged
steering or suspension systems. Contact a Harley-Dav-
idson dealer for repairs. Loose, worn or damaged steering
or suspension components can adversely affect stability
and handling, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00011a)
Do not open storage compartments while riding. Distrac-
tions while riding can lead to loss of control, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00082a)
When riding on wet roads, brake efficiency and traction
are greatly reduced. Failure to use care when braking,
accelerating or turning on wet roads can cause loss of
control, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00041a)
Safety First 7
Cargo and Loading
Do not exceed the motorcycle's Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
Exceeding these weight ratings can lead to component
failure and adversely affect stability, handling and perform-
ance, which could result in death or serious injury. (00016f)
•GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle,
accessories and the maximum weight of the rider, pas-
senger and cargo that can be safely carried.
•The GVWR is shown on the information label, located on
the frame steering head or the frame downtube.
•GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can be
safely carried on each end of the motorcycle.
•For GVWR and GAWR, front and rear, refer to Table 22
•Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcycle
and as low as possible.
•Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the vehicle.
•Do not load bulky items too far behind the rider or add
weight to the handlebars or front forks.
•Do not exceed maximum specified load in each saddlebag
(if equipped).
•Luggage racks (if equipped) are designed for lightweight
items. Do not overload racks.
•Make sure cargo is secure. Make sure the cargo will not
shift while riding and check the cargo periodically.
Accessories that change the operator's riding position may
increase reaction time and affect handling of the motor-
cycle.
•Large surfaces such as fairings, windshields, backrests
and luggage racks (if equipped) can adversely affect on
stability and handling.
Tires
Be sure tires are properly inflated, balanced, undamaged,
and have adequate tread. Inspect your tires regularly and
see a Harley-Davidson dealer for replacements. Riding
with excessively worn, unbalanced, improperly inflated,
overloaded or damaged tires can lead to tire failure and
adversely affect stability and handling, which could result
in death or serious injury. (00014b)
8 Safety First
Replace punctured or damaged tires. In some cases, small
punctures in the tread area may be repaired from within
the removed tire by a Harley-Davidson dealer. Speed
should NOT exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) for the first 24 hours
after repair, and the repaired tire should NEVER be used
over 80 mph (130 km/h). Failure to follow this warning
could lead to tire failure and result in death or serious
injury. (00015b)
Towing and Trailering
Do not pull a trailer with a motorcycle. Pulling a trailer can
cause tire overload, damage and failure, reduced braking
performance, and adversely affect stability and handling,
which could result in death or serious injury. (00018c)
Do not tow a disabled motorcycle. Towing can adversely
affect stability and handling, which could result in death
or serious injury. (00017a)
Never tow a trailer.
Fuel and Exhaust
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)
Avoid spills. Slowly remove filler cap. Do not fill above
bottom of filler neck insert, leaving air space for fuel
expansion. Secure filler cap after refueling. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00028a)
•Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off.
•Remove the fuel filler cap slowly.
•Do not fill fuel tank above the bottom of the filler neck
insert. Leave air space to allow for fuel expansion.
Safety First 9
Avoid contact with exhaust system and wear protective
clothing that completely covers legs while riding. Exhaust
pipes and mufflers get very hot when engine is running
and remain too hot to touch, even after engine is turned
off. Failure to wear protective clothing could result in burns
or other serious injury. (00009a)
Do not run motorcycle in a closed garage or confined area.
Inhaling motorcycle exhaust, which contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas, could result in death or serious
injury. (00005a)
Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. (00004f)
Cooling System
At operating temperature, radiators and oil coolers contain
hot fluids. Contact with a radiator or oil cooler can result
in minor or moderate burns. (00141b)
Coolant mixture contains toxic chemicals, which may be
fatal if swallowed. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting;
call a physician immediately. Use in a well ventilated area.
Irritation to skin or eyes can occur from vapors or direct
contact. In case of skin or eye contact, flush thoroughly
with water and go to hospital, if necessary. Dispose of
used coolant according to federal, state and local regula-
tions. (00092a)
Cooling fans operate automatically, even when the ignition
switch is off. Keep hands away from fan blades. Contact
with a rotating fan blade can result in minor or moderate
injury. (00093a)
10 Safety First
Brakes
Brakes are a critical safety component. Contact a Harley-
Davidson dealer for brake repair or replacement. Improp-
erly serviced brakes can adversely affect brake perform-
ance, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00054a)
Apply front and rear brakes evenly. Favoring one brake
accelerates wear and reduces braking efficiency. Operation
with excessively worn brakes can lead to brake failure,
which could result in death or serious injury. (00135a)
Direct contact of D.O.T. 4 brake fluid with eyes can cause
irritation. Avoid eye contact. In case of eye contact flush
with large amounts of water and get medical attention.
Swallowing large amounts of D.O.T. 4 brake fluid can cause
digestive discomfort. If swallowed, obtain medical atten-
tion. Use in well ventilated area. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN. (00240a)
Battery
Batteries, battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, and other chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling. (00019e)
Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which could cause severe
burns to eyes and skin. Wear a protective face shield,
rubberized gloves and protective clothing when working
with batteries. KEEP BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
(00063a)
Safety First 11
It is possible to overload your vehicle's charging system
by adding too many electrical accessories. If the combined
electrical accessories operating at any one time consume
more electrical current than the vehicle's charging system
can produce, the electrical consumption can discharge
the battery and cause damage to the vehicle's electrical
system. See an authorized Harley-Davidson dealer for
advice about the amount of current consumed by addi-
tional electrical accessories or for necessary wiring
changes. (00211c)
Hazardous Materials
Prolonged or repeated contact with used motor oil may
be harmful to skin and could cause skin cancer. Promptly
wash affected areas with soap and water. (00358b)
Maintenance
Perform the service and maintenance operations as
indicated in the regular service interval table. Lack of
regular maintenance at the recommended intervals can
affect the safe operation of your motorcycle, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00010a)
•A new motorcycle must be operated according to the
special break-in procedure. See BEFORE RIDING, Break-
In Riding Rules.
•Proper care and maintenance, including tire pressure, tire
condition, tread depth and proper adjustment to steering
head bearings are important to stability and safe operation
of the motorcycle. Refer to Table 29.
12 Safety First
Parts and Accessories
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)
•Use only Harley-Davidson approved parts and
accessories. Use of certain other manufacturer's perform-
ance parts will void your new motorcycle warranty. See
your Harley-Davidson dealer for details.
Use Harley-Davidson replacement fasteners. Aftermarket
fasteners can adversely affect performance, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00013a)
•See your Harley-Davidson service manual for proper
torque values.
•Aftermarket fasteners may not have the specific property
requirements to perform properly.
See the Accessories and Cargo section in your owner's
manual. Improper cargo loading or accessory installation
can cause component failure and adversely affect stability,

SECURITY SYSTEM
Components
The security system consists of a control module, a hands-free
antenna mounted on the motorcycle and a hands-free fob
carried by the rider. The security system lamp in the speedo-
meter face indicates when security is armed or disarmed.
See SECURITY SYSTEM, Arming and Disarming.
Options
See a Harley-Davidson dealer or www.harley-davidson.com
for security system options.
SECURITY STATUS INDICATOR
See Figure 7. The security lamp in the speedometer face
indicates the status of the security system.
•Armed: The lamp blinks every few seconds when the
system is armed.
•Disarmed:The lamp will turn off when the system disarms.
•Warning/Alarm: The lamp with stay lit when in a warning
or alarm state. The system is still armed.
•Fob Locator: The lamp will flash quickly when attempting
to locate and connect with the fob.
•Service: See a Harley-Davidson dealer if the lamp remains
lit continuously.

