Street Glide Special Owner's Manual
Safety First
Safe Operating Rules
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 motorcycle, 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. Carefully read and
familiarize yourself with the motorcycle safety information provided by your country or state.
Read the RIDING TIPS booklet in your owner's kit (in the U.S.) and the MOTORCYCLE
HANDBOOK from your state or regional traffic authority. The RIDING TIPS booklet is also
available on www.msfusa.org.
Before starting engine, check for proper operation of brake, clutch, shifter, throttle controls,
correct fuel and oil supply.
HarleyDavidson parts and accessories are designed for
HarleyDavidson motorcycles. Using nonHarleyDavidson
parts or accessories can adversely affect performance,
stability or handling, which could result in death or serious
injury. (00001b)
Use only HarleyDavidson approved parts and accessories. Use of certain other
manufacturer's performance parts may void your new motorcycle warranty, except where
prohibited by law. See your HarleyDavidson 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, observe the following rules.
Refuel in a 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)
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
A new motorcycle must be operated according to the special breakin procedure. See
Breakin Riding Rules.
Operate motorcycle at moderate speed and out of traffic until you become thoroughly
familiar with its operation and handling characteristics under all conditions.
NOTE:
HarleyDavidson recommends that you obtain information and formal training in the correct
motorcycle riding technique. In the United States, both the HarleyDavidson™ Riding Academy
(14143434056) and the Motorcycle Safety Foundation® (18004469227) offer beginning and
advanced rider safety courses.
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. Keep both hands on the handlebar
grips when riding the motorcycle. Any twowheeled vehicle may be subject to upsetting
forces such as wind blasts from passing trucks, holes in the pavement, rough road surfaces
and rider control error. These forces may influence the handling characteristics of your
motorcycle. If you experience these conditions, 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. 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 riding at moderate speeds.
Operate your motorcycle defensively. Remember, a motorcycle does not afford the same
protection as an automobile in an accident. One common risk for an accident occurs when
another vehicle turns left in front of an 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 the RIDING TIPS booklet included in your owner's kit (in the U.S.) or
available on www.msfusa.org.
Do not allow other individuals, under any circumstances, to operate your motorcycle unless
you know that they are experienced and licensed riders. Make sure they are thoroughly
familiar with the operation of your particular motorcycle.
Protect your motorcycle against theft. Using the fork lock immediately after parking your
motorcycle will discourage unauthorized use or theft.
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.
For vehicles with a sound system, adjust the volume to a nondistracting level before
operating vehicle.
Maintain your motorcycle in proper operating condition in accordance with Regular Service
Intervals: 2015 Touring Models. Proper care and maintenance, including tire pressure,
condition and tread depth plus proper adjustment to steering head bearings are important to
the stability and safe operation.
When lifting a motorcycle using a jack, be sure jack
contacts both lower frame tubes where down tubes and
lower frame tubes converge. Never lift by jacking on cross
members, oil pan, mounting brackets, components or
housings. Failure to comply can cause serious damage
resulting in the need to perform major repair work.
(00586d)
Do not operate vehicle with forks locked. Locking the forks
restricts the vehicle's turning ability, which could result in
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
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
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
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, undamaged,
and have adequate tread. Inspect your tires regularly and
see a HarleyDavidson dealer for replacements. Riding
with excessively worn, unbalanced, improperly inflated,
overloaded or damaged tires can lead to tire failure and
in death or serious injury. (00014b)
Replace punctured or damaged tires. In some cases, small
punctures in the tread area may be repaired from within
the removed 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 lead to tire failure and result in death or serious
injury. (00015b)
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)
Do not exceed the motorcycle's Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
Exceeding these weight ratings can lead to component
failure and adversely affect stability, handling and
performance, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00016f)
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 label, on the frame steering head or
the frame downtube.
Refer to weight tables. See Specifications.
Do not tow a disabled motorcycle. Towing can adversely
affect stability and handling, which could result in death or
Do not pull a trailer with a motorcycle. Pulling a trailer can
cause tire overload, damage and failure, reduced braking
performance, and adversely affect stability and handling,
which could result in death or serious injury. (00018c)
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
defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling. (00019e)
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)
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
Make sure all equipment required by federal, state and local law is installed and in good
operating condition.
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
If ABS lamp continues flashing at speeds greater than 3
mph (5 km/h) or 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. (00361b)
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)
See Brake System to operate motorcycles equipped with an antilock brake system.
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 ft 30.5 m 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 STOP to
GO) 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. Make sure your way is clear to enter
moving traffic. A moving line of traffic always has the rightofway.
Make sure your license plate is installed in the position specified by law and is clearly visible
at all times. Keep the license 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 Accessories and Cargo section in your owner's
manual. Improper cargo loading or accessory installation
can cause component failure and adversely affect stability,
handling and performance, which could result in death or
serious injury. (00021b)
(00016f)
GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle, accessories, and the maximum weight of
The GVWR and GAWR are shown on the information label which is located on the frame
downtube in some destinations.
Refer to weight tables. See Specifications.
Do not pull a trailer with a motorcycle. Pulling a trailer can
cause tire overload, damage and failure, reduced braking
performance, and adversely affect stability and handling,
which could result in death or serious injury. (00018c)
Accessories and Cargo Guidelines
The following guidelines should be used when equipping a motorcycle, carrying passengers
and/or cargo.
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, and keep both hands on the
handlebar grips at all times when riding the motorcycle. Any twowheeled vehicle may be
subject to upsetting forces such as wind blasts from passing trucks, holes in the pavement,
rough road surfaces, rider control error, and so on. These forces may influence the handling
characteristics of your motorcycle. If you experience these conditions, 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.
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.
(00022b)
Large surfaces such as fairings, windshields, backrests, and luggage racks can have an
adverse effect on stability and handling.
Only properly installed Genuine HarleyDavidson accessories designed specifically for your
motorcycle model should be used.
Pay particular attention to the weights of accessories, cargo, riding gear, passenger and
rider and how the sum total of all these weights affect the loading capacity of your
motorcycle.
HarleyDavidson motorcycles. Using nonHarleyDavidson
parts or accessories can adversely affect performance,
stability or handling, which could result in death or serious
injury. (00001b)
Do not add sidecar to this motorcycle. Operating
motorcycle with sidecar can cause loss of vehicle control,
which could result in death or serious injury. (00590d)
Noise Control System
Tampering
Removal or replacement of any noise control system component may be prohibited by law. This
prohibition includes modifications made 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.

