ABOUT THIS MANUAL

GENERAL
PREPARATION FOR SERVICE
This Service Manual Supplement has been designed to be

used with the current Service Manual and has been prepared
with two purposes in mind. First, it will acquaint the user with
the construction of the Harley-Davidson product and assist in
the performance of basic maintenance and repair. Secondly,
it will introduce to the professional Harley-Davidson Technician
the latest field-tested and factory-approved major repair
methods. We sincerely believe that this Service Manual Supplement will make your association with Harley-Davidson
products more pleasant and profitable.
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)
This Service Manual Supplement provides information unique

to this model motorcycle. Any information not presented in this
supplement can be found in the appropriate Service Manual
or Electrical Diagnostic Manual.

For example, a cross-reference shown as 2.1 SPECIFICATIONS refers to chapter 2 CHASSIS, heading 2.1 SPECIFICATIONS.
If the subject you seek is not in this supplement, refer to the
corresponding section in the appropriate Service Manual.
Check the title page located in the front of each section to find
the subject.
For quick and easy reference, all pages contain a section
number followed by a page number. For example, page 3-5
refers to page 5 in section 3.
In figure legends, the number following the name of a part
indicates the quantity necessary for one complete assembly.
NOTES
To avoid unnecessary disassembly, carefully read all relative service information before repair work is started.
In figure legends, the number which follows the name of

a part indicates the quantity necessary for one complete
assembly.
When servicing a vehicle equipped with the HarleyDavidson Smart Security System (H-DSSS), you must
first disarm the security system. Either keep the fob in
close proximity to the vehicle, or use Digital Technician to
disable the security system while the vehicle is being serviced and re-enable the system after service is completed.
SERVICE BULLETINS
In addition to the information presented in this Service Manual
Supplement and the appropriate Service Manual, HarleyDavidson Motor Company will periodically issue Service Bulletins to Harley-Davidson dealers. Service Bulletins cover
interim engineering changes and supplementary information.
Consult the Service Bulletins to keep your product knowledge
current and complete.
USE GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
Do not use aftermarket parts and custom made front forks

which can adversely affect performance and handling.
Removing or altering factory installed parts can adversely
affect performance and could result in death or serious
injury. (00001a)
To ensure satisfactory and lasting repairs, carefully follow the
Service Manual instructions and use only genuine HarleyDavidson replacement parts. Behind the emblem bearing the
words GENUINE HARLEY-DAVIDSON stand more than 100
years of design, research, manufacturing, testing and inspecting
experience.This is your assurance that the parts you are using
will fit right, operate properly and last longer.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

Statements in this service manual preceded by the following
words are of special significance.
FOREWORD
NOTE
Good preparation is very important for efficient service work.

A clean work area at the start of each job will allow you to
perform the repair as easily and quickly as possible, and will
reduce the incidence of misplaced tools and parts. A motorcycle
that is excessively dirty should be cleaned before work starts.
Cleaning will occasionally uncover sources of trouble. Tools,
instruments and any parts needed for the job should be
gathered before work is started. Interrupting a job to locate
tools or parts is a distraction and causes needless delay.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury. (00119a)
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury. (00139a)
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates

a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in property damage. (00140a)
NOTE
Refers to important information, and is placed in italic type. It
is recommended that you take special notice of these items.
Proper service and repair is important for the safe, reliable
operation of all mechanical products. The service procedures
recommended and described in this service manual are
effective methods for performing service operations.
Always wear proper eye protection when using hammers,

arbor or hydraulic presses, gear pullers, spring compressors, slide hammers and similar tools. Flying parts
could result in death or serious injury. (00496b)
Some of these service operations require the use of tools
specially designed for the purpose. These special tools should
be used when and as recommended. It is important to note
that some warnings against the use of specific service methods,
which could damage the motorcycle or render it unsafe, are
stated in this service manual. However, please remember that
these warnings are not all-inclusive. Inadequate safety precautions could result in death or serious injury.
Since Harley-Davidson could not possibly know, evaluate or
advise the service trade of all possible ways in which service
might be performed, or of the possible hazardous consequences of each method, we have not undertaken any such
broad evaluation. Accordingly, anyone who uses a service
procedure or tool which is not recommended by HarleyDavidson must first thoroughly satisfy himself that neither his
nor the operator's safety will be jeopardized as a result. Failure
to do so could result in death or serious injury.
PRODUCT REFERENCES
Read and follow warnings and directions on all products.

Failure to follow warnings and directions can result in
death or serious injury. (00470b)
II FOREWORD
When reference is made in this manual to a specific brand

name product, tool or instrument, an equivalent product, tool
or instrument may be substituted.