Figure 7. Security Indicator Lamp
ARMING AND DISARMING
Armed
When the motorcycle is parked, motionless and the ignition
switch set to OFF, the security system arms automatically
within 5 seconds.Whether the fob is present or not, the system
will arm.
On arming, the turn signals flash twice and the siren (if
equipped and in chirp mode) chirps twice. While armed, the
indicator in the speedometer face flashes every few seconds.
25
SECURITY SYSTEM
Disarmed
Fob: An armed security system is automatically disarmed when
the fob is present and the ignition switch is set to IGNITION.
NOTE
Movement like lifting the motorcycle off of its jiffy stand or a
NO FOB condition, will cause the system to electronically seek
the presence of the fob. If the fob is present, the system dis-
arms. See OPERATION, Instruments.
When the system disarms, the siren (if equipped and in chirp
mode) chirps once and the security indicator lamp flashes fast
for several seconds then turns off.
Once disarmed, the rider can ride or move the motorcycle for
parking, storage or service without setting off the alarm.
Personal Identification Number (PIN):If the fob is misplaced
or if the fob fails to communicate, the system can be disarmed
with the Personal Identification Number (PIN). Refer to
SECURITY SYSTEM, Personal Identification Number (PIN).
ALARM
Warnings
Once armed, if the motorcycle is moved or lifted up off of its
jiffy stand and the fob is not present, the alarm will warn the
operator with three alternate flashes of the turn signals and a
chirp of the siren (if equipped).
Within four seconds, if the motorcycle is back on its jiffy stand
and no further motion is detected, the system will remain armed
without activating the alarm.
If the motorcycle motion continues, the system will issue a
second warning a few seconds after the first.
NOTE
During warnings and alarms, the starter motor and the ignition
circuits remain disabled.
Alarm Activation
If the security system is still detecting motion after a second
warning, the system will activate the alarm.
When activated, the security system will:
•Alternately flash the four turn signals.
•Sound the siren (if equipped).
Duration: If motorcycle motion is detected the system will
repeat the 30 second alarm and will continue to check for
motion. The alarm will repeat this 30 second alarm cycle for 5
minutes (10 cycles) or until no more motion is detected. The
alarm will then deactivate.
26 Security System
NOTE
The alarm will also activate the LED, vibration or audible modes
of an optionally purchased Harley-Davidson Security Pager.
See a Harley-Davidson dealer for details.
Alarm Deactivation
Key fob: Bring the fob to the motorcycle. After the module
identifies that the fob is present, the system will terminate the
alarm.

Riding with a Fob
•Always carry the fob when riding, loading, fueling, moving,
parking or servicing the motorcycle.
•Do not leave the fob attached to the handlebars or store
the fob in a luggage compartment. Unintentionally leaving
the fob with the motorcycle when it is parked prevents the
system from activating the alarm.
•Do not ride with the fob stored in a metal case or with the
fob closer than 76 mm (3.0 in) to a mobile phone, PDA,
display or other electronic device. Any electromagnetic
interference may prevent the fob from disarming the
system.
•For added security, always lock the fork and remove the
key when parked. If the fob is within range and the
motorcycle is unlocked, tampering with the motorcycle will
not activate the alarm.
Riding without a Fob
If the motorcycle is ridden without the fob in acceptable prox-
imity, the odometer window temporarily displays "NO FOB."
To restart a motorcycle without a fob, disarm the security
system with the PIN.

3. Damaged fob: Use the PIN to disarm the motorcycle.
Replacement fobs are available for purchase from a
Harley-Davidson dealer.
Siren (If equipped)
•If the siren does not chirp two or three times on a valid
arming command from the security module, the siren is
either in the Chirpless Mode, not connected, not working,
or the siren wiring was opened or shorted while the siren
was disarmed.
•If the siren is armed and the internal siren battery is dead,
shorted, disconnected, or has been charging for a period
longer than 24 hours, the siren will respond with three
chirps on arming instead of two.
•The internal siren battery may not charge if the vehicle's
battery is less than 12.5 volts.
•If the siren enters the self-driven mode where it is powered
from the siren's internal 9 volt battery, the turn signal lamps
may or may not alternately flash. If the security module
activates the siren, the turn signal lamps will alternately
flash. If the siren has been armed and a security event
occurs, and the siren is in self-driven mode, the siren will
alarm 20-30 seconds and then turn off for 5-10 seconds.
This alarm cycle will be repeated ten times if the siren is
in the self-driven mode.

BREAK-IN RIDING RULES
The First 800 Kilometers (500 Miles)
The sound design, quality materials, and workmanship that
are built into your new Harley-Davidson will give you optimum
performance.
To allow your engine to break-in in its critical parts, we
recommend that you observe the riding rules provided below
for the first 800 km (500 mi). Adhering to these rules will pro-
mote future durability and performance of the motorcycle.
1. During the first 80 km (50 mi) of riding, keep the engine
speed below 5000 rpm in any gear. Do not labor the
engine by running or accelerating at very low RPM, or by
running at high rpm longer than needed for shifting or
passing.
2. Up to 800 km (500 mi), vary the engine speed and avoid
operating at any steady engine speed for long periods.
Engine speed up to 7000 rpm in any gear is permissible.
3. Drive slowly and avoid fast starts at wide open throttle
until the engine has warmed up.
4. Avoid hard braking. New brakes need to be worn in by
moderate use for the first 160 km (100 mi).
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
Avoid spills. Slowly remove filler cap. Do not fill above
bottom of filler neck insert, leaving air space for fuel
expansion. Secure filler cap after refueling. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00028a)
36 Before Riding
Use care when refueling. Pressurized air in fuel tank can
force gasoline to escape through filler tube. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00029a)
Removing Fuel Filler Cap
1. See Figure 11. Insert the ignition key into the key slot (2).
NOTE
The cap pops up as the key is turned.
2. Turn the key clockwise.
3. Remove the filler cap.
Do not spill fuel onto the motorcycle while refueling.
Immediately wipe up fuel spills on your motorcycle. Fuel
can cause damage to cosmetic surfaces. (00147b)
4. Fill the tank. Use only recommended fuel. See BEFORE
RIDING, Fuel System Information.
Installing Fuel Filler Cap
Do not use aftermarket fuel caps. Aftermarket fuel caps
may fit improperly and leak, which could lead to death or
serious injury. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for approved
fuel caps. (00034a)
NOTE
The arrow on the cap points to an index tab on the cap. The
index tab aligns with a slot in the fuel opening in the tank.
1. Install the fuel filler cap with alignment arrow (1) pointing
toward the front.
2. Press down around the cap to compress the cap spring.
3. Turn the ignition key counterclockwise to lock the cap.

