2008 Road King Owner’s Manual
Safety First
Safe Operating Rules: Touring Models
Motorcycles are different from other vehicles. They operate, steer, handle and brake differently. Unskilled or improper use could result in loss of control, death or serious injury. (00556c)
Take a rider training course.
Read Owner’s Manual before riding, adding accessories or servicing.
Wear a helmet, eye protection and protective clothing. Never tow a trailer.
Before operating your new motorcycle it is your responsibility to read and follow the operating and maintenance instructions in this manual, and follow these basic rules for your personal safety.
Know and respect the rules of the road (see RULES OF THE ROAD section). Carefully read and observe the rules contained in the RIDING TIPS booklet accompanying this Owner’s Manual. Read and familiarize yourself with the contents of the MOTORCYCLE HANDBOOK for your state.
Before starting engine, check for proper operation of brake, clutch, shifter, throttle controls, correct fuel and oil supply.
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)
Use only HarleyDavidson approved parts and accessories. Use of certain other manufacturer’s performance parts will void your new motorcycle warranty. See your Harley Davidson dealer for details.
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)
When refueling your motorcycle, the following rules should be observed.
Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine turned off. Remove fuel filler cap slowly.
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks when refueling or servicing the fuel system. Do not fill fuel tank above the bottom of the filler neck insert.
Leave air space to allow for fuel expansion.
Do not store motorcycle with gasoline in tank within the home or garage where open flames, pilot lights, sparks or electric motors are present. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00003a)
Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (00004f)
Wheel weights on wheels without spokes contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (00356d)
Do not run motorcycle in a closed garage or confined area. Inhaling motorcycle exhaust, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas, could result in death or serious injury. (00005a)
The jiffy stand locks when placed in the full forward (down) position with vehicle weight on it. If the jiffy stand is not in the full forward (down) position with vehicle weight on it, the vehicle can fall over which could result in death or serious injury. (00006a)
Be sure jiffy stand is fully retracted before riding. If jiffy stand is not fully retracted, it can contact the road surface causing a loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00007a)
A new motorcycle must be operated according to the special breakin procedure. See
Breakin Riding Rules.
Operate motorcycle only at moderate speed and out of traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with its operation and handling characteristics under all conditions.
NOTE:
We recommend that you obtain information and formal training in the correct motorcycle riding
technique. In the United States, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation® offers beginning and advanced rider safety courses. Call (949)7273227 for information.
Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive speed can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00008a)
Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. Always reduce speed when poor driving conditions exist. High speed increases the influence of any other condition affecting stability and increases the possibility of loss of control.
Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions. Any two wheeled vehicle may be subject to upsetting forces such as wind blasts from passing trucks, holes in the pavement, rough road surfaces, rider control error, etc. These forces may influence the handling characteristics of your motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed and guide the motorcycle with a relaxed grip to a controlled condition. Do not brake abruptly or force the handlebar. This may aggravate an unstable condition.
Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcycle and as low as possible to minimize the change in the motorcycle’s center of gravity. Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the vehicle and do not load bulky items too far behind the rider or add weight to the handlebars or front forks. Do not exceed maximum specified load in each saddlebag.
NOTE:
New riders should gain experience under various conditions while driving at moderate speeds.
Operate your motorcycle defensively. Remember, a motorcycle does not afford the same protection as an automobile in an accident. One of the most common accident situations occurs when the driver of the other vehicle fails to see or recognize a motorcycle and turns left into the oncoming motorcyclist. Operate only with headlamp on.
Wear an approved helmet, clothing, and foot gear suited for motorcycle riding. Bright or light colors are best for greater visibility in traffic, especially at night. Avoid loose, flowing garments and scarves.
Avoid contact with exhaust system and wear protective clothing that completely covers legs while riding. Exhaust pipes and mufflers get very hot when engine is running and remain too hot to touch, even after engine is turned off. Failure to wear protective clothing could result in burns or other serious injury. (00009a)
When carrying passengers, it is your responsibility to instruct them on proper riding procedures. (See Riding Tips for Motorcyclist included in your HarleyDavidson Owner’s Kit.)
Do not allow other individuals, under any circumstances, to operate your motorcycle unless you know they are experienced, licensed riders and are thoroughly familiar with the operation of your particular motorcycle.
Protect your motorcycle against theft. After parking your motorcycle, lock the steering head and remove ignition key from switch. Set security alarm if present.
Safe motorcycle operation requires alert mental judgment combined with a defensive driving attitude. Do not allow fatigue, alcohol or drugs to endanger your safety or that of others. Vehicles equipped with a sound system should have the volume adjusted to a nondistracting level before operating vehicle.
