Harley Davidson Sportster Models 2009. Service Repair Manual

Inspect the fuel tank for leaks or other damage. If a dam-
aged fuel tank cannot be successfully repaired, replace
it.

ASSEMBLE FUEL TANK

When servicing the fuel system, do not smoke or allow
open flame or sparks in the vicinity. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive, which could result in
death or serious injury. (00330a)

See

Figure 4-24

. Install O-ring (5) on top ring (4). Ensure

it is seated properly.

Install top ring and clamp ring with screws (7).

See

Figure 4-25

. Tighten screws in the sequence shown

to 40-45 in-lbs (4.5-5.1 Nm).

See

Figure 4-24

. Install filler cap (1) with O-ring (2).

INSTALLING FUEL TANK

NOTE

Be sure that wiring harnesses do not get pinched between fuel
tank and frame during tank installation.

Install fuel pump into fuel tank using new gasket. See

4.18 FUEL PUMP

See

Figure 4-26

. Install rubber grommets (3) in both front

mounting holes of fuel tank. Insert metal bushings (4) into
rubber grommets, oriented as shown. Make certain clip
nut (5) is installed on frame bracket.

Position fuel tank on motorcycle. Make certain that ignition
coil bracket is positioned between tank mount and frame
and that airbox mounting brackets are correctly mated.

Insert screw (6) with washer (2) through fuel tank front
mounting brackets and vehicle frame. Install remaining

washer and lock nut (7) on other end of screw. Do not
tighten at this time.

Secure pump harness to main harness retainer located
under fuel tank.

Make certain metal bushing (4) is located inside rear lower
rubber grommet (3) of fuel tank. Install screw (1), washer
(2), and upper grommet (3) and thread into clip nut (5).
Tighten to 15-20 ft-lbs (20.3-27.1 Nm).

Tighten front screw (6) and nut (7) to 15-20 ft-lbs (20.3-
27.1 Nm).

NOTE

Be sure airbox grommet is securely installed on induction
module and airbox opening. See

4.5 AIRBOX: XR MODELS

An improperly seated grommet could lead to accelerated engine
wear.

Secure airbox to brackets on bottom of fuel tank.

See

Figure 4-20

. Secure throttle cables to bottom of fuel

tank using a new loop retainer.

10. See

Figure 4-22

. Connect vent hose (3) and ground wire

(5) as shown. Route ground wire and vent hose in trough
in top of tank.

11. See

Figure 4-21

. Install fuel tank cover and secure with

four screws (1). Tighten screws to 24-30 in-lbs (2.7-3.4
Nm).

RECONNECTING FUEL HOSE AND FILLING
FUEL TANK

To prevent spray of fuel, be sure quick-connect fittings
are properly mated. Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive, which could result in death or serious
injury. (00268a)

See

Figure 4-20

. Push up on release sleeve (1) and push

fuel hose fitting (2) into fuel pump module fuel pump quick-
connect fitting. Pull down on release sleeve to lock quick-
connect fitting. Tug on fuel hose fitting to make sure it is
securely locked in place.

Use care when refueling. Pressurized air in fuel tank can
force gasoline to escape through filler tube. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00029a)

Avoid spills. Slowly remove filler cap. Do not fill above
bottom of filler neck insert, leaving air space for fuel
expansion. Secure filler cap after refueling. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00028a)

Fill fuel tank and carefully inspect for leaks around fuel
pump module.

Install main fuse. See

6.38 MAIN FUSE

Turn ignition switch ON and verify fuel pump is activated.
Carefully inspect for leaks at quick-connect fitting and
induction module. Turn ignition switch OFF.

Install left side cover.

THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR

GENERAL

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)

See

Figure 4-27

. The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is located

on the side of the induction module and monitors the physical
position of the throttle shaft.

Refer to the ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTIC MANUAL for
information on the function and testing of the TP sensor.