FUEL SYSTEM INFORMATION
Gasoline
Your motorcycle was designed to get the best performance
and efficiency using unleaded gasoline. Most gasoline is
blended with alcohol and/or ether to create oxygenated blends.
The type and amount of alcohol or ether added to the fuel is
important.
Do not use gasoline that contains methanol. Doing so can
result in fuel system component failure, engine damage
and/or equipment malfunction. (00148a)
Use only unleaded fuel in catalytic converter-equipped
motorcycles. Using leaded fuel will damage the emission
control system. (00150b)
•Gasoline/METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE)
blends are a mixture of gasoline and as much as 15%
38 Before Riding
MTBE. Gasoline/MTBE blends use in your motorcycle is
approved.
•ETHANOL fuel is a mixture of ethanol (grain alcohol) and
unleaded gasoline and can have an impact on fuel
mileage. Fuels with an ethanol content of up to 10% may
be used in your motorcycle without affecting vehicle per-
formance. U.S. EPA regulations currently indicate that
fuels with 15% ethanol (E15) are restricted from use in
motorcycles at the time of this publication. Some motor-
cycles are calibrated to operate with higher ethanol con-
centrations to meet the fuel standards in certain countries.
•REFORMULATED OR OXYGENATED GASOLINES
(RFG) describes gasoline blends that are specifically
designed to burn cleaner than other types of gasoline.
This results in fewer tailpipe emissions. They are also
formulated to evaporate less when filling the tank. Refor-
mulated gasolines use additives to oxygenate the gas.
Your motorcycle will run normally using this type of fuel.
Harley-Davidson recommends using it whenever possible
as an aid to cleaner air in our environment.
•Do not use racing fuel or fuel containing methanol. Use
of these fuels will damage the fuel system.
•The only octane booster Harley-Davidson recommends
is SCREAMIN' EAGLE SUPER OCTANE BOOST (avail-
able only in the U.S.).This is the only octane booster that
has been extensively tested and approved for use with
Harley-Davidson engines and components.
•Some gasoline blends might adversely affect starting,
driveability or fuel efficiency. If any of these problems are
experienced, try a different brand of gasoline or gasoline
with a higher octane blend.
Air entrapment and pressurization is a possibility.
Table 4. Minimum Octane Ratings
RATINGSPECIFICATION
87 (91 RON)Pump Octane (R+M)/2
Catalytic Converter
Vehicles in some markets are equipped with catalytic con-
verters.
Do not operate catalytic converter-equipped vehicle with
engine misfire. If you operate the vehicle under this condi-
tion, the exhaust will become abnormally hot, which can
cause vehicle damage, including emission control loss.
(00149c)
Before Riding 39
ADJUSTING MIRRORS
Objects in mirrors are closer than they appear. Use caution
when judging distance of objects in mirrors. Failure to
judge correct distances could result in death or serious
injury. (00033a)
Adjust mirrors so you can see a small portion of your shoulders
in each mirror.This will help you establish the relative distance
of vehicles to the rear of your motorcycle.
OPERATING JIFFY STAND
Location
Be sure jiffy stand is fully retracted before riding. If jiffy
stand is not fully retracted, it can contact the road surface
causing a loss of vehicle control, which could result in
death or serious injury. (00007a)
See Figure 6. The jiffy stand (5) is located on the left side of
the motorcycle.
Jiffy Stand Switch: International Models
Some international models have a jiffy stand interlock switch.
The motorcycle will start and run with the jiffy stand down while
the transmission is in neutral. If the jiffy stand is down and the
transmission in gear, engaging the clutch stalls the motorcycle.
Raising the jiffy stand or putting the transmission in neutral will
permit the engine to run.
If the jiffy stand lowers at a speed greater than 15 km/h (10
mph), the engine will continue to run and the rider may continue
to ride while in this mode.
Always park motorcycle on a level, firm surface. An
unbalanced motorcycle can fall over, which could result
in death or serious injury. (00039a)
ADJUSTING SHOCK ABSORBERS
General
Adjust the rear shock absorber spring preload for the weight
the motorcycle is to carry. Notice the adjustment settings as
you turn the collar.
Adjust both shocks the same number of turns.
40 Before Riding
Adjustment
Adjust both shock absorbers equally. Improper adjustment
can adversely affect stability and handling, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00036b)
Do not turn the shock absorber adjustment collar clock-
wise beyond adjustment setting 5. Doing so may result in
equipment damage. (00166b)
NOTE
See Figure 12. Do not turn the preload cam from position five
(5) to position one (1) or from position one (1) to position five
(5).
1. Put the SPANNER WRENCH (Part No. HD-51439) around
the lower collar of the shock absorber.
2. Turn the spring adjusting cam to the desired position.
When returning to off-cam position, back the cams off in
the opposite direction.
a. Turn the collar toward higher numbers to increase
the preload. Refer to Table 5.
b. Turn the collar toward the lower numbers to decrease
the preload.

See Figure 21. Street models with the ABS option can be
identified by the ABS module (EHCU) mounted at the lower
left front corner in front of the radiator.
Operation 53