Maintain your motorcycle in proper operating condition in accordance with Regular Service Intervals: 2008 Touring Models. Particularly important to motorcycle stability is proper tire inflation pressure, tread condition, and proper adjustment of wheel bearings and steering head bearings.
Do not operate vehicle with forks locked. Locking the forks restricts the vehicle’s turning ability, which could result in death or serious injury. (00035a)
Perform the service and maintenance operations as indicated in the regular service interval table. Lack of regular maintenance at the recommended intervals can affect the safe operation of your motorcycle, which could result in death or serious injury. (00010a)
Do not operate motorcycle with loose, worn or damaged steering or suspension systems. Contact a Harley Davidson dealer for repairs. Loose, worn or damaged steering or suspension components can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00011a)
Regularly inspect shock absorbers and front forks. Replace leaking, damaged or worn parts that can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00012a)
Use HarleyDavidson replacement fasteners. Aftermarket fasteners can adversely affect performance, which could result in death or serious injury. (00013a)
See your HarleyDavidson service manual for proper torque values.
Aftermarket fasteners may not have the specific property requirements to perform properly.
Be sure tires are properly inflated, balanced and have adequate tread. Inspect your tires regularly and see a HarleyDavidson dealer for replacements. Riding with excessively worn, unbalanced or underinflated tires can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00014a)
Replace punctured or damaged tires. In some cases, small punctures in the tread area may be repaired from within the demounted tire by a HarleyDavidson 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)
Do not exceed the motorcycle’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Exceeding these weight ratings can affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00016e)
GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle, accessories, and the maximum weight of the rider, passenger and cargo that can be safely carried.
GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely carried on each axle.
The GVWR and GAWR are shown on the information plate located on the frame steering head.
Do not tow a disabled motorcycle. Towing can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00017a)
Do not pull a trailer with a motorcycle. Pulling a trailer can cause tire overload, reduced braking efficiency and adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00018b)
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 attention. Use in well ventilated area. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. (00240a)
Batteries, battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, and other chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (00019e)
Consult a HarleyDavidson dealer regarding any questions or problems that occur in the operation of your motorcycle. Failure to do so can aggravate an initial problem, cause costly repairs, cause an accident and could result in death or serious injury. (00020a)
Be sure all equipment required by federal, state and local law is installed and in good operating condition.
Do not open storage compartments while riding. Distractions while riding can lead to loss of control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00082a)
If ABS lamp remains on continuously, the ABS is not operating. The standard brake system is operational, but wheel lock up can occur. Contact a HarleyDavidson Dealer to have ABS repaired. A locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00361a)
ABS cannot prevent lockup of rear wheel due to engine braking. ABS will not aid in cornering or on loose/uneven surfaces. A locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00362a)
Rules of the Road
Always sound your horn, actuate your turn signals, and exercise caution when passing other vehicles going in the same direction. Never try to pass another vehicle going in the same direction at street intersections, on curves, or when going up or down a hill.
At street intersections give the rightofway. Do not presume you have the rightofway, as the other driver may not know it is your turn.
Always signal when preparing to stop, turn or pass.
All traffic signs, including those used for the control of traffic at intersections, should be obeyed promptly. SLOW DOWN signs near schools and CAUTION signs at railroad crossings should always be observed and your actions governed accordingly.
When intending to turn, signal at least 100 feet 30.5 meters before reaching the turning point. If turning across an intersection, move over to the centerline of the street (unless local rules require otherwise). Slow down when entering the intersection and turn carefully. Never anticipate a traffic light. When a change is indicated from GO to STOP (or vice versa) in the traffic control systems at intersections, slow down and wait for the light to change. Never run through a yellow or red traffic light.
While turning either right or left, watch for pedestrians, animals, as well as vehicles.
Do not leave the curb or parking area without signaling. Be sure your way is clear to enter moving traffic. A moving line of traffic always has the rightofway.
Be sure your license plate is installed in the position specified by law and is clearly visible at all times. Keep the plate clean.
Ride at a safe speed that is consistent with the type of highway you are on. Pay strict attention to whether the road is dry, oily, icy or wet.
Watch for debris such as leaves or loose gravel.
Weather and traffic conditions on the highway dictate adjusting your speed and driving habits accordingly.
Accessories and Cargo
HarleyDavidson Motor Company cannot test and make specific recommendations concerning every accessory or combination of accessories sold. Therefore, the rider must be responsible for safe operation of the motorcycle when installing accessories or carrying additional weight.
See the Accessory and Cargo section in your Owner’s Manual. Improper loading of cargo or installation of accessories can affect motorcycle stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00021a)
Do not exceed the motorcycle’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Exceeding these weight ratings can affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00016e)
GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle, accessories, and the maximum weight of the rider, passenger and cargo that can be safely carried.
GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely carried on each axle.
The GVWR and GAWR are shown on the information plate which is located on the frame down tube.
Do not pull a trailer with a motorcycle. Pulling a trailer can cause tire overload, reduced braking efficiency and adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00018b)
Accessory and Cargo Guidelines
The following guidelines should be used when equipping a motorcycle, carrying passengers and/or cargo.
Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive speed can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00008a)
Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. Always reduce speed when poor driving conditions exist. High speed increases the influence of any other condition affecting stability and increases the possibility of loss of control.
Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions. Any two wheeled vehicle may be subject to upsetting forces such as wind blasts from passing trucks, holes in the pavement, rough road surfaces, rider control error, etc. These forces may influence the handling characteristics of your motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed and guide the motorcycle with a relaxed grip to a controlled condition. Do not brake abruptly or force the handlebar. This may aggravate an unstable condition.
Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcycle and as low as possible. This minimizes the change in the motorcycle’s center of gravity.
Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the vehicle.
Do not load bulky items too far behind the rider or add weight to the handlebars or front forks.
Do not exceed maximum specified load in each saddlebag.
Luggage racks are designed for lightweight items. Do not overload racks.
Be sure cargo is secure and will not shift while riding and recheck the cargo periodically. Accessories that change the operator’s riding position may increase reaction time and affect handling of the motorcycle.
Additional electrical equipment may overload the motorcycle’s electrical system possibly resulting in electrical system and/or component failure.
The front and/or rear guard(s) can provide limited leg and cosmetic vehicle protection under unique circumstances. (Fall over while stopped, very slow speed slide.) It is not
made or intended to provide protection from bodily injury in a collision with another vehicle or any other object. (00022a)
Large surfaces such as fairings, windshields, back rests, and luggage racks can adversely affect handling. Only genuine HarleyDavidson items designed specifically for the motorcycle model should be used with proper installation.
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)
Only Touring HarleyDavidson Motorcycles are suitable for sidecar use. Consult a HarleyDavidson dealer. Use of motorcycles other than Touring models with sidecars could result in death or serious injury. (00040a)
Noise Control System
Tampering
Owners are warned that removal or replacement of any noise control system component may be prohibited by law. This prohibition applies prior to vehicle sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser. Use of a vehicle on which noise control system components have been removed or rendered inoperative may also be prohibited by law.
Identification
Vehicle Identification Number: Touring Models
The full 17digit serial or Vehicle Identification Number (V.I.N.) is stamped on the right side of the frame backbone at the rear of the frame behind the steering head. A label bearing the V.I.N. code is also affixed to the left side of the frame behind the steering head.

Tire Data
Match tires, tubes, air valves and caps to the correct wheel rim. Contact a HarleyDavidson 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 HarleyDavidson approved tires. See a Harley Davidson dealer. Using nonapproved tires can adversely affect stability, which could result in death or serious injury. (00024a)
Tubeless tires fitted with the correct size inner tubes may be used on all HarleyDavidson 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.
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)
Tubeless tires are used on all HarleyDavidson cast and disc wheels.
Tire sizes are molded on the tire sidewall. Inner tube sizes are printed on the tube.
HarleyDavidson 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 inflate tire beyond maximum pressure as specified on sidewall. Over inflated tires can blow out, which could result in death or serious injury. (00027a)
HarleyDavidson tires are equipped with wear bars that run horizontally across the tread. When wear bars become visible and only 1/32 in. (0.8 mm) tread depth remains, replace tire immediately. Using a worn tire can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. Use only HarleyDavidson approved replacement tires. (00090b)
See Specifications: 2008 Touring Models for tire pressures and sizes.
Gasoline Blends
Your motorcycle was designed to get the best performance and efficiency using unleaded gasoline. Most gasoline is blended with alcohol and/or ether to create oxygenated blends. The type and amount of alcohol or ether added to the fuel is important.
Do not use gasoline that contains methanol. Doing so can result in fuel system component failure, engine damage and/or equipment malfunction. (00148a)
Gasoline containing METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE): Gasoline/MTBE blends are a mixture of gasoline and as much as 15% MTBE. Gasoline/MTBE blends can be used in your motorcycle.
ETHANOL is a mixture of 10% ethanol (Grain alcohol) and 90% unleaded gasoline. Gasoline/ethanol blends can be used in your motorcycle if the ethanol content does not exceed 10%.
REFORMULATED OR OXYGENATED GASOLINES (RFG): Reformulated gasoline is a term used to describe gasoline blends that are specifically designed to burn cleaner than other types of gasoline, leaving fewer tailpipe emissions. They are also formulated to evaporate less when you are filling your tank. Reformulated gasolines use additives to oxygenate the gas. Your motorcycle will run normally using this type of gas and Harley Davidson recommends you use it when possible, as an aid to cleaner air in our environment.