Tire Data
Match tires, tubes, rim strips or seals, air valves and caps
to the correct wheel. Contact a HarleyDavidson dealer.
Mismatching can lead to tire damage, allow tire slippage
on the wheel or cause tire failure, which could result in
death or serious injury. (00023c)
Use only HarleyDavidson specified tires. See a Harley
Davidson dealer. Using nonspecified tires can adversely
affect stability, handling or braking, which could result in
Refer to Specified Tires for specified tires and recommended pressures.
Tubeless tires fitted with the correct size inner tubes may be used on HarleyDavidson laced (wire
spoked) wheels. Install a new rim strip and correct size inner tube each time a new tire is installed
on a laced wheel.
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)
Always maintain proper tire pressure as specified in Specified Tires. Do not load tires beyond
GAWR specified in Weights: FLHTCU/L, FLHTCU/L TC, FLHTK/L. Underinflated, over
inflated or overloaded tires can fail.
Replace tire immediately with a HarleyDavidson specified
tire when wear bars become visible or only 1/32 in (0.8
mm) tread depth remains. Riding with a worn tire could
result in death or serious injury. (00090c)
Do not use liquid tire balancers or sealants in aluminum
wheels. Using liquid tire balancers or sealants can cause
rapid corrosion of the rim surface, which could cause tire
deflation. Tire deflation can cause loss of vehicle control,
which could result in death or serious injury. (00631b)
HarleyDavidson tires have wear bars that run horizontally across the tread. When a tire is worn to
the point that the wear bars are visible, or 1/32 in 0.8 mm tread depth remains, the tire can:
Be more easily damaged leading to tire failure.
Provide reduced traction.
Adversely affect stability and handling.
HarleyDavidson does not perform any testing with only nitrogen in tires. HarleyDavidson neither
recommends nor discourages the use of pure nitrogen to inflate tires.
India Tire Compliance Statement: HarleyDavidson Motor Company declares that the tires listed
in the specifications section (India Only) meet the Indian Standard 15627 requirement of the
Bureau of Indian Standards (as amended from time to time) required for registration of vehicles
assembled/manufactured in India. These tires also comply with the Central Motor Vehicle Rules
requirements, 1989.
Fuel
Always use a good quality unleaded gasoline. Octane ratings are usually found on the pump.
Refer to Octane Ratings.
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
Use care when refueling. Pressurized air in fuel tank can
force gasoline to escape through filler tube. Gasoline is
Modern service station pumps dispense a high flow of gasoline into a motorcycle fuel tank. This
can cause air entrapment and pressurization.
Octane Ratings
SPECIFICATION RATING
Pump Octane (R+M)/2 91 (95 RON)
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/METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE) blends are a mixture of gasoline and
as much as 15 percent MTBE. Gasoline/MTBE blends use in your motorcycle is approved.
ETHANOL fuel is a mixture of ethanol (grain alcohol) and unleaded gasoline and can have
an impact on fuel mileage. Fuels with an ethanol content of up to 10 percent may be used in
your motorcycle without affecting vehicle performance. U.S. EPA regulations currently
indicate that fuels with 15 percent ethanol (E15) are restricted from use in motorcycles at the
time of this publication. Some motorcycles are calibrated to operate with higher ethanol
concentrations to meet the fuel standards in certain countries.
REFORMULATED OR OXYGENATED GASOLINES (RFG) describes gasoline blends that
are specifically designed to burn cleaner than other types of gasoline. This results in fewer
tailpipe emissions. They are also formulated to evaporate less when filling the tank.
Reformulated gasolines use additives to oxygenate the gas. Your motorcycle will run
normally using this type of fuel. HarleyDavidson recommends using it whenever possible as
an aid to cleaner air in our environment.
Do not use racing fuel or fuel containing methanol. Use of these fuels will damage the fuel
system.
Using fuel additives other than those approved for use by HarleyDavidson may damage the
engine, fuel system and other components.
Some gasoline blends might adversely affect starting, driveability or fuel efficiency. If any of these
problems are experienced, try a different brand of gasoline or gasoline with a higher octane blend.
Catalytic Converter
The motorcycle is equipped with a catalytic converter in the exhaust pipe collector.
Do not operate catalytic converterequipped vehicle with
engine misfire. If you operate the vehicle under this
condition, the exhaust will become abnormally hot, which
can cause vehicle damage, including emission control
loss. (00149c)
Use only unleaded fuel in catalytic converterequipped
motorcycles. Using leaded fuel will damage the emission
control system. (00150b)

Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
The motorcycle is equipped with Electronic Throttle Control (ETC). Instead of using a mechanical cable connection to th
throttle body, this technology uses redundant grip sensors to indicate rider requested throttle position to the Electronic
Control Module (ECM). The ECM then regulates proper fuel/air intake and ignition timing based on the rider's actions. T
grip sensor is manufactured with internal cams and spring retainer for natural feel and operation.
In the event of a component failure, the ETC operation is designed for rider safety and continued motorcycle operation.
Electronic Control Module monitors the status of the grip sensors, throttle plate actuation and airflow. If any problems ar
detected, the motorcycle will disable cruise control, illuminate the check engine 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 unintende
acceleration.
ETC Power Management Mode
The throttle plate actuator returns to an "idle detent" or "limphome" position, which will provide enough torque to achiev
speed of about 25 mph 40 km/h . 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 to
to operate at traffic speeds.
ETC Forced Shutdown Mode
The engine is forced to shut down.