Figure 21. ABS Module (EHCU)
BRAKE SYSTEM
Front Brake Lever
Do not position fingers between hand control lever and
handlebar grip. Improper hand positioning can impair
control lever operation and cause loss of vehicle control,
which could result in death or serious injury. (00032a)
The front brake hand lever controls the front wheel brake and
is located on the right handlebar. Operate the hand lever with
the fingers of the right hand.
Rear Brake Pedal
The rear brake pedal controls the rear wheel brake and is loc-
ated on the right side. Operate the rear brake pedal with the
right foot.
Non-ABS Brake System
Apply brakes uniformly and evenly to prevent wheels from
locking. Use front and rear brakes equally for best results.
54 Operation
Do not apply brake strongly enough to lock the wheel. A
locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol, which could result in death or serious injury. (00053a)
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The optional Harley-Davidson anti-lock brake system assists
the rider in maintaining control when braking in a straight-line
emergency situation. ABS operates independently on front and
rear brakes to keep the wheels rolling and prevent uncontrolled
wheel lock-ups either on dry pavement or on slick surfaces
such as gravel, leaves or when riding in wet conditions.
How ABS Works
The ABS monitors sensors at the front and rear wheels to
determine wheel speed. If the system detects one or both
wheels are slowing down too quickly, which indicates they are
close to locking, the ABS reacts. If the deceleration rate does
not match a criteria stored in memory, the ABS also reacts.
The system rapidly opens and closes valves to modulate the
brake caliper pressure utilizing only the brake lever/pedal
pressure being applied by the rider. During ABS activation, the
system provides the electronic equivalent of manually pumping
the brakes. ABS is capable of cycling up to seven times per
second.
The rider will recognize ABS activation by the slight pulsing
sensation in the hand lever or the rear brake pedal.The pulsing
sensation may also be accompanied by a clicking sound from
the ABS module. Both are the result of normal operation. Refer
to Table 10.
How To Use ABS
While an advantage in emergency braking, ABS is not a sub-
stitute for safe riding. The safest way to stop a motorcycle is
upright with both wheels straight.
Harley-Davidson ABS is a manual assist system. When stop-
ping in an emergency stopping situation, maintain pressure on
the brakes through all ABS events. Do not modulate or "pump"
the brake controls.The wheels will not lock until the end of the
stop when motorcycle speed reaches approximately 6 km/h (4
mph) and ABS is no longer needed.
Operation 55
ABS cannot prevent lockup of rear wheel due to engine
braking. ABS will not aid in cornering or on loose/uneven
surfaces. A locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of
vehicle control, which could result in death or serious
injury. (00362a)
ABS:Tires and Wheels
Motorcycles equipped with ABS must always use Harley-Dav-
idson tires and wheels.The ABS monitors the rotational speed
of the wheels through individual wheel speed sensors. Chan-
ging to different diameter wheels or different-sized tires can
alter the rotational speed.This can upset the calibration of the
ABS and have an adverse effect on its ability to detect and
prevent uncontrolled wheel lockups. Operating at tire pressures
other than those specified in Table 21 can reduce ABS braking
performance.
Table 10. ABS Symptoms and Conditions
CONDITIONSYMPTOM
ABS malfunction detected. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.ABS lamp continuously lit
This indicates a normal self-diagnostics process when the motorcycle is first turned
on and the speed is under 5 km/h (3 mph). ABS is not operational until the lamp turns
off. If the lamp continues flashing at speeds greater than 5 km/h (3 mph), see a Harley-
Davidson dealer for service.

CONDITIONSYMPTOM
Normal condition. This is most noticeable when braking with one brake (front only or
rear only). Result of a reduction in deceleration which can be caused by cracks or
bumps in road, engine braking (high engine RPMs causing the rear wheel to slow
down), hard braking at slow speeds, and other conditions. This is due to ABS modu-
lating caliper brake pressure to prevent uncontrolled wheel lock.
"Surge" sensation while braking
Normal condition. Engine braking (high engine RPMs causing the rear wheel to slow
down) or down shifting can activate ABS. If applying the rear brake at the same time
or immediately after, the ABS may be closing a valve to prevent pressure to the rear
brake. This is due to ABS modulating caliper brake pressure to prevent uncontrolled
wheel lock.
Temporarily stiff rear brake pedal
Normal condition. Depending on surface, tire can chirp without locking the wheel.Tire chirp
Normal condition. Depending on surface, tire can leave a black mark without locking

STORING MOTORCYCLE
If the motorcycle will not be operated for several months, take
steps to protect the motorcycle. Always protect parts against
corrosion, preserve the battery and prevent the build-up of gum
and varnish in the fuel before storage.
Make a list of everything you do and fasten it to a handlebar
grip. When you take the motorcycle out of storage, this list is
your reference/checklist to get your motorcycle in operating
condition.
Do not store motorcycle with gasoline in tank within the
home or garage where open flames, pilot lights, sparks or
electric motors are present. Gasoline is extremely flam-
mable and highly explosive, which could result in death
or serious injury. (00003a)
1. Fill fuel tank. Add a gasoline stabilizer. Use one of the
commercially available gasoline stabilizers and follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
2. Warm motorcycle to operating temperature. Change oil
and turn engine over to circulate the new oil. See
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, Changing Engine Oil and
Filter.