Some gasoline blends might adversely affect the starting, driveability or fuel efficiency of the motorcycle. If any of these problems are experienced, try a different brand of gasoline or gasoline with a higher octane blend.
Fuel
Refer to Octane Ratings. Always use a good quality unleaded gasoline. Octane ratings are usually found on the pump.
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)
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)
Modern service station pumps dispense a high flow of gasoline into a motorcycle fuel tank making air entrapment and pressurization a possibility.
Octane Ratings
SPECIFICATION
Pump Octane (R+M)/2
Catalytic Converters
Some Touring motorcycles are equipped with catalytic converters.
Do not operate catalytic converterequipped vehicle with engine misfire or a nonfiring cylinder. If you operate the vehicle under these conditions, the exhaust will become abnormally hot, which can cause vehicle damage, including emission control loss. (00149a)
Use only unleaded fuel in catalytic converterequipped motorcycles. Using leaded fuel will damage the emission control system. (00150b)

Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
Touring models are equipped with Electronic Throttle Control (ETC). Instead of using a mechanical cable connection to the throttle body, this technology uses redundant grip sensors to indicate rider requested throttle position to the Electronic Module (ECM). The ECM then regulates proper fuel/air intake and ignition timing based on the rider request. The grip sensor is manufactured with internal cams and spring retainer for natural feel and operation.
ETC operation is designed for rider safety and continued motorcycle operation, even in the event of a component failure. The Electronic Control Module monitors the status of the grip sensors, throttle plate actuation and airflow. If any problems are detected, the motorcycle will disable cruise control, illuminate the engine check lamp, and revert to one of the following fallback modes.
ETC Limited Performance Mode
The rider will experience nearnormal operation. The motorcycle will operate with provisions to guard against unintended acceleration.
ETC Power Management Mode
The throttle plate actuator returns to an «idle detent» or «limphome» position, which will provide enough torque to achieve speed of about 25 mph 40 kph . The motorcycle’s response to grip sensor input is significantly reduced.
ETC Forced Idle Mode
The throttle plate actuator is forced to a «fast idle» position, which will provide enough torque to crawl, but not enough torque to operate at traffic speeds.
ETC Forced Shutdown Mode
The engine is forced to shut down.
Turn Signal Switch Operation
The turn signal switches are used by the turn signal module to control turn signal operation based on vehicle speed, vehicle acceleration and turn completion.
Momentarily depress the desired turn signal switch. The turn signal lamps will begin and continue flashing until they are manually or automatically cancelled. As long as the motorcycle is stationary, the signals will flash.
NOTES:
If you are signaling to turn in one direction and you depress the switch for the opposite turn signal, the first signal is cancelled and the opposite side begins flashing.
If you want to stop the lamps from flashing, briefly depress the turn signal switch a second time. The turn signal lamps will stop flashing.
Hazard Warning 4Way Flasher
Use the following method to activate the fourway flashers.
1.With the ignition key ON and security system disarmed (models with security only), press the left and right turn signal switches at the same time.
2.Turn the ignition key OFF and arm the security system if present and desired. The fourway flashers will continue for two hours.
3.To cancel fourway flashing, disarm the security system if necessary, turn the ignition key ON and press the left and right turn signal switches at the same time.
This system allows a stranded vehicle to be left in the fourway flashing mode and secured until help is found.
Indicator Lamps
See Indicator Lamps. Five indicator lamps are provided.
The green TURN indicators will flash when turn signals are activated; therefore, flashing indicates the chosen turn direction. When the 4way hazard flashers are operating, both turn indicators will flash simultaneously.
The blue BEAM indicator lamp, when lit, signals high beam headlamp operation. The green NEUTRAL lamp, when lit, signals the transmission is in neutral gear.
The red OIL indicator lamp, when lit, signals that oil is not circulating through the engine.
NOTE:
The OIL indicator lamp will glow when the ignition is turned on prior to starting engine. With engine running, lamp should be off when engine speed is above idle.
Several other circumstances that could cause the red oil indicator lamp to signal, include the following:
If the oil pressure indicator lamp does not go off at speeds above idling, it is usually because of an empty oil tank or diluted oil.
In freezing weather the oil feed may clog with ice and sludge, preventing oil circulation. A grounded oil signal switch wire.
A faulty signal switch.
A damaged or improperly installed check valve. Trouble with the pump.
If the oil pressure indicator lamp remains lit, always check the oil supply first. If the oil supply is normal and the lamp is still lit, stop the engine at once and do not ride further until the trouble is located and the necessary repairs are made. Failure to do so may result in engine damage. (00157a)

See Indicator Lamps: Touring Models. Cruise control equipped models feature two additional indicator lamps.