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 emerge
situation. ABS operates independently on front and rear brakes to keep the wheels rolling and prevent uncontrolled whe
lockups either on dry pavement or on slick surfaces such as gravel, leaves or when riding in wet conditions.
How ABS Works
The ABS monitors sensors at the front and rear wheels to determine wheel speed. If the system detects one or both wh
are slowing down too quickly, which indicates they are close to locking, or if the deceleration rate does not match a crite
stored in memory, the ABS reacts. The system rapidly opens and closes valves to modulate the brake caliper pressure
utilizing only the brake lever/pedal 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 pul
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.
How To Use ABS
While an advantage in emergency braking, ABS is not a substitute for safe riding. The safest way to stop a motorcycle i
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 will not lock until the end of t
stop when motorcycle speed reaches approximately 4 mph 6 km/h 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)
ABS: Tires and Wheels
ABS motorcycles must always use HarleyDavidson specified tires and wheels. The ABS monitors the rotational speed
the wheels through individual wheel speed sensors. Changing to different diameter wheels or differentsized tires can a
the rotational speed. This can upset the calibration of the ABS and have an adverse effect on its ability to detect and pre
uncontrolled wheel lockups. Operating at tire pressures other than those specified in Specified Tires can reduce ABS
braking performance.

Reflex Linked Brake Operation
2014 and later Touring motorcycles with the Reflex antilock brake system have electronically linked brake functionality.
linked brake system provides more responsiveness and allows for more balanced front and rear braking under a wide
variety of brake applications.
At speeds greater than 2025 mph 3240 km/h , the system dynamically adjusts the linking for the amount of brake appl
as well as vehicle speed to achieve a more optimized brake balance. The system provides more linking when the rider i
applying heavier braking, and reduces or eliminates linking for light braking and low speeds.
When linked, applying the front brake lever alone will cause the system to also dynamically apply an amount of braking
the rear. Applying the rear brake pedal alone will cause the system to also apply an amount of braking to the left front
caliper. When applying both brakes, the system attempts to dynamically balance braking across both the front and rear
wheels.
At speeds less than 2025 mph 3240 km/h , the brakes are not linked so that low speed maneuverability is not adverse
affected, such as when riding the motorcycle in a parking lot.
Passenger Footboards/Footrests
Passenger footboards/footrests can be adjusted to one of three positions. Before moving to a new position, remove

Components
The security system consists of a control module, a handsfree antenna and a handsfree fob
carried by the rider/passenger.
After parking the motorcycle, turn the ignition to OFF or ACCESSORY and the security system
will automatically arm within five seconds. While armed, the starter and ignition are disabled and
the rider can leave the motorcycle knowing that the module disables the ignition if someone
tampers with the ignition switch or activate an alarm if someone attempts to move the motorcycle.
If the fob is present, the module automatically disarms when the ignition is turned to IGNITION or
ACCESSORY.
NOTES:
If disconnecting the battery, see Disconnecting Power to prevent the optional security
system siren from sounding.
Do not relocate the module or the antenna.

Security System Fob
Fob Assignment
See Fob: Security System. Fobs are electronically assigned to the security system by a Harley
Davidson dealer. Up to two fobs can be assigned at any one time.
Replacement fobs can be purchased from a dealership but can only be assigned to the
motorcycle by a trained HarleyDavidson technician.
NOTES:
The reusable label found on the fob packaging lists the serial number of the fob. For
reference, affix the label to a blank "NOTES" page in this Owner's Manual.
The serial number of the fob is also found on the inside of the fob. See Fob Battery.
The module will arm only if the fob has been assigned by a HarleyDavidson dealer and a
personal identification number (PIN) has been entered in the system. Write the PIN on the
personal information page in the front of this owner's manual and on the removable wallet
card.
If the fob is misplaced or the fob fails, refer to the wallet card and use the PIN to manually
disarm the system. Refer to Arming and Disarming and Troubleshooting.
The rider can change the PIN at any time. Refer to Arming and Disarming.
Riding with a Fob
Always carry the fob when riding, loading, fueling, moving, parking or servicing the
motorcycle. Carry the fob in a convenient pocket.
Do not leave the fob attached to the handlebars or store the fob in a luggage compartment.
Unintentionally leaving the fob with the motorcycle when it is parked prevents the system
from activating the alarm.
Do not ride with the fob stored in a metal case or with the fob closer than 3.0 in 76 mm to a
mobile phone, PDA, display or other electronic device. Any electromagnetic interference
may prevent the fob from disarming the system.
For added security, always lock the fork and remove the key when parked. If the fob is
within range and the motorcycle is unlocked, tampering with the motorcycle will not activate
the alarm.
Riding without a Fob
If the motorcycle is ridden off without the fob, the odometer window temporarily displays "NO
FOB." To restart a motorcycle without a fob, disarm the security system with the PIN.
Fob: Security System
Personal Identification Number (PIN)
The personal identification number (PIN) is a number that can be used to disarm the security
system. Use the PIN in case the assigned fob is misplaced, fails or if the fob cannot communicate
with the motorcycle because of electromagnetic interference.
A PIN is a fivedigit number (19, no zeros).