on chrome or painted parts.
2. Apply WHEEL & TIRE CLEANER. Allow cleaner to set for
one minute.
3. Clean the wheel with a BUG EATER SPONGE or WHEEL
& SPOKE BRUSH. Thoroughly scrub all brake dust and
other sediments off the wheel. Accumulated brake dust
can trap moisture and dirt, which leads to wheel corrosion.
4. Rinse well.
Washing the Motorcycle
NOTE
See the appropriate instructions in this section for cleaning
leather, denim (flat) finishes, windshields or other special sur-
faces.
1. If necessary, use BUG REMOVER to remove bug splat-
ters.
a. Rinse the affected surfaces during preparation.
b. Spray the area with BUG REMOVER.
c. Wait one minute while the BUG REMOVER penet-
rates the bug splatters.
d. Use the BUG EATER SPONGE while washing to
easily remove bugs.
2. Prepare the wash.
a. Fill a HARLEY WASH BUCKET with clean water.
b. Add SUNWASH BIKE SOAP, following the directions
on the package.
c. Soak the WASH MITT and/or a BUG EATER
SPONGE in the SUNWASH solution.
74 After Riding
3. Wash all surfaces starting at the top working down toward
the ground.
4. Rinse the motorcycle twice in both directions:
a. Rinse from the bottom up.
b. Rinse from the top down.
Drying the Motorcycle
1. Dry the surfaces from the top down using a SYNTHETIC
DRYING CHAMOIS or a HOG BLASTER MOTORCYCLE
DRYER. Avoid using any type of forced air on speakers
or other sensitive components.
2. Dampen chamois in clean water and wring out the excess.
The chamois is more absorbent when wet.
3. Wipe across the vehicle surface.
4. Repeat as necessary until surface is dry.
Polishing and Sealing
NOTE
If motorcycle has denim finish, skip the Polishing and Sealing
procedure.
1. Apply GLAZE POLY SEALANT with a DISPOSABLE
DETAILING SOFT CLOTH or MICROFIBER DETAILING
CLOTH, following the instructions on the package.
2. Buff with a DISPOSABLE DETAILING SOFT CLOTH.
3. Polish and seal the wheels to prevent corrosion.
LEATHER AND VINYL CARE
Do not use bleach or detergents containing bleach on
saddlebags, seats, tank panels or painted surfaces. Doing
so can result in equipment damage. (00229a)
Do not use ordinary soap to clean leather or fur. It could dry
or remove the oils from the leather.
Leather, vinyl and other synthetic surfaces must be periodically
cleaned and treated to maintain its appearance and extend its
life. Clean and treat these surfaces once a season or more
frequently under adverse conditions.
These surfaces are not designed for long-term exposure to
inclement weather. Protect these surfaces with a Harley-Dav-
idson Seat Rain Cover or Motorcycle Storage Cover (sold
separately).
1. Vacuum or blow dust off surface.
After Riding 75
2. Thoroughly clean surfaces with SEAT, SADDLEBAG &
TRIM CLEANER, following directions on the bottle.
3. Allow the material to dry naturally and completely at room
temperature before applying other products to the material.
Do not use artificial means to dry the material quickly.
4. For leather only, rejuvenate faded black surfaces with
BLACK LEATHER REJUVENATOR, and apply LEATHER
PROTECTANT to weatherproof and preserve the leather.
NOTE
Many Harley-Davidson accessories and seats are made of
either treated or untreated leather or have leather inserts.
Natural materials age differently and require different care than
man-made materials. Seat covers and panels made of leather
gain "character", such as wrinkles, with age. Leather is porous
and organic. Each leather product settles into its own distinct
form with use.Your leather product matures into its own custom
shape and style from the sun, rain and time. This maturing is
natural and enhances the custom quality of your Harley-Dav-
idson motorcycle.
DENIM FINISH
Some motorcycles have a denim (flat or matte) finish. The
denim finish has qualities which differ from high gloss finishes
on all other Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Like denim fabric,
denim paint will burnish or mar with age and use, thus adding
character and personality to the finish. For recommended
products, refer to Table 14.
•If scratched, the color coat of paint does nick/scuff and
these marks cannot be rubbed out.
•If polished, the finish will become less matte and more
glossy over time.
Cleaning Denim Finish
For Light deposits: Use DENIM PAINT CLEANER and a
SOFTCLOTH.
For heavier deposits: Use either SUNWASH BIKE SOAP
and a clean H-D WASH MITT or QUICK WASH. Rinse thor-
oughly with clean water.
76 After Riding
MAINTENANCE
Perform the service and maintenance operations as
indicated in the regular service interval table. Lack of
regular maintenance at the recommended intervals can
affect the safe operation of your motorcycle, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00010a)
If you operate your motorcycle under adverse conditions
(severe cold, extreme heat, very dusty environment, very
bad roads, through standing water, etc.), you should per-
form the regular maintenance intervals more frequently
to ensure the safe operation of your motorcycle. Failure
to maintain your motorcycle could result in death or ser-
ious injury. (00094a)
Service your motorcycle at the regular service intervals. Road
conditions like dust, rain or riding styles can require servicing
the motorcycle at more frequent intervals. Refer to Table 29.
Though some of these procedures can be performed with a
minimum of tools, always consult your Harley-Davidson dealer
for updates. Remember, your authorized Harley-Davidson
dealer always services your motorcycle with the latest factory
approved methods and equipment.
Record each service to maintain the new motorcycle warranty.
Refer to Table 30.
PREPARING THE MOTORCYCLE FOR
MAINTENANCE
Be sure to check capacity rating and condition of hoists,
slings, chains and cables before use. Exceeding capacity
ratings or using lifting devices that are in poor condition
can lead to an accident, which could result in death or
serious injury. (00466c)
NOTE
Always support a motorcycle that is being serviced with blocks
or stands.
Setting Motorcycle Upright
1. Place motorcycle upright on a level surface or suitable lift,
if available.

INSPECTING BRAKE PADS AND DISCS
Brake Pads
Harley-Davidson has provided your new motorcycle with the
optimum brake pad friction material available. It is selected to
give the best performance possible under dry, wet and high
operating temperature conditions. It exceeds all regulatory
requirements currently in effect. However, during some braking
conditions you may experience noise. This is normal for this
friction material.
Always replace brake pads in complete sets for correct
and safe brake operation. Improper brake operation could
result in death or serious injury. (00111a)
1. Check the brake disc as it spins.The disc should run true
in the brake caliper.
2. See Figure 28. Measure the thickness of the brake pad
friction material.
NOTE
The pads do not necessarily wear evenly. The grooves on the
brake pads are no longer visible when the pads are near the
end of service life.
3. Refer to Table 17. If the brake pad friction material is at
the minimum thickness or less, replace the pads. Always
replace brake pads in pairs. See a Harley-Davidson dealer.

COOLANT
General
Use only Genuine Harley-Davidson Extended Life Anti-
freeze and Coolant. Use of other coolants/mixtures may
lead to engine damage. (00179b)
GENUINE HARLEY-DAVIDSON EXTENDED LIFE ANTI-
FREEZE AND COOLANT is pre-diluted and ready to use full
strength. It provides temperature protection to -36.7° C (-34°
F). DO NOT add water.
De-ionized water must be used with the antifreeze in the
cooling system. Hard water can cause scale accumulation
in water passages which reduces cooling system effi-
ciency, leading to overheating and engine damage.
(00195a)
If GENUINE HARLEY-DAVIDSON EXTENDED LIFE ANTI-
FREEZE AND COOLANT is unavailable, a mixture of de-ion-
ized water and ethylene glycol-based antifreeze may be used.

to the correct wheel. Contact a Harley-Davidson dealer.
Mismatching can lead to tire damage, allow tire slippage
on the wheel or cause tire failure, which could result in
death or serious injury. (00023c)
Harley-Davidson recommends the use of its specified tires.
This vehicle is not designed for operation with non-spe-
cified tires, including snow, moped and other special-use
tires. Use of non-specified tires can adversely affect sta-
bility, handling or braking and lead to loss of vehicle con-
trol, which could result in death or serious injury. (00024c)
Harley-Davidson front and rear tires are not the same.
Interchanging front and rear tires can cause tire failure,
which could result in death or serious injury. (00026a)
Refer to Table 21 for tire information and pressures.
•Maintain correct tire pressure.
•Follow tire data for correct cold tire inflation pressure.
•Check before riding when tires are cold.
Harley-Davidson does not perform any testing with only
nitrogen in tires. Harley-Davidson neither recommends nor
discourages the use of pure nitrogen to inflate tires.
India Tire Compliance Statement: Harley-Davidson Motor
Company declares that the tires listed in the specifications
section (India only) meet the Indian Standard 15627 require-
ment of the Bureau of Indian Standards (as amended from
time to time) required for registration of vehicles
assembled/manufactured in India.These tires also comply with
the Central Motor Vehicle Rules requirements, 1989.
Inspecting Tires
Harley-Davidson tires are equipped with wear bars that run
horizontally across the tread.
A tire is considered worn when the wear bars are visible or if
only 0.8 mm (0.031 in) tread depth remains. A worn tire can:
•Be more easily damaged leading to tire failure.
•Provide reduced traction.
•Adversely affect stability and handling.