An orange lamp on the cruise control switch which indicates the cruise control is ON or OFF.
A green lamp on the tachometer (speedometer for FLHR models) face indicates the cruise control is SET or NOT SET.
NOTE:
Touring Models are either equipped with cruise control or are cruise control ready. See a Harley Davidson dealer for more information.
ABS Lamp
See Indicator Lamps: Touring Models. On ABS equipped models, the amber ABS indicator lamp begins to flash at key ON to indicate that the system is operational. It continues to flash until motorcycle speed exceeds 3 mph 5 km/h . Continuous illumination of the lamp will only occur when ABS detects that the system is malfunctioning. In the diagnostic mode, the lamp will also illuminate to indicate the presence of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). See a HarleyDavidson dealer for service.
If ABS lamp remains on continuously, the ABS is not operating. The standard brake system is operational, but wheel lock up can occur. Contact a HarleyDavidson Dealer to have ABS repaired. A locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00361a)
Cruise Control: Touring Models
Operating Controls
The cruise control system provides automatic vehicle speed control.
Do not use the cruise control system in heavy traffic, on roads with sharp or blind curves or on slippery roads of any kind. Using the cruise control in these circumstances can cause loss of control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00083a)
See Cruise Control Fairing Cap Switch. A fairing cap cruise control switch located to the right of the ignition/headlamp key switch turns the cruise control system ON and OFF.
On FLHR models, the cruise control switch housing is on the left handlebar.
NOTE:
The cruise control icon on the speedometer or tachometer will turn orange to indicate the cruise control is ON. If the orange icon does NOT come on, the system is NOT ON. You cannot SET cruise speed, see your dealer.

The RESUME/SET switch controls several system functions, including set, resume, accelerate and decelerate.
Cruise Control Fairing Cap Switch
RESUME/SET Switch
Cruise Control Operation
Theory of Operation
The cruise control is designed to be safely operated with minimum movement by the rider and all rider control actions are natural and easy.
NOTES:
The rider always overrides and controls the system.
The system will not work at vehicle speeds below 30 mph 48 km/h or above 85 mph 137 km/h .
The system is managed by the ECM. The tachometer provides information to disengage the system if the engine RPM suddenly increases.
Besides the ECM, the system has other components: a steppermotor (controlled by the computer) which operates the throttle during CRUISE operation, and several internal switches, all sending information to the computer.
The system will allow rider to increase speed 10 mph 16 km/h or more (depending on how hard the rider rolls on the throttle and the condition of the bike) over the SET point before deactivating. This feature allows the rider to momentarily increase speed, if necessary.
Rolling on the throttle to greatly increase speed may deactivate the system.

1.See Indicator Lamps: Touring Models. Turn the cruise control switch to the ON position. The orange icon on the cruise gauge face will light when activated.
2.With the motorcycle traveling at the desired cruise speed of 3085 mph 48137 km/h , momentarily push the RESUME/SET switch on the right handlebar to SET. After a delay of about 11/2 seconds, the icon will turn green on the face of the gauge to indicate the selected cruising speed is locked in.
Disengaging Cruise Control
The cruise control automatically disengages whenever the cruise control module receives one of the following inputs:
1.Front and/or rear brake is applied.
2.Throttle is rolled back or closed, thereby actuating rolloff (disengage) switch.
3.Motorcycle clutch is disengaged (module senses too great an increase in RPM).
4.Vehicle speed is out of the operating range.
NOTE:
Rolling on the throttle more than 10 mph 16 km/h above the set speed may also deactivate the cruise control.
When the cruise is disengaged, the green cruise engaged icon on the face of the gauge changes to orange. The orange cruise control system icon remains ON until the main switch is turned off.
However, should you decide to SET a cruise speed, RESUME last set speed, ACCELERATE or DECELERATE, simply press the RESUME/SET switch.
Resuming Cruise Speed
If the system is deactivated using one of the methods described under DEACTIVATING CRUISE CONTROL, the system is still ON should you decide to RESUME the set speed. To accomplish this, simply press the RESUME/SET switch to RESUME.
NOTE:
The computer will hold the SET speed in memory for the RESUME function. If the vehicle speed drops more than 15 mph 24 km/h below the SET speed, speed can no longer be RESUMED. If cruise operation is still desired, press the RESUME/SET switch to SET to reset the cruise speed.
Accelerating Above Cruise Speed
1.With the cruise speed set, momentarily press the RESUME/SET switch to RESUME to increase the speed by 1 mph 1.6 km/h .
2.Pressing and holding the RESUME/SET switch at RESUME will cause the system to continue to increase speed in increments of approximately 1 mph 1.6 km/h until the switch is released. There is a delay of about 2 seconds before the speed increases.
