BRAKES

FLUID INSPECTION

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)

D.O.T. 4 brake fluid will damage painted and body panel
surfaces it comes in contact with. Always use caution and
protect surfaces from spills whenever brake work is per-
formed. Failure to comply can result in cosmetic damage.
(00239b)

1.

See 

Figure 1-6

. Check level in rear brake master cylinder

reservoir. Level should be 1/4 ± 1/8 in. (6.35 ± 3.18 mm)
below the gasket surface.

Do not allow dirt or debris to enter the master cylinder
reservoir. Dirt or debris in the reservoir can cause improper
operation and equipment damage. (00205c)

2.

See 

Figure 1-7

. Check level in front brake master cylinder

reservoir. Level should be 1/4 ± 1/8 in. (6.35 ± 3.18 mm)
below the gasket surface.

3.

Install gaskets and covers. Tighten reservoir cover screws
to 6-8 in-lbs (0.7-0.9 Nm).

After repairing the brake system, test brakes at low speed.
If brakes are not operating properly, testing at high speeds
can cause loss of control, which could result in death or
serious injury. (00289a)

4.

Front brake hand lever and rear brake foot pedal must
have a firm feel when applied. If not, bleed system using
only D.O.T. 4 BRAKE FLUID. See 

1.16 BLEEDING

REAR PEDAL HEIGHT

The rear brake pedal should not require adjustment. If minor
pedal height adjustment is desired:

1.

See 

Figure 1-8

. Brake rod (5) is threaded into push rod

(3) in rear brake master cylinder (1), and locked in place
with jam nut (4). Loosen jam nut.

When adjusting brake control rod, never allow more than
nine threads to be exposed between control rod and jam
nut. If more than nine threads are exposed, brake rod can
come apart resulting in loss of rear brake, which could
cause death or serious injury. (00306c)

2.

Using an open-end wrench on the push rod flats, turn the
push rod in the direction which will correct pedal height.
When correct pedal height is obtained, tighten jam nut.

3.

Verify that water drain hole in rubber boot (2), which covers
rear brake push rod, is positioned to bottom.

AIR CLEANER AND EXHAUST SYSTEM

REMOVAL

1.

See 

Figure 1-9

. Remove screw (1) and air cleaner cover

(2).

2.

See 

Figure 1-10

. Gently pull both rubber breather tubes

(1) from the element.

3.

Slide clip-nut (2) to the left to allow access to third screw.
Remove three screws (3), bracket (4) and filter element
(5).

4.

Replace the filter element if damaged or if filter media
cannot be adequately cleaned.

Do not use gasoline or solvents to clean filter element.
Flammable cleaning agents can cause an intake system
fire, which could result in death or serious injury. (00101a)

5.

Gently pull the breather tubes from the breather bolts on
the backplate.

Compressed air can pierce the skin and flying debris from
compressed air could cause serious eye injury. Wear
safety glasses when working with compressed air. Never
use your hand to check for air leaks or to determine air
flow rates. (00061a)

6.

Clean filter element.

a.

Wash the paper/wire mesh air filter element and
breather tubes in lukewarm water with a mild deter-
gent. Do not strike filter element on a hard surface to
dislodge dirt.

b.

Allow filter to either air dry or blow it dry, from the
inside, with low pressure air. Do NOT use air cleaner
filter oil on the Harley-Davidson paper/wire mesh air
filter element.

c.

Hold the filter element up to a strong light source. If
light is uniformly visible through the element, it is
sufficiently clean.

7.

Inspect seal ring on cover for cracks or tears. Verify that
it seals tightly to backplate. Replace as required.

8.

Inspect breather tubes for tears, cuts, holes or other
damage. Replace as necessary.

NOTE

The breather tubes allow crankcase vapors to be directed into
the air filter element. By providing effective recirculation of
crankcase vapor, the tubes serve to eliminate the pollutants
normally discharged from the crankcase. Air cleaner mounting
without installation of the breather tubes, or with breather tubes
that are not air tight, allows crankcase vapors to be vented into
the atmosphere in violation of legal emissions standards. This
will also negatively affect the engine's breather system as it
will cause the umbrella valve to flutter.

9.

Wipe inside of air cleaner cover and backplate with damp
cloth to remove dust.

10. On California models only, make sure trap door swings

freely.

TIRES AND WHEELS

TIRES

Match tires, tubes, air valves and caps to the correct wheel
rim. Contact a Harley-Davidson dealer. Mismatching can
result in damage to the tire bead, allow tire slippage on
the rim or cause tire failure, which could result in death
or serious injury. (00023a)

Use only Harley-Davidson approved tires. See a Harley-
Davidson dealer. Using non-approved tires can adversely
affect stability, which could result in death or serious
injury. (00024a)

Use inner tubes on laced (wire spoked) wheels. Using
tubeless tires on laced wheels can cause air leaks, which
could result in death or serious injury. (00025a)

NOTES

•

Tubeless tires fitted with the correct size inner tubes may
be used on all Harley-Davidson laced (wire spoked)
wheels. Protective rubber rim strips must be used with

tubeless tires (fitted with correct size inner tubes) when
mounted on laced (wire spoked) wheels.

•

Inner tubes must not be used in radial tires and radial tires
must not be used on laced (wire spoked) wheels.

•

Tubeless tires are used on all Harley-Davidson cast and
disc wheels.

•

Tire sizes are molded on the tire sidewall. Inner tube sizes
are printed on the tube.

•

New tires should be stored on a horizontal tire rack. Avoid
stacking new tires in a vertical stack. The weight of the
stack compresses the tires and closes down the beads.

Check tire pressure and tread:

•

As part of the pre-ride inspection.

•

At every scheduled service interval.

1.

Inspect each tire for punctures, cuts and breaks.

2.

Inspect each tire for wear. Replace tires before they reach
the tread wear indicator bars.

NOTE

Missing indicator wear bars represent less than  1/32 in. (0.8
mm) tread pattern depth remaining.

3.

Check for proper front and rear tire pressures when tires
are cold. Compare results against 

Table 1-7