Replacing Tires
Tires are a critical safety component. Contact a Harley-
Davidson dealer for tire repair or replacement. Improper
tire service can adversely affect stability and handling,
which could result in death or serious injury. (00057a)
Replace punctured or damaged tires. In some cases, small
punctures in the tread area may be repaired from within
the removed tire by a Harley-Davidson dealer. Speed
should NOT exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) for the first 24 hours
after repair, and the repaired tire should NEVER be used
over 80 mph (130 km/h). Failure to follow this warning
could lead to tire failure and result in death or serious
injury. (00015b)
Replace tire immediately with a Harley-Davidson specified
tire when wear bars become visible or only 1/32 in (0.8
mm) tread depth remains. Riding with a worn tire could
result in death or serious injury. (00090c)
Service Procedures 99
New tires are needed if any of the following conditions exist
(refer to Table 21 for the specified replacement tires):
•Tread wear bars become visible on the tread surfaces.
•Tire cords or fabric become visible through cracked side-
walls, snags or deep cuts.
•Bumps, bulges or slits in the tire.
•Punctures, cuts, or other damage to the tire that cannot
be repaired.
When installing tires on rims, do not rely on tread design to
determine direction of rotation. Always be sure the rotational
arrows molded into the sidewalls point in the direction of rota-
tion when the vehicle is moving forward.
LUBRICATION
Engine Lubrication
Prolonged or repeated contact with used motor oil may
be harmful to skin and could cause skin cancer. Promptly
wash affected areas with soap and water. (00358b)
If engine oil is swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Contact
a physician immediately. In case of contact with eyes,
immediately flush with water. Contact a physician if irrita-
tion persists. (00357d)
Do not switch lubricant brands indiscriminately because
some lubricants interact chemically when mixed. Use of
inferior lubricants can damage the engine. (00184a)
Always use the proper grade of oil for the lowest temperature
expected before the next scheduled oil change. Refer to
Table 19.
This motorcycle was originally equipped with GENUINE
HARLEY-DAVIDSON H-D 360 MOTORCYCLE OIL 20W50.
H-D 360 is the preferred oil under normal operating conditions.
If operation under extreme cold or heat are expected, refer to
Table 19 for alternative choices.
If necessary and H-D 360 is not available, add oil certified for
diesel engines. Acceptable designations include: CH-4, CI-4
and CJ-4. The preferred viscosities, in descending order are:
20W50, 15W40 and 10W40.
100 Service Procedures
At the first opportunity, see an authorized dealer to change back to 100 percent Harley-Davidson oil.

Motorcycle Oil
Low Temperature Lubrication
Change engine oil often in colder climates. If motorcycle is
frequently ridden less than 24 km (15 mi), in ambient temper-
atures below 16 °C (60 °F), reduce oil change intervals to 2400
km (1500 mi).
NOTE
Lower ambient temperatures require more frequent oil changes.
Water vapor is a normal by-product of combustion. During cold-
weather operation, some water vapor condenses to liquid form
on the cool surfaces inside the engine. In freezing weather,
this water becomes slush or ice. If the engine is not warmed
to operating temperature, accumulated slush or ice blocks the
oil lines and causes engine damage. Over time, water will
accumulate, mix with the engine oil and form a sludge that is
harmful to the engine.
If the engine is allowed to warm to normal operating temper-
ature, most of the water evaporates and exits through the
crankcase breather.
Service Procedures 101
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Battery Safety
Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which could cause severe
burns to eyes and skin. Wear a protective face shield,
rubberized gloves and protective clothing when working
with batteries. KEEP BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
(00063a)
Explosive hydrogen gas, which escapes during charging,
could cause death or serious injury. Charge battery in a
well-ventilated area. Keep open flames, electrical sparks
and smoking materials away from battery at all times.
KEEP BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN. (00065a)
Batteries, battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, and other chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling. (00019e)
Never remove warning label attached to top of battery.
Failure to read and understand all precautions contained
in warning, could result in death or serious injury. (00064a)
The motorcycle uses a permanently sealed, maintenance-free,
lead/calcium and sulfuric acid battery. All batteries are shipped
precharged and ready for service. Do not attempt to open the
battery for any reason.
Cleaning and Inspecting
Battery top must be clean and dry. Dirt and electrolyte on top
of the battery can cause battery to self-discharge.
1. Clean top of battery.
2. Clean cable connectors and battery terminals using a wire
brush or fine grit sandpaper to remove any oxidation.
102 Service Procedures
3. Inspect and clean the battery screws, clamps and cables.
Check for breakage, loose connections and corrosion.
4. Check the battery posts for melting or damage caused by
over-tightening.
5. Inspect the battery for discoloration, a raised top or a
warped or distorted case. Any of these conditions indicate
that the battery has been frozen, overheated or over-
charged.
6. Inspect the battery case for cracks or leaks.
Storing the Battery
If the motorcycle will not be operated for several weeks, remove
the battery from the motorcycle and fully charge.
If the motorcycle is stored with the battery installed, connect
an automatic, constant monitoring charger/tender to maintain
charge. See an authorized dealer.
A battery that is removed from the motorcycle can self-dis-
charge. A battery that is left in the motorcycle can either self-
discharge or discharge from parasitic loads. Parasitic loads
occur from things like diode leakage and maintaining computer
memory.
•Batteries self-discharge at a faster rate at higher ambient
temperatures.
•To reduce the self-discharge rate, store battery in a cool,
dry place.
•Charge the battery every two weeks if stored in the vehicle.
•Charge the battery once per month if stored out of the
vehicle. See Charging Battery.
Charging Battery
Unplug or turn OFF battery charger before connecting
charger cables to battery. Connecting cables with charger
ON can cause a spark and battery explosion, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00066a)
An automatic, constant monitoring battery charger/tender with
a charging rate of 5 amps or less at less than 14.6 volts is
recommended.The use of constant current chargers (including
trickle chargers) to charge sealed AGM batteries is not
recommended. Any overcharge will cause dry-out and prema-
ture battery failure. Never charge a battery without first
Service Procedures 103
reviewing the instructions for the charger being used. In addition
to the manufacturer's instructions, follow the general safety
precautions.
Charge the battery when:
•Motorcycle lights appear dim.
•Electric starter sounds weak.
•Battery has not been used for an extended period.
1. Perform a voltage test to determine the state of charge. If
battery needs to be charged, proceed to the next step.
2. Place the battery on a level surface.
Do not reverse the charger connections described in the
following steps or the charging system of the motorcycle
could be damaged. (00214a)
3. Connect the red battery charger lead to the positive ter-
minal of the battery.
4. Connect the black battery charger lead to the negative
terminal of the battery.
NOTE
If the battery is still in the motorcycle, connect the negative
lead to the chassis ground. Make sure that the ignition and all
electrical accessories are turned off.
5. Step away from the battery and turn on the charger.
Unplug or turn OFF battery charger before disconnecting
charger cables from battery. Disconnecting clamps with
charger ON can cause a spark and battery explosion, which
could result in death or serious injury. (00067a)
6. After the battery is fully charged, turn OFF the charger
and disconnect the black battery charger lead from the
negative terminal of the battery.
7. Disconnect the red battery charger lead from the positive
terminal of the battery.
8. Mark the charging date on the battery.
Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) Battery Charging
Information
The motorcycle has a sealed Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) bat-
tery design that is superior to conventional flooded lead acid
batteries. This battery design will provide many years of
104 Service Procedures
dependable service when the proper battery charging equip-
ment and storage procedures are used. Because of the sealed,
nonspillable battery design, an automatic, constant monitoring
battery charger that uses a charging rate of less than 14.6 volts
is required to prevent overcharging conditions that will dry out
the cells of the battery. Constant current battery chargers
(including trickle chargers) can damage AGM batteries.
To maintain a full charge between rides, a Harley-Davidson
constant monitoring battery charger or tender is recommended
when your motorcycle will not be ridden for more than two
weeks, with the best practice of installing the charger any time
the motorcycle is not in use. Harley-Davidson offers the 750mA
SUPERSMART BATTERY TENDER (94654-98B, North
America) and 800mA WATERPROOF BATTERY TENDER
(international versions available).These battery tenders include
a quick disconnect cable, allowing easy connection to charge
the battery without disassembly of the motorcycle.
Lack of regular battery charging or use of constant current
battery chargers may void battery warranty.
Voltage Test
1. Check the voltage of the battery to verify that it is in a 100
percent fully charged condition.
2. If the open circuit (disconnected) voltage reading is below
12.7 V, charge the battery.
3. Check the voltage again after one to two hours.
BATTERY TENDER CONNECTOR
See Figure 38. Maintaining the battery between rides and while
stored can maintain battery charge and extend the life of the
battery. Connect the battery tender connector to a battery
tender during storage or to a battery charger if the battery
voltage drop below specification. See SERVICE PROCED-
URES, Battery Maintenance
Remove the left side cover to access the connector. Remove
the connector cap. Connect the battery through the connector
to an automatic, constant monitoring battery charger/tender.
The connector is compatible with all Harley-Davidson battery
tender/chargers.
When removing the tender/charger, replace the connector cap
to prevent moisture damage when not in use.