Decelerating Cruise Control
1.With the cruise speed set, momentarily press the RESUME/SET switch to SET to reduce the speed by 1 mph 1.6 kph .
2.Pressing and holding the RESUME/SET switch at SET will cause the system to continue to reduce speed in increments of approximately 1 mph 1.6 kph until the switch is released. There is a delay of about 2 seconds before the speed decreases.
Deactivating Cruise Control
Turn cruise control switch to the OFF position. The orange icon in the gauge is extinguished to indicate the system is OFF.
NOTES:
System will NOT work if:
Rider operates bike at vehicle speeds below 30 mph 48 km/h or above 85 mph 137 km/h . Brake lamps are on constantly. See dealer.
Gear Shift Lever: Touring Models
Location
The clutch must be fully disengaged before attempting a gear shift. Failure to fully disengage the clutch can result in equipment damage. (00182a)
The gear shift lever is located on the left side of the motorcycle and is operated with the left foot. The gear shift lever shifts the sixspeed transmission from one gear to the next.
Shift Pattern
See Shift Pattern: 6Speed Touring Models. The shift pattern is sequential with first gear down and five gears up.
The transmission is shifted into first gear from neutral by pressing the shift lever down until it clicks into gear.
Neutral is located between first and second gear. The green neutral indicator lamp on the dash will illuminate when the transmission is in neutral.
To shift from first gear to neutral, lift the gear shift lever 1/2 of its full stroke.
To upshift to the next higher gear, lift the gear shift lever up until it clicks into gear.
To downshift to the next lower gear, press the gear shift lever down until it clicks into gear.
NOTES:
Release the foot shift lever after each gear change. This allows the lever to return to its central
position before another gear change can be made.
HeelToe Foot Shifter
See Shift Pattern: 6Speed Touring Models. Touring Models are fitted with a heeltoe shifter lever. Two shift levers are fitted to the shifter shaft one facing forward and one rearward.
The toe of the left foot can upshift or downshift using the front shift lever. However, the rider has the option of upshifting with the heel on the rear facing shift lever.
Shift Pattern: 6Speed Touring Models
Shifting While Stopped
When difficulty of shifting gears is experienced, do not under any circumstances, attempt to force the shift. The results of such abuse will be a damaged or broken shifter mechanism. (00161a)
When the motorcycle is standing still in first gear with the engine off or in neutral with the engine
running, the transmission may not shift gears. Because the rear wheel and drive belt are not turning, the transmission gear teeth and engagement dogs can not line up.
To get one gear to disengage and the next gear to engage, pull the clutch lever in and move the motorcycle backward and forward while maintaining slight pressure on the shift lever.
See Shifting Gears for more information.
Brake System
General
The rear brake pedal controls the rear wheel brake and is located on the motorcycle’s right side. Operate the rear brake pedal with the right foot.
The front brake hand lever controls the front wheel brake and is located on the right handlebar. Operate the hand lever with the fingers of the right hand.
Do not position fingers between hand control lever and handlebar grip. Improper hand positioning can impair control lever operation and cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00032a)
Some models are equipped with an antilock braking system.
NonABS Brake System
Apply brakes uniformly and evenly to prevent wheels from locking. Use front and rear brakes equally for best results.
Do not apply brake strongly enough to lock the wheel. A locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00053a)
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
HarleyDavidson’s AntiLock Brake System assists the rider in maintaining control when braking in a straightline emergency situation. ABS operates independently on front and rear brakes to keep the wheels rolling and prevent uncontrolled wheel lockups either on dry pavement or on slick surfaces such as gravel, leaves or when riding in wet conditions.
ABS: How It Works
The ABS monitors sensors at the front and rear wheels to determine wheel speed. If the system detects one or both wheels are slowing down too quickly, which indicates they are close to locking, or if the deceleration rate does not match a criteria stored in memory, the ABS reacts. The system rapidly opens and closes valves to modulate the brake pressure being applied by the rider. During ABS activation, the system provides the electronic equivalent of manually pumping the brakes and is capable of cycling up to seven times per second.
The rider will recognize ABS activation by the slight pulsing sensation in the hand lever or the rear brake pedal. The pulsing sensation may also be accompanied by a clicking sound from the ABS module. Both are the result of normal operation. Refer to ABS Symptoms and Conditions.
ABS: How To Use
While an advantage in emergency braking, ABS is not a substitute for safe riding. The safest way to stop a motorcycle is upright with both wheels straight.
HarleyDavidson ABS is a manual assist system. When in an emergency stopping situation, maintain pressure on the brakes through all ABS events. Do not modulate or «pump» the brake controls. The wheels won’t lock until the end of the stop when motorcycle speed reaches approximately four miles per hour and ABS is no longer needed.