Security Status Indicator
See Instruments (Fairing Models, typical). The electrical system lamp in the speedometer
face indicates the status of the security system.
Armed: A lamp that blinks approximately every 3 seconds indicates that the system is
armed.
Disarmed: After the system disarms and the ignition is on, the lamp will remain illuminated
for approximately four seconds and then turn off.
Service: A lamp that remains illuminated longer than four seconds when the system is
disarmed indicates that service of the module is required.
Arming and Disarming
Arming
When the motorcycle is parked and the ignition is turned to OFF or ACCESSORY, the security
system arms automatically within five seconds if no motion is detected. Even when the fob is
present, the system arms.
On arming, the turn signals flash twice and the optional siren chirps twice if the siren is in the chirp
mode. While armed, the indicator lamp in the speedometer face flashes every three seconds.
NOTE:
International models: The system must be in the chirp mode for the siren to chirp on arming or
disarming. See Siren Chirp Mode (Confirmation).
Disarming
With the fob present, the rider may ride or move the motorcycle for parking, storage or service
without setting off the alarm. Disarming is automatic as long as the fob is within range.
Fob: An armed security system is automatically disarmed when the fob is present and the
motorcycle is moved or the ignition switch is turned to IGNITION or ACCESSORY.
When the system disarms, the optional siren chirps once and the security indicator lamp
illuminates for a solid four seconds and then turns off.
NOTE:
On any motion, like lifting the motorcycle up off its jiffy stand or turning the ignition to ON, the
system will electronically "poll" for the presence of the fob. If the fob is present, the system
disarms.
Personal identification number (PIN): If the fob is misplaced or if the present fob fails to
communicate, the system can be disarmed with the personal identification number (PIN). Refer to
Entering a PIN to Disarm Security System.
Disarming with a PIN
Disarm the security system manually using the PIN if the fob is lost, the fob battery is discharged
or if where you parked there is a strong electromagnetic interference.
Do not turn handlebars, straddle seat or lift motorcycle off the jiffy stand. During a PIN disarm, if
the security system detects motorcycle motion the system will activate the alarm.
NOTES:
If a mistake is made while entering PIN, turn the ignition Switch to OFF before entering the
last digit and then start the procedure from the beginning.
If the procedure fails to disarm the security system, wait two minutes before attempting
another PIN disarm.
The security system remains disarmed until the ignition is turned to OFF.
At any time during a PIN disarm if the fob is brought within range, the security system
disarms as the module receives the coded signal from the fob.

the alarm will warn the operator with three alternate flashes of the turn signals and a chirp of the
optional siren.
Within four seconds, if the motorcycle is back on its jiffy stand and no further motion is detected
and/or the ignition is turned to OFF, the system will remain armed without activating the alarm.
If the motorcycle motion continues, the system will issue a second warning four seconds after the
first.
NOTE:
During warnings and alarms, the starter motor and the ignition circuits are disabled.
Alarm Activation
If the security system is still detecting motion and/or if the ignition has not been turned back to
OFF after a second warning, the system will activate the alarm.
When activated, the security system will:
Alternately flash the four turn signals.
Sound the optional siren.
Duration: The alarm will stop within 30 seconds and if no motion is detected, the alarm will not
restart.
However, if motorcycle motion continues, the system will repeat the 30 second alarm and recheck
for motion. The alarm will repeat this 30 second alarm cycle for five minutes (10 cycles) or until
the alarm is deactivated.
NOTE:
The alarm will also activate the LED, vibration or audible modes of a HarleyDavidson security
pager. A pager can operate either in silent or in combination with an optional siren. The range of a
pager can be up to 0.5 mi 0.8 km . See a HarleyDavidson dealer for details.
Deactivate Alarm
Key fob: Bring the fob to the motorcycle. After the module identifies that the fob is present,
the system will terminate the alarm.
PIN entry: Enter the PIN to deactive the alarm. If an error is made while entering the PIN,
wait until the alarm is between cycles to enter the PIN.
Siren Chirp Mode (Confirmation)
Chirp Mode
In chirp mode, the siren sounds two chirps when arming, and a single chirp when disarming.
Chirpless Mode
In chirpless mode, the siren does not chirp on arming or disarming.
The siren still provides warning chirps and sounds the alarm if motorcycle is moved or ignition
switch is turned on without the fob present.
Switching Modes
Quickly cycling ignition switch ONOFFONOFFON switches the system from one mode to the
other.
1. With the fob present, turn the ignition switch to IGNITION.

5. When the security lamp turns off (but before the turn signals flash twice), immediately turn
the ignition switch to IGNITION.
Transport Mode
When transporting the motorcycle, place the system in the transport mode. Otherwise, the alarm
activated by motion detection can discharge the battery.
In the transport mode, the security system is armed without enabling the motion detector for one
ignition cycle. This allows the vehicle to be picked up and moved in an armed state, however, any
attempt to start the engine when the fob is not within range will trigger the alarm.
To Enter Transport Mode
1. With an assigned fob within range, turn the ignition switch to IGNITION.
2. Before the security system lamp goes out, turn the ignition switch to OFF.
3. Within three seconds, simultaneously press both the left and the right turn signal switches.