Some countries, states or other locations may require all regular
maintenance and service work to be done by an authorized
Harley-Davidson dealer for your limited warranty to remain in
effect. Check with your authorized Harley-Davidson dealer for

may void all or parts of your limited warranty. See an authorized
Harley-Davidson dealer for details.
Harley-Davidson authorized dealerships are independently
owned and operated and may sell parts and accessories that
are not manufactured or approved by Harley-Davidson for use
on your motorcycle. Therefore, you should understand that

quality, suitability or safety of any non-Harley-Davidson part,
accessory or design modification, including labor, which may
be sold and/or installed by authorized Harley-Davidson dealer-
ships.
Keeping it All Harley-Davidson

The system requires a small amount of maintenance. Period-
ically inspect system to verify that hoses are properly routed,
not kinked or blocked and that all fittings are secure. Periodic-
ally check mounting hardware for tightness.

WARRANTY/SERVICE INFORMATION
Any authorized Harley-Davidson dealer may provide warranty
repair work on your motorcycle. The fact that an authorized
134 Warranties
Harley-Davidson dealership performs warranty repairs does
not create an agency relationship between Harley-Davidson
and the authorized dealership. If you have any questions
regarding warranty obligations contact your authorized Harley-
Davidson dealer.
For normal service work or warranty work under the above
conditions, you may obtain the name and location of your
nearest U.S. authorized Harley-Davidson dealer by calling 1-
800-258-2464 (U.S. only). To find dealers worldwide, see

Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Harley-Davidson.
NHTSA Statement
If you believe that your motorcycle has a defect which could
cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should
immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Harley-Dav-
idson.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investig-
ation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of
motorcycles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual prob-
lems between you, your authorized Harley-Davidson dealer,
or Harley-Davidson.
You can contact NHTSA through the following means. Addi-
tional information about motor vehicle safety is available

This warranty does not mean that each Harley-Davidson
motorcycle is free from defects. Defects may be unintentionally
introduced into motorcycles during the design and manufac-
turing processes and such defects could result in the need for
repairs. For this reason, Harley-Davidson provides the Limited
Warranty in order to remedy any such defects that result in a
component malfunction or failure during the warranty period.
The remedy under this written warranty, and any implied war-
ranty, is limited to repair, replacement or adjustment of the
defective part. This exclusive remedy shall not be deemed to
have failed its essential purpose so long as Harley-Davidson,
through its authorized dealers, is willing and able to repair,
replace or adjust defective parts in the prescribed manner.
Harley-Davidson's liability, if any, shall in no event exceed the
cost of correcting any defect as herein provided and upon
expiration of this warranty, any such liability shall terminate.
2017 HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE
LIMITED WARRANTY
24 Months/Unlimited Miles
Harley-Davidson warrants for any new 2017 Harley-Davidson
motorcycle that an authorized Harley-Davidson dealer will
repair or replace without charge any parts found under normal
use to be defective in factory materials or workmanship. Such
repair or replacement of defective parts will be Harley-Dav-
idson's sole obligation and your sole and exclusive remedy
under this limited warranty. This limited warranty applies only
for the duration identified below.
No person, including Harley-Davidson dealers, may modify,
extend or waive any part of this warranty.
As a condition of this warranty, you are responsible for properly
using, maintaining, and caring for your motorcycle as outlined
in your Owner Manual. Harley-Davidson recommends that you
maintain copies of all maintenance records and receipts.
THERE IS NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY (OTHER THAN
THE SEPARATE EMISSIONS, NOISE, AND RADIO LIMITED
WARRANTIES) ON THE MOTORCYCLE. Any implied warranty
of merchantability or fitness for particular purpose is limited to
the duration of the express warranty, or to the duration set forth
in your state's warranty statutes, whichever is shorter. Any
implied warranty is not transferred to subsequent pur-
chasers/buyers of the motorcycle.
The implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose does
not apply if your motorcycle is used for racing, even if the
motorcycle is equipped for racing.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
Warranties 137
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, NEITHER
HARLEY-DAVIDSON NOR ITS AUTHORIZED DEALERS
SHALL BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF TIME, INCONVENIENCE,
LOSS OF MOTORCYCLE USE, COMMERCIAL LOSS OR

time or income that you lose, any inconvenience, the loss of
your transportation or use of your motorcycle, the cost of a
rental motorcycle, fuel, travel, meals, or lodging, or for any

unless applicable law prohibits their disclaimer. You may not
bring any warranty-related claim as a class representative, a
private attorney general, a member of a class of claimants or
in any other representative capacity. Harley-Davidson shall
not be liable for any damages caused by delay in delivery or
furnishing of any products and/or services.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion
may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state.
The following terms and conditions apply to this limited war-
ranty:
Duration
1. The duration of this limited warranty is twenty-four months,