ABS cannot prevent lockup of rear wheel due to engine braking. ABS will not aid in cornering or on loose/uneven surfaces. A locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00362a)
More information is available at www.harleydavidson.com/abs.
ABS: Tires and Wheels
ABS motorcycles must always use tires and wheels that are the same as the original equipment. The ABS monitors the rotational speed of the wheels through individual wheel speed sensors. Changing to different diameter wheels or different sized tires can alter the rotational speed. This can upset the calibration of the ABS and have an adverse effect on its ability to detect and prevent uncontrolled wheel lockups. Tire inflation pressure that is significantly low also can have an adverse effect.

Jiffy Stand
Always park motorcycle on a level, firm surface. An unbalanced motorcycle can fall over, which could result in death or serious injury. (00039a)
The jiffy stand is located on the left side of the motorcycle and swings outward to support the motorcycle for parking.
The jiffy stand locks when placed in the full forward (down) position with vehicle weight on it. If the jiffy stand is not in the full forward (down) position with vehicle weight on it, the vehicle can fall over which could result in death or serious injury. (00006a)
Be sure jiffy stand is fully retracted before riding. If jiffy stand is not fully retracted, it can contact the road surface causing a loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00007a)
Jiffy Stand Interlock: International Models
International models are equipped with a jiffy stand interlock feature.
If the rider attempts to start the engine or pushes the starter button while the transmission is in gear and the jiffy stand is down, then the jiffy stand interlock system will not permit the engine to run. The message «SidE StAnd» will scroll across the odometer to indicate this to the rider. Raising the jiffy stand (or putting the transmission in neutral) will permit the engine to run and clear the message.
If the jiffy stand falls out of the fully retracted position while riding at speeds greater than 10 mph 15 kph , then the jiffy stand interlock system will maintain engine operation and alert the rider about this by illuminating the indicators (flash twice) and scroll the message «SidE StAnd» across the odometer. The message will remain until the system detects the jiffy stand in the fully retracted position again. The rider may continue to operate the vehicle while in this mode.
The rider may clear the text messages at any time by pressing the function switch once while the vehicle is powered up.
NOTE:
If the operation of raising the jiffy stand and putting the transmission in gear is rapidly executed, the jiffy stand bouncing off the frame could cause the jiffy stand interlock system to activate and stop the engine.
Rear View Mirrors
Objects in mirrors are closer than they appear. Use caution when judging distance of objects in mirrors. Failure to judge correct distances could result in death or serious injury. (00033a)
Your vehicle is equipped with two convex rear view mirrors.
This type of mirror is designed to give a much wider view to the rear than a flat mirror. However, cars and other objects seen in this type of mirror will look smaller and farther away than they actually are.
Use caution when judging the size or relative distance of objects seen in rear view mirrors. Always adjust the rear view mirrors to clearly reflect the area behind the motorcycle before riding.
NOTE:
Adjust mirrors so you can see a small portion of your shoulders in each mirror. This will help you establish the relative distance of vehicles to the rear of your motorcycle.
Fuel Filler Cap: Touring Models
To open, turn fuel filler cap counterclockwise and lift up. To close, turn fuel filler cap clockwise until it clicks. The ratchet action of the cap prevents overtightening.
Remove the fuel filler cap slowly. Fill fuel tank slowly to prevent fuel spillage. Do not fill above the bottom of the filler neck insert. Leave enough air space to allow for fuel expansion. Expansion can cause an overfilled tank to overflow fuel through the filler cap vent onto surrounding areas. After refueling, be sure filler cap is securely tightened. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive. Inadequate safety precautions could result in death or serious injury.
NOTES:
FLHT/FLTR model fuel filler cap is located beneath a door and have a ratchet action. The fuel filler cap should be fully closed before closing the fuel door.
Fuel filler cap turns approximately a 3/4 turn before it starts unscrewing.
See Fuel Tank: FLHR. FLHR model fuel filler cap is located on the right side of the fuel tank. The cap on the left side is the fuel gauge and is not removable.
See SAFE OPERATING RULES and review safety procedures listed below.
1.Fuel gauge
2.Fuel filler cap
3.Function switch
Fuel Tank: FLHR
Do not spill fuel onto the motorcycle while refueling. Immediately wipe up fuel spills on your motorcycle. Fuel can cause damage to cosmetic surfaces. (00147b)
Use only unleaded fuel in catalytic converterequipped motorcycles. Using leaded fuel will damage the emission control system. (00150b)
Do not store motorcycle with gasoline in tank within the home or garage where open flames, pilot lights, sparks or electric motors are present. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00003a)
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)
Do not use aftermarket fuel caps. Aftermarket fuel caps may fit improperly and leak, which could lead to death or serious injury. See a HarleyDavidson dealer for approved fuel caps. (00034a)
Rear Air Suspension
General
See Rear Air Suspension Air Valve. All models feature airadjustable rear suspension. Air pressure in the rear shocks may be adjusted to suit load requirements, riding style and personal comfort.