2. Discharged fob battery: Use the PIN to disarm the system. Replace the battery. Refer to
Fob Battery.
3. A damaged fob: Use the PIN to disarm the motorcycle. Replacement fobs are available for
purchase from a HarleyDavidson dealer.
Siren
If the siren does not chirp two or three times on a valid arming command from the security
module, the siren is either in the chirpless mode, not connected, not working, or the siren
wiring was opened or shorted while the siren was disarmed.
If the siren is armed and the internal siren battery is dead, shorted, disconnected, or has
been charging for a period longer than 24 hours, the siren will respond with three chirps on
arming instead of two.
The internal siren battery may not charge if the vehicle's battery is less than 12.5 volts.
If the siren enters the selfdriven mode where it is powered from the siren's internal 9 volt
battery, the turn signal lamps may or may not alternately flash. If the security module
activates the siren, the turn signal lamps will alternately flash. If the siren has been armed
and a security event occurs, and the siren is in selfdriven mode, the siren will alarm for 20
30 seconds and then turn off for 510 seconds. This alarm cycle will be repeated ten times if
the siren is in the selfdriven mode.
Operation
Operating Recommendations
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
Read owner's manual before riding, adding accessories or servicing.
Wear a helmet, eye protection and protective clothing.
Do not run the engine at extremely high RPM with clutch
disengaged or transmission in neutral. Running an engine
at high RPM can result in engine damage. (00177a)
Do not exceed the maximum safe RPM specified below
under any conditions. Exceeding the maximum safe
engine RPM can result in equipment damage. (00248a)
The maximum recommended safe engine speed is 5500 rpm.
Do not idle engine unnecessarily for more than a few minutes with motorcycle standing still.
Aircooled engines require air movement over the
cylinders and heads to maintain proper operating
temperature. Extended periods of idling or parade duty can
overheat the engine, resulting in serious engine damage.
(00178a)
An engine running long distances at high speed must be given closer than ordinary attention to
avoid overheating and possible engine damage.
This applies particularly to a motorcycle equipped with windshield and fairing.
NOTE:
Have the engine checked regularly and keep it well tuned.
When riding on wet roads, brake efficiency and traction are
greatly reduced. Failure to use care when braking,
accelerating or turning on wet roads can cause loss of
(00041a)
NOTE:
When descending upon a long, steep grade, downshift and use engine compression together with
intermittent application of both brakes to slow the motorcycle.
Continuous use of brake causes overheating and reduced
efficiency, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00042a)
Do not tow a disabled motorcycle. Towing can adversely
affect stability and handling, which could result in death or

Engine Idle Temperature Management System
The Engine Idle Temperature Management System (EITMS) can provide limited cooling of the
rear cylinder for riders who frequently find themselves in prolonged idle conditions or traffic
congestion.
Operation
When engine temperature reaches a predetermined point, the EITMS turns off the rear cylinder
fuel injector. The rear cylinder becomes an "air pump" which works to cool the engine.
EITMS activates (rear cylinder turns off) when all of the following conditions are met:
NOTE:
EITMS does not activate within the first four minutes after starting the vehicle.
Ambient temperature or engine temperature exceeds temperature threshold
Throttle control is at idle
Vehicle speed under 1 mph 2 km/h
Engine speed under 1200 rpm
EITMS disables (rear cylinder begins firing again) if any one of the following occurs:
Ambient temperature or engine temperature falls below temperature threshold
Throttle control is above idle
Vehicle speed exceeds 2 mph 3 km/h
Engine speed exceeds 1350 rpm
Clutch is released with vehicle in gear
When the engine is in EITMS operation, you may notice a difference in idle cadence. Additionally,
there may be a unique exhaust odor. These are both considered to be normal conditions.
Enabling/Disabling EITMS
Enabled: The EITMS engine cooling feature automatically activates whenever the vehicle comes
to a complete stop and is idling during elevated temperature conditions. When the feature is
enabled, it may not activate under cool riding conditions.
Disabled: The EITMS feature is not active under any conditions.
EITMS can be enabled or disabled by performing the following procedure.
1. Turn ignition switch ON. Push the engine OFF/RUN switch on the right handlebar to the
RUN position (the motorcycle may be running or not running).
2. Push the throttle to rolloff position and hold.
3. See Instruments (Fairing Models, typical) and Instruments: FLHR/FLHRC. After
approximately 3 seconds, the cruise indicator lamp will either flash green (EITMS enabled)
or orange (EITMS disabled).
4. Repeat the procedure as necessary to enable or disable EITMS.
NOTES:
A flashing cruise lamp indicates the EITMS setting. A solid (nonflashing) lamp indicates the
cruise control setting.
The EITMS setting remains in effect until it is changed by the rider or dealer. There is no
need to reconfigure EITMS at each startup.
Stopping the Engine
1. Stop the engine by turning the engine OFF/RUN switch on the right handlebar to OFF.
2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. If the engine should be stalled or stopped in any way, turn
the ignition switch to OFF at once to prevent battery discharge.

Winter Lubrication
Change engine oil often in colder climates. If motorcycle is frequently used for trips less than 15
mi 24 km , in ambient temperatures below 60 °F 16 °C , reduce oil change intervals to 1500 mi
2400 km .
NOTE:
The further below freezing the temperature drops, the shorter the oil change interval should be.
Water vapor is a normal byproduct of combustion in any engine. During cold weather operation,
some water vapor condenses to liquid form on the cool metal surfaces inside the engine. In
freezing weather this water will become slush or ice. Over time, accumulated slush or ice may
block the oil lines and cause engine damage.
If the engine is run frequently and allowed to thoroughly warm up, most of this water will become
vapor again and will be blown out through the crankcase breather.
If the engine is not run frequently and not allowed to thoroughly warm up, this water will
accumulate, mix with the engine oil and form a sludge that is harmful to the engine.
Oil Cooler
Motorcycles with an aircooled Twin Cam 103 or larger engine have an oil cooler. Keep the cooler
clean and free from dirt and debris to maintain maximum cooling efficiency.
Checking Transmission Lubricant
NOTE:
Check transmission fluid with the motorcycle at room temperature.
1. Park on level ground on the jiffy stand.
2. See Transmission Dipstick Location. Remove transmission lubricant dipstick. Wipe
dipstick clean.
3. Insert dipstick into transmission. Thread dipstick in until Oring makes contact with case. Do
not tighten.
4. See Transmission Dipstick Lubricant Level. Remove dipstick. Check lubricant level on
dipstick.
Mixing mineralbased lubricants with SYN3 in the
transmission can damage the transmission. (00452b)
5. The level should be between the A and F marks. Add only enough lubricant to bring level to
between the A mark and the F mark. Refer to Recommended Lubricant.

