PREPARATION FOR SERVICE
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)
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.
NOTES
• To avoid unnecessary disassembly, carefully read all rel-
ative service information before repair work is started.
• In figure legends, the number which follows the name of
a part indicates the quantity necessary for one complete
assembly.
• When servicing a vehicle equipped with the Harley-Dav-
idson 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,
Harley-Davidson 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 Harley-
Davidson replacement parts. Behind the emblem bearing the
words GENUINE HARLEY-DAVIDSON stand more than 100
years of design, research, manufacturing, testing and inspecting
experience.This is your assurance that the parts you are using
will fit right, operate properly and last longer.