TIRES
2.3
GENERAL
NOTE
The rear tire on FL police model motorcycles is fit for solo riding
only. If converted to a two-up bike, that is, configured for passenger use (with luggage), then the rear tire needs to be
changed to one with a higher weight rating. Since it has long
been Harley-Davidson policy not to mix different types of tires
on the same vehicle, we strongly recommend that both front
and rear tires be replaced. In order to alert the customer to this
safety issue, the following warning appears on a label fitted to
the rear fender approximately 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) behind the
domestic seat mounting hole.
Use the tires recommended for civilian/pleasure vehicles of

the same year and model family.
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)
Tire size, manufacturer's description and inflation pressure are
listed below.
NOTE
This vehicle has tires with weight ratings for one person
operation. If this vehicle is modified to carry two people,
the tires must be changed. See a Harley-Davidson dealer
for proper replacement tires. Using improper tires can
cause tire failure which could result in death or serious
injury. (00096a)
ABS motorcycles must always use tires and wheels that are
the same as the original equipment. The ABS monitors the
rotational speed of the wheels through individual wheel speed
sensors. Changing to different diameter wheels or different
size 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 lockups. Tire inflation pressure that is
significantly low also can have an adverse effect.

GENERAL
om00451
Maximum air pressure for the seat is 100 psi (689 kPa).
Normal air pressure is 30-45 psi (207-310 kPa). Do not
operate with air pressure so low that system bottoms out
on bumpy roads. (00167a)
NOTES
Initially pressurize the seat air suspension system to 40

psi (275.8 kPa), then add or remove pressure to the rider's
comfort. DO NOT operate motorcycle with system underinflated.
To check minimum air pressure, have rider sit on seat and

bounce to simulate riding conditions. Visually check for
any contact between air spring and frame components.
Add air as necessary.
See Figure 2-2. Removal and installation of retaining pin

(1) requires that the air pressure be removed from the seat
air suspension system. The seat will no longer pivot up
because the front of the seat will hit the fuel tank. Retaining
pin (1) should not be removed unless the seat is to be
removed.
The seat does not adjust forward or rearward.

OIL COOLER
3.3
OPERATION
sm04712
Pressurized oil flows through a hole in the oil filter mount into
a passage in the oil cooler adapter. The oil cooler adapter is
mounted between the oil filter mount and the oil filter.
7
6
A thermostat inside the oil cooler adapter controls the flow of

oil to the oil cooler. The thermostat consists of a temperature
sensitive element compressed between a spring and threaded
plug. See Figure 3-1.
10
While the engine oil temperature is below 200 F (93 C), the
thermostat is open allowing most of the engine oil to pass from
the supply port directly to the return port en route to the oil
filter.
When the engine oil temperature reaches 200 F (93 C), the
thermostat closes and the entire flow is directed to the oil cooler
through the supply hose.
The fins on the tubes of the oil cooler dissipate heat before the
flow returns to the oil cooler adapter through the return hose.
The engine oil then passes through the oil filter before returning
to the crankcase.
NOTE
For a complete description of the engine oil flow, see GENERAL INFORMATION in the Touring Models Service Manual.

COMPRESSION TEST
PART NUMBER
HD-33223-1
TOOL NAME
CYLINDER COMPRESSION GAUGE
A compression test can determine the source of cylinder

leakage. Use CYLINDER COMPRESSION GAUGE (Part
No. HD-33223-1) with a screw-in type adapter.
NOTE
The Twin Cam 103 Engine uses a 12 mm adapter with the
compression gauge.
Figure 8-11. Bottom Third
1.
Operate engine to normal operating temperature.
2.
Disconnect spark plug wires.
3.
Clean around plug base and remove front cylinder spark

plug.
4.
Install compression tester to front cylinder per gauge

instructions.
ed01627
NOTE
The test results will vary depending on whether the ACR is
connected or not. Refer to Table 8-2 for specifications.
Figure 8-12. Three Dots of Loctite 246 Medium

Strength/High Temperature
5.
Shift transmission to neutral. Crank engine continuously

through 5 to 7 compression strokes.
6.
Record gauge readings at the end of the first and last

compression strokes (highest readings).
7.
Replace front spark plug and repeat test on rear cylinder.
8.
Refer to Table 8-2. Readings should be within specified

range. If readings are higher than normal, suspect a
compression release that is not functioning correctly. If
readings are low, inject approximately 1/2 oz. (15 ml)
engine oil into each cylinder and repeat the compression
tests on both cylinders.
NOTE
Readings that are considerably higher after injecting the oil
indicate worn piston rings.