Cooling System
At operating temperature, radiators and oil coolers contain
hot fluids. Contact with a radiator or oil cooler can result in
minor or moderate burns. (00141b)
Coolant mixture contains toxic chemicals, which may be
fatal if swallowed. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting;
call a physician immediately. Use in a well ventilated area.
Irritation to skin or eyes can occur from vapors or direct
contact. In case of skin or eye contact, flush thoroughly
with water and go to hospital, if necessary. Dispose of
used coolant according to federal, state and local
regulations. (00092a)
Use only Genuine HarleyDavidson Extended Life
Antifreeze and Coolant. Use of other coolants/mixtures
may lead to engine damage. (00179b)
GENUINE HARLEYDAVIDSON EXTENDED LIFE ANTIFREEZE AND COOLANT is prediluted
and ready to use full strength. It provides temperature protection to 34° F 36.7° C . DO NOT add
water.
Deionized water must be used with the antifreeze in the
cooling system. Hard water can cause scale accumulation
in water passages which reduces cooling system
efficiency, leading to overheating and engine damage.
(00195a)
If GENUINE HARLEYDAVIDSON EXTENDED LIFE ANTIFREEZE AND COOLANT is

Checking Drive Belt Deflection
NOTE:
Always use BELT TENSION GAUGE HD35381A to measure belt deflection. Failure to use
tension gauge may cause undertensioned belts. Loose belts can fail due to "ratcheting" (jumping
a tooth) which causes tensile cord crimping and breakage.
Check deflection:
As part of preride inspection.
At every scheduled service interval.
With transmission in neutral.
With motorcycle at ambient temperature.
With motorcycle upright or on jiffy stand with rear wheel on the ground.
With the vehicle unladen: no rider, no luggage and saddlebags (if equipped) empty.
To prevent accidental vehicle startup, which could cause
death or serious injury, remove main fuse before
proceeding. (00251b)
1. Disarm security system. Remove main fuse. See Fuses and Relays.

Hinges and latches (such as fuel door and footrests)
Locks, as required
Jiffy stand (use ANTISEIZE LUBRICANT)
Oil Applications
Refer to Regular Service Intervals: 2015 Touring Models for all control connections and
parts. Vehicle should be lubricated at regular intervals, particularly after washing motorcycle or
driving in wet weather.
Front Fork Oil
Refer to Regular Service Intervals: 2015 Touring Models. Have a HarleyDavidson dealer
service the front fork at proper intervals. If fork does not appear to be working properly or an
appreciable amount of oil leakage should develop, see a HarleyDavidson dealer. If there is
insufficient oil in either side of fork, the rebound action will be incorrect.
Clutch
Refer to Regular Service Intervals: 2015 Touring Models. Maintain the clutch at specified
intervals. If the clutch is not operating properly, see a HarleyDavidson dealer for service.
FLHR/FLHRC: See Mechanical Clutch.
Other models: See Hydraulic Clutch.
Mechanical Clutch
The clutch control cable must be oiled and adjusted
periodically to compensate for lining wear. See
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULING in this manual. Failure to oil
and adjust the clutch control cable can result in equipment
damage. (00203b)
Refer to Regular Service Intervals: 2015 Touring Models. Adjust the clutch control cable at
specified intervals.
If the clutch slips under load or drags when released, the control cable may need to be adjusted
or clutch service may need to be performed. See a HarleyDavidson dealer for service.
Hydraulic Clutch
Refer to Regular Service Intervals: 2015 Touring Models. Check clutch fluid level at
specified intervals.
NOTE:
Clutch fluid should never need to be added or removed from the system during normal wear.
1. Position vehicle on a flat, level surface. Level the master cylinder by turning the handlebar
and/or standing the motorcycle upright (not leaning on jiffy stand).
2. See Clutch Reservoir Sight Glass. View reservoir sight glass. Verify fluid presence. Sight
glass appears dark if fluid is present. If the entire sight glass is not dark then proceed to the
next step.
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
performed. Failure to comply can result in cosmetic
damage. (00239b)
NOTE:
If DOT 4 brake fluid contacts painted surfaces, IMMEDIATELY flush area with clear water.
3. Clean all dirt and debris from the clutch master cylinder cover. Remove the two clutch
master cylinder cover screws. Remove the cover.
4. Verify that the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder reservoir is at the FILL level mark at
the top of the ledge on the rear inside wall of the reservoir. If the fluid level is low, add DOT
4 BRAKE FLUID which is approved for clutch system use and available from a Harley
Davidson dealer.
NOTES:
Do not exceed FILL level. Clutch fluid volume increases with clutch wear. Overfilling
can damage seals and damage clutch system.
If fluid level is substantially above the FILL level, a worn clutch may be the cause.
Check that clutch hand lever returns completely. If lever does not return completely,
problems similar to overfilling can result.
D.O.T. 4 hydraulic brake fluid is used in the hydraulic
clutch. Do not use other types of fluids as they are not
compatible and could cause equipment damage. (00353a)
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)
5. Inspect the clutch master cylinder cover gasket for rips, cuts, cracks or other signs of
damage. Replace the gasket if necessary. Carefully place the cover and cover gasket on the
master cylinder reservoir. Secure with the two cover screws. Tighten the screws to 810 in
lbs (0.91.1 Nm).
NOTE:
If the fluid level is correct but the clutch does not operate properly, refer to the service
manual or see a HarleyDavidson dealer for service.
Clutch Reservoir Sight Glass
Hydraulic Lifters
The hydraulic lifters are selfadjusting. They automatically adjust length to compensate for engine
expansion and valve mechanism wear. This keeps the valve mechanism free of lash when the
engine is running.
When starting an engine which has been turned off even for a few minutes, the valve mechanism
may be slightly noisy until the hydraulic units completely refill with oil. If at any time the valve
mechanism becomes abnormally noisy, other than for a short period immediately after engine is
started, it is an indication that one or more of the hydraulic units may not be functioning properly.
Always check the engine oil level first since normal circulation of oil through the engine is
necessary for proper operation of the hydraulic lifters.
If engine oil is at the proper level, the lifters may not be functioning properly because of dirt in the
oil supply passages leading to the lifter units. See a HarleyDavidson dealer for service.
Steering Head Bearings
Adjustments to steering head bearings should be
performed by a HarleyDavidson dealer. Improperly
adjusted bearings can adversely affect handling and
stability, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00051b)
Refer to Regular Service Intervals: 2015 Touring Models. Service the steering head
bearings at proper intervals. See a HarleyDavidson dealer or service manual.
With motorcycle front end raised off the floor, be sure front fork turns freely without any binding or
interference and that there is no appreciable front to rear fork movement indicating excessive
bearing looseness. Steering head bearings should be adjusted according to service manual
procedure, if necessary.
Brakes
Refer to Regular Service Intervals: 2015 Touring Models. Inspect brake fluid level and
check brake pads and discs for wear at proper intervals.
Brake Fluid
Clean filler cap before removing. Use only D.O.T. 4 brake
fluid from a sealed container. Contaminated fluid can
adversely affect braking, which could result in death or
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
performed. Failure to comply can result in cosmetic
damage. (00239b)
If DOT 4 brake fluid contacts painted surfaces, IMMEDIATELY flush area with clear
water.
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)
NOTE:
If the brake system is not leaking, there should never be a need to add fluid. If the fluid level
is low, the pads are probably worn. By replacing the pads, the fluid level will return to its
normal level.
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid and replace the brake fluid every two years. See a Harley
Davidson dealer.
1. Position vehicle on a flat, level surface.
a. Front brake: Level the master cylinder by turning the handlebar and/or standing the
motorcycle upright (not leaning on jiffy stand).
b. Rear brake: Position the motorcycle so the master cylinder reservoir is level.

