Checking Coolant Level In
Expansion Tank
1. See Figure 6-8. Remove fastener at upper corner of lou-
vered cover and remove cover.
2. See Figure 6-9. Check coolant level in expansion tank
with coolant cold and vehicle resting on jiffy stand. If level
is below “COLD FULL” line on tank, remove cap from
tank and add premixed HARLEY-DAVIDSON
EXTENDED LIFE ANTIFREEZE & COOLANT (Part No.
99822-02) until fluid level reaches “COLD FULL” line.
NOTE
Do not reinstall louvered cover now. The 40 amp fuse will be
installed later in the fuse holder located just forward of the
expansion tank.
CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER
1. View reservoir sightglass and verify fluid presence.
Sightglass should appear dark if fluid is present. If sight-
glass is not dark, add D.O.T. 5 SILICONE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE FLUID (Part No. 99902-77). See Service Man-
ual.
NOTES
● Use only D.O.T. 5 SILICONE HYDRAULIC BRAKE
FLUID (Part No. 99902-77) in clutch master cylinder res-
ervoir.
● Do not overfill clutch master cylinder reservoir. As clutch
friction discs wear, the piston in the clutch cylinder will
force fluid back into the reservoir and this could cause
fluid overflow.
1CAUTION
Direct contact of D.O.T. 5 brake fluid with eyes can cause
eye irritation, swelling, and redness. 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. 5 brake fluid can cause digestive discomfort. If
swallowed, obtain medical attention. Use in well venti-
lated area. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

CAUTION
D.O.T. 5 silicone hydraulic brake fluid is used in the
hydraulic clutch. Do not use other types of fluids as they
are not compatible and could cause equipment damage.
