TIRES

GENERAL

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)

Be sure tires are properly inflated, balanced and have
adequate tread. Inspect your tires regularly and see a
Harley-Davidson dealer for replacements. Riding with
excessively worn, unbalanced or under-inflated tires can
adversely affect stability and handling, which could result
in death or serious injury. (00014a)

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.

Tires should be inspected for punctures, cuts, breaks and wear
at least weekly.

See

Figure 2-79

. The tread wear indicator bars will appear on

tire tread surfaces when 1/32 in. (0.8 mm) or less of tread
remains. Always remove tires from service before they reach
the tread wear indicator bars.

New tires are needed if any of the following conditions exist.
See

1.9 TIRES AND WHEELS

Tire wear indicator bars are visible on the tread surfaces.

Tire cords or fabric are visible through cracked sidewalls,
snags or deep cuts.

A bump, bulge or split in the tire.

Puncture, cut or other damage to the tire that cannot be
repaired.

REMOVAL

NOTE

Care must be taken when removing and installing tire to prevent
cosmetic damage to wheel. This is especially true with wheels
that feature painted surfaces.

Remove wheel from motorcycle:

Front wheel: see

2.4 FRONT WHEEL, Removal

Rear wheel: see

2.5 REAR WHEEL, Removal

Deflate tire.

NOTE

On tube type wheels, it is not necessary to completely remove
tire from rim. Removing one side allows the tube to be replaced
and allows for inspection of tire.

Loosen both tire beads from rim flange. In most cases, a
bead breaker machine will be required to loosen the beads
from the rim.

Remove tire.

HOME

2009 Dyna Service: Chassis 2-55

CLEANING, INSPECTION AND REPAIR

Clean the inside of tire and outer surface of tube.

If rim is dirty or rusty, clean with a stiff wire brush.

Check wheels for lateral and radial runout before installing
a new tire.

Models with laced wheels: see

2.10 TRUING

LACED WHEELS

Models with cast wheels: see

2.11 CHECKING

CAST WHEEL RUNOUT

Inspect the tire and tube for wear and damage. Inspect
tread depth. Replace worn tires. Replace damaged tubes.

Replace punctured or damaged tires. In some cases, small
punctures in the tread area may be repaired from within
the demounted 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 result in death or serious injury. (00015a)

Tubeless tires may be repaired in the tread area only if
the puncture is 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) or smaller. All repairs must
be made from inside the tire.

Acceptable repair method involves the use of a patch and
plug combination.

INSTALLATION

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)

Do not exceed manufacturer's recommended pressure to
seat beads. Exceeding recommended bead seat pressure
can cause tire rim assembly to burst, which could result
in death or serious injury. (00282a)

Do not inflate tire beyond maximum pressure as specified
on sidewall. Over inflated tires can blow out, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00027a)

For tire pressures, see

1.9 TIRES AND WHEELS, Tires

Some tires have arrows molded into the tire sidewall. These
tires should be mounted on the rim with the arrow pointing in
the direction of forward rotation. The colored dot on the sidewall
is a balance mark and should be located next to the valve stem
hole.

Tube Type 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 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

•

For correct tire and tube types, see

2.2 SPECIFICATIONS

•

Whenever a tube type tire is replaced, the tube should
also be replaced. Inner tubes should be patched only as
an emergency measure. Replace a damaged or patched
tube as soon as possible. Rim bands must be used on all
laced wheels.

See

Figure 2-80

. On laced wheels, install a rim strip into

the rim well. Make sure no spokes protrude through
nipples, and be sure to align the valve stem hole in rim
strip with valve stem hole in rim.

Install tube and tire.

2-56 2009 Dyna Service: Chassis

Tubeless Tires

Only install original equipment tire valves and valve caps.
A valve, or valve and cap combination, that is too long or
too heavy can strike adjacent components and damage
the valve, causing rapid tire deflation. Rapid tire deflation
can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in
death or serious injury. (00281a)

See

Figure 2-81

. On tubeless wheels, damaged or leaking

valve stems must be replaced. Install rubber grommet (3)
on valve stem.

Insert valve stem into rim hole.

Install metal washer (2).

Install nut and tighten to 12-15 in-lbs (1.4-1.7 Nm).