Cleaning and Inspection
Battery top must be clean and dry. Dirt and electrolyte on top of the battery can cause battery to
selfdischarge.
1. Clean battery top.
2. Clean cable connectors and battery terminals using a wire brush or fine grit sandpaper to
remove any oxidation.
3. Inspect and clean the battery screws, clamps and cables. Check for breakage, loose
connections and corrosion.
4. Check the battery posts for melting or damage caused by overtightening.
5. Inspect the battery for discoloration, a raised top or a warped or distorted case. These
conditions might indicate that the battery has been frozen, overheated or overcharged.
6. Inspect the battery case for cracks or leaks.
Charging
An automatic, constant monitoring battery charger/tender with a charging rate of 5 amps or less at
less than 14.6 volts is recommended. The use of constant current chargers (including trickle
chargers) to charge sealed AGM batteries is not recommended. Any overcharge will cause dry
out and premature battery failure. Never charge a battery without first reviewing the instructions
for the charger being used. In addition to the manufacturer's instructions, follow these general
safety precautions.
Charge the battery if any of the following conditions exist:
Vehicle lamps appear dim.
Electric starter sounds weak.
Battery has not been used for an extended time.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which could cause severe
burns to eyes and skin. Wear a protective face shield,
rubberized gloves and protective clothing when working
with batteries. KEEP BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