1. Authorized Harley-Davidson dealers are independently
owned and operated and may sell non-Harley-Davidson

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY, QUALITY, OR
SUITABILITY OF ANY NON-HARLEY-DAVIDSON PART,
ACCESSORY OR DESIGN MODIFICATION INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LABOR WHICH MAY BE SOLD
AND/OR INSTALLED BY AUTHORIZED HARLEY-DAV-

2. This limited warranty is a contract between you and Harley-
Davidson. It is separate and apart from any warranty you

idson dealer. An authorized Harley-Davidson dealer is not
authorized to alter, modify, expand, or in any way change
the terms and conditions of this limited warranty.
3. Any warranty work or parts replacement authorized by
Harley-Davidson will not preclude Harley-Davidson from
later relying on any exclusion where applicable.
4. Harley-Davidson and its authorized dealers reserve the
right to modify or service motorcycles designed and man-
ufactured by Harley-Davidson at any time without incurring
any additional obligation to make the same alteration or
change to a motorcycle previously built and sold. Harley-
Davidson reserves the right to provide post-warranty
repairs, conduct repair campaigns, offer good-will or cus-
tomer satisfaction repairs or extend the warranty coverage
for certain motorcycles at its sole discretion. Said repairs
or extensions of warranty coverage in no way obligates
Harley-Davidson to provide similar accommodations to
other owners of similar motorcycles. Sometimes Harley-
Davidson may offer a special adjustment program to pay
all or part of the cost of certain repairs beyond the terms
of your limited warranty. Check with your authorized
Harley-Davidson dealer to learn whether such programs
are available to you. Your state may prohibit these types
of offers, in which case, they may not be available to you.
5. The fact that a part is labeled or branded Harley-Davidson
does not necessarily make it appropriate or warranted for
the make and model of your motorcycle.The use of parts
not designed and tested for your motorcycle may have
140 Warranties
negative consequences on the performance of your
motorcycle and may create conditions not covered by this
limited warranty.

CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS CONTROL
WARRANTY STATEMENT
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board and Harley-Davidson Motor
Company are pleased to explain the emission control system
warranty on your 2017 model year motorcycle. In California,
new motor vehicles must be designed, built and equipped to
meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. Harley-Dav-
idson Motor Company must warrant the emission control
system on your motorcycle for the periods of time listed below
provided there has been no abuse, unapproved modification,
neglect or improper maintenance of your motorcycle.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the
carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic
converter, and engine computer. Also included may be hoses,
connectors and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, within the warranty period
noted below, your authorized Harley-Davidson dealer will repair
your motorcycle at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts
and labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage
For a period of use of five years or 30,000 kilometers (18,641
miles), whichever first occurs, beginning on the date the
motorcycle is delivered to the ultimate purchaser or, if the
motorcycle is placed in service as a demonstrator or company
motorcycle prior to sale at retail, the date it is first placed in
service.
If any emission related part on your motorcycle is defective,
the part will be repaired or replaced by Harley-Davidson Motor
Company. This is your emission control system DEFECTS
WARRANTY.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the motorcycle owner, you are responsible for the perform-
ance of the required maintenance listed in your Owner's
Manual. Harley-Davidson recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your motorcycle, but Harley-
Davidson cannot deny emissions warranty coverage solely for
Warranties 149
the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance
of all scheduled maintenance.
You are responsible for presenting your motorcycle to an
authorized Harley-Davidson dealer as soon as a problem exists.
The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable
amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
As the motorcycle owner, you should also be aware that Harley-
Davidson may deny you warranty coverage if your motorcycle
or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper mainten-
ance or unapproved modifications.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and
responsibilities, you should contact Harley-Davidson Customer
Service Department at 1-800-258-2464 (U.S. only) or 1-414-
343-4056, or the California Air Resources Board at 9528 Telstar
Ave., El Monte, California 91731.
Additional Warranty Terms
The warranty period starts the date the motorcycle is delivered
to the ultimate purchaser or, if the motorcycle is placed in ser-
vice as a demonstrator or company motorcycle prior to sale at
retail, the date it is first placed in service.
The emission control system of each new Harley-Davidson
motorcycle was designed, built and tested using only Genuine
Harley-Davidson parts and with these parts the motorcycle is
certified as being in conformity with California emission control
regulations.
We recommend that you take your motorcycle to an authorized
Harley-Davidson dealer for repairs under this warranty. The
dealer has factory-trained mechanics and genuine Harley-
Davidson parts. However, in the case of an "emergency" (as
defined below), you could have repairs performed at any
available service establishment or by the owner, using any
replacement part. An authorized Harley-Davidson dealer not
being reasonably available, or a part not being available within
a reasonable time period (not to exceed 30 days from the time
the motorcycle is initially presented to a Harley-Davidson dealer
for repair) constitutes an emergency. Harley-Davidson will
reimburse the owner for such repairs, including diagnosis, only
if it is established that the repairs are covered under this
emission warranty. Harley-Davidson's parts reimbursement,
however, will not exceed our suggested retail price for all war-
ranted parts replaced and our labor reimbursement will be
limited to our recommended time allowances for emission
system repairs at the geographically appropriate hourly labor
rate.
To obtain reimbursement from Harley-Davidson for such
emergency repairs, you must keep all failed parts and original
receipts, so you can present them to an authorized Harley-
Davidson dealer for inspection. Harley-Davidson recommends
150 Warranties
that you bring your motorcycle to an authorized dealer for
inspection to ensure that the emergency repairs were done
properly.
Remember: Use of non-Harley-Davidson replacement parts
may impair the effectiveness of the emission control system
or otherwise damage your motorcycle. If other than genuine
Harley-Davidson parts are used for maintenance, replacement
or repair of components affecting emission control, you should
obtain written assurances that such non-Harley-Davidson parts
are warranted by their manufacturer to be equal in quality to
Genuine Harley-Davidson parts in both performance and dur-
ability. The use of non-Harley-Davidson replacement parts
does not invalidate the existing warranty, if any, on other
Harley-Davidson components unless the non-Harley-Davidson
parts cause damage to warranted parts or result in the creation
of an emissions non-compliant motorcycle. However, HARLEY-
DAVIDSON ASSUMES NO LIABILITY UNDER THIS WAR-
RANTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY PARTS WHICH ARE NOT
GENUINE HARLEY-DAVIDSON PARTS, unless Harley-Dav-
idson parts cause damage to non-genuine Harley-Davidson
parts.