For FLHR/C, FLHT/C/U and FLTR models with standard shocks, refer to Standard Rear Suspension Recommended Air Pressure: FLHR/C, FLHT/C/U and FLTR.
For FLHX models with low profile shocks, refer to Low Profile Rear Suspension Recommended Air Pressures: FLHX.
NOTE:
These are recommended starting points. Adjust to suit load conditions, riding style and comfort desired. Less initial pressure does not necessarily result in a softer ride. Using pressures outside the recommended loading range will result in a reduction of available suspension travel and reduced rider comfort.

Adjusting Shock Pressure
See Rear Air Suspension Air Valve. To adjust the rear shock air pressure, use an air pump to fill or release air from the air valve located just below the frame cover on the left side of the vehicle.
Do not exceed maximum air pressure for rear suspension. Air components fill rapidly. Therefore, use low air line pressure. Failure to do so may result in possible damage to components. (00165a)
NOTE:
An AIR SUSPENSION PUMP AND GAUGE HD34633 is available at your HarleyDavidson dealer.
Use caution when bleeding air from the suspension. Moisture combined with lubricant may leak onto the rear wheel, tire and/or brake components and adversely affect traction, which could result in death or serious injury. (00084a)
NOTES:
Do not exceed max GVWR or GAWR.
ON FLHX MODELS: Always clear the line by adding 35 psi 2135 kPa before releasing air from the pump’s valve, but do not exceed 50 psi 345 kPa .
ON ALL BUT FLHX MODELS: Always clear the line by adding 35 psi 2135 kPa before releasing air from the pump’s valve, but do not exceed 35 psi 241 kPa .
Rear Air Suspension Air Valve
Luggage
Do not exceed the motorcycle’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Exceeding these weight ratings can affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00016e)
GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle, accessories, and the maximum weight of the rider, passenger and cargo that can be safely carried.
GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely carried on each axle.
The GVWR and GAWR is shown on the information plate, located on the frame steering head.

Safety First
Safe Operating Rules: Touring Models
Motorcycles are different from other vehicles. They operate, steer, handle and
brake differently. Unskilled or improper use could result in loss of control, death or
serious injury. (00556c)
Take a rider training course.
Read Owner’s Manual before riding, adding accessories or servicing.
Wear a helmet, eye protection and protective clothing.
Never tow a trailer.
Before operating your new motorcycle it is your responsibility to read and follow the operating and
maintenance instructions in this manual, and follow these basic rules for your personal safety.
Know and respect the rules of the road (see RULES OF THE ROAD section). Carefully read and
observe the rules contained in the RIDING TIPS booklet accompanying this Owner’s Manual.
Read and familiarize yourself with the contents of the MOTORCYCLE HANDBOOK for your
state.
Before starting engine, check for proper operation of brake, clutch, shifter, throttle controls,
correct fuel and oil supply.
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)

Harley-Davidson is a world-famous manufacturer of heavy motorcycles of American origin. The company produces high-power products, which are intended for movement on highways and
very popular among professional bikers.
The Harley-Davidson brand has become one of the most recognizable worldwide. Harley-Davidson has created a whole community of fans of this motorcycle technology, which has more
than a million people.
The story of Harley-Davidson began in 1904 when friends Arthur Davidson and William Harley created their first motorcycle model in a small workshop. It was completely manual
work, which had no analogues. Over time, a motorcycle assembly line factory began to be built on the site of the workshop.
In 1903, an engine with a capacity of 400 cc was installed on a prototype of a modern motorcycle. This model is still kept in the company’s history museum.
Until 1906, the company had already released more than 50 models of equipment. The company’s turnover grew rapidly and did not fade even during the crisis.
By 1950, Harley-Davidson motorcycles became the favorite biker models. World-famous female racer Bessie Stringfield traveled on a motorcycle almost all of the United States, which also served as
a good advertisement for the company.
In 1984, the company began developing heavy equipment and launched the world’s first engine with a volume of over 1300 cc.
In the early 2000s, Harley-Davidson opened new plants in the United States and modernized the line of tourist motor vehicles. The introduction of new production stages and design
solutions positively influenced the success of the company.
In 2013, the company released a record model with a combined type of cooling and maximum technology, which became a real dream of all professional bikers.
Currently, the company is testing new models of eco-motor vehicles based on electric type engines, which are also due to enter production in the near future.