Washing the Motorcycle
Use only recommended cleaning and care products. Refer to Recommended Cleaning and
Care Products and Recommended Surface Care Products.
NOTE:
During rinsing and washing, avoid direct spray on radio, speakers, saddlebags, trunk or TourPak
sealing areas (if equipped). Avoid spraying water under leather saddlebag covers (if equipped).
Preparation
1. Allow motorcycle to cool before rinsing or washing. Spraying water on hot surfaces can
leave water spots and mineral deposits.
2. Rinse the motorcycle from the bottom up.
3. To loosen dried bugs or hardened dirt, allow surfaces to soak under a damp towel.
Cleaning Wheels and Tires
1. Rinse wheel and tire surfaces. Avoid splashing brake dust on chrome or painted parts.
2. Apply WHEEL & TIRE CLEANER. Allow cleaner to set for one minute.
3. Clean the wheel with a BUG EATER SPONGE or WHEEL & SPOKE BRUSH. Use CLOTH
DETAILING STRIPS to clean wheel spokes. Thoroughly scrub all brake dust and other
sediments off the wheel. Accumulated brake dust can trap moisture and dirt, which leads to
wheel corrosion.
4. Rinse well.
Washing the Motorcycle
NOTE:
Refer to the appropriate instructions in this section for cleaning leather, Denim (flat) finishes,
windshields or other special surfaces.
1. Fill a HARLEY WASH BUCKET with clean water.
2. Add SUNWASH BIKE SOAP, following the directions on the package.
3. Soak the WASH MITT in the SUNWASH solution. Wash all surfaces from the top working
down.
4. Spray BUG REMOVER to remove any bugs.
5. Rinse the motorcycle:
a. Rinse from the bottom up.
b. Rinse from the top down.
Drying the Motorcycle
1. Dry the surfaces from the top down using a SYNTHETIC DRYING CHAMOIS or a HOG
BLASTER MOTORCYCLE DRYER. Avoid using any type of forced air on speakers or other
sensitive components.
2. Dampen chamois in clean water and wring out the excess. The chamois is more absorbent
when wet.
3. Wipe across the vehicle surface.
4. Repeat as necessary until surface is dry.
Polishing and Sealing
NOTE:
If motorcycle has denim finish, skip the Polishing and Sealing procedure.
1. Apply GLAZE POLY SEALANT with a DISPOSABLE DETAILING SOFT CLOTH or
MICROFIBER DETAILING CLOTH, following the instructions on the package.
2. Buff with a DISPOSABLE DETAILING SOFT CLOTH.
3. Polish and seal the wheels as described in Wheel Care to prevent corrosion.
NOTE:
Bare aluminum wheels do not have a protective coating. The wheels corrode unless properly
treated. Apply BARE ALUMINUM WHEEL PROTECTANT when purchasing the motorcycle and at
least twice per year to prevent cosmetic damage to bare aluminum wheels.
Audio System Care
Use only HarleyDavidson recommended products and methods to keep the radio, speakers and
other audio system components clean and in good condition. Do not use any abrasives, polishes
or rubbing compounds to clean the screen or other components. Do not use any ammoniabased
cleaners on the screen. Use of other products or methods may cause damage to components.
Replaceable Screen Protector
Boom! Box 6.5GT radios have a replaceable screen protector. Keep the protector on the screen
at all times. Damage to the screen due to use without the protector will not be covered under
warranty. Remove and replace the protector if it becomes dull, scratched or worn.
Cleaning the Radio
Spray a light amount of HARLEY GLOSS on a MICROFIBER DETAILING CLOTH. Be careful to
gently remove any sediments without rubbing them into the screen. Apply circular motions from
the center and outwards. Use a dry MICROFIBER DETAILING CLOTH to dry the screen. Repeat
the process as necessary.
NOTE:
Do not use any screen enhancing chemicals or products. These can damage the screen surface.
Speaker Care
If a haze develops on speakers with a protective grille, use HARLEY SEAT, SADDLEBAG, AND
TRIM CLEANER and a SOFTCLOTH or SOFT DETAILING PAD to clean. Do not apply wax or
any other similar products on speaker grilles.
Do not use compressed or forced air on speakers.
Vehicles with saddlebag speakers are designed to prevent water intrusion and to allow water to
drain during washing or riding in all weather. To remove any standing water from saddlebag
speakers, open the saddlebags and gently shake any remaining water from the speakers.
Denim Finish Care
Some motorcycles have a denim (flat or matte) finish. The denim finish has qualities which differ
from high gloss finishes on all other HarleyDavidson motorcycles. Like denim fabric, denim paint
will burnish or mar with age and use, thus adding character and personality to the finish of the
motorcycle. Refer to Recommended Cleaning and Care Products for recommended
products.
If scratched, the color coat of paint does nick/scuff and these marks cannot be rubbed out.
If polished, the finish will become less matte and more glossy over time.
How to Clean
For light deposits: Use DENIM PAINT CLEANER and a DISPOSABLE DETAILING SOFT
CLOTH. This helps remove finger prints and light soil.
For heavier deposits: Use either SUNWASH BIKE SOAP and a clean WASH MITT or QUICK
WASH. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Leather and Vinyl Care
Do not use bleach or detergents containing bleach on
saddlebags, seats, tank panels or painted surfaces. Doing
so can result in equipment damage. (00229a)
Do not use ordinary soap to clean leather or fur. It could dry or remove the oils from the leather.
Leather, vinyl and other synthetic surfaces must be periodically cleaned and treated to maintain
its appearance and extend its life. Clean and treat these surfaces once a season or more
frequently under adverse conditions.
These surfaces are not designed for longterm exposure to inclement weather and should be
protected with a HarleyDavidson Seat Rain Cover or Motorcycle Storage Cover (sold separately).
1. Vacuum or blow dust off surface.
2. Thoroughly clean surfaces with SEAT, SADDLEBAG & TRIM CLEANER, following
directions on the bottle.
3. Allow the material to dry naturally and completely at room temperature before applying other
products to the material. Do not use artificial means to dry the material quickly.
4. For leather only, rejuvenate faded black surfaces with BLACK LEATHER REJUVENATOR,
and apply LEATHER PROTECTANT to weatherproof and preserve the leather.
NOTE:
Many HarleyDavidson accessories and seats are made of either treated or untreated leather or
have leather inserts. Natural materials age differently and require different care than manmade
materials. Seat covers and panels made of leather will gain "character", such as wrinkles, with
age. Leather is porous and organic and each leather product will settle into its own distinct form
with use. Your leather product will mature into its own custom shape and style from the sun, rain
and time. This maturing is natural and will enhance the custom quality of your HarleyDavidson
motorcycle.
Fairing Splitstream Vent Care
Keep the vent free of foreign objects. Periodically clean the vent mechanism to remove dirt, bugs
and leaves, and to keep all parts from sticking. Clean the button and vent door if they become
difficult to open or close.
1. With the vent door closed (button up), spray clean water into the area under the button.
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)
2. Blow lowpressure air in the same direction.
3. Using mild soapy water and a soft brush, remove dirt, leaves and bugs from vent duct and
vent door.
4. Operate vent and repeat cleaning as necessary.
Whitewall Tires
Use HARLEYDAVIDSON WHEEL & TIRE CLEANER to clean whitewall tires following directions
on the bottle.
Wheel Care
Wheels can corrode or be cosmetically damaged if they are not properly cleaned, polished and
preserved. Cleaning and sealing wheels with the proper treatment guards against pitting,
corrosion, spots and stains. HarleyDavidson recommends that wheels be cared for weekly.
Corrosion to wheels is not considered a defect in materials or workmanship.
NOTE:
Bare aluminum wheels do not have a protective coating and corrode unless properly treated.
Apply BARE ALUMINUM WHEEL PROTECTANT when purchasing the motorcycle and at least
twice per year to prevent cosmetic damage to bare aluminum wheels.
Keep wheels clean from harsh chemicals, acidbased wheel cleaners, salt and accumulated brake
dust. After washing wheels with WHEEL & TIRE CLEANER, use the polish and sealing products
in Wheel Polish and Sealing Products according to the type of wheels on your motorcycle.

Windshield Care
Polycarbonate windscreens/windshields require proper
attention and care to maintain. Failure to maintain
polycarbonate properly can result in damage to the
windscreen/windshield. (00483d)
Use only HarleyDavidson recommended products on
HarleyDavidson windshields. Do not use harsh chemicals
or rain sheeting products, which can cause windshield
surface damage, such as dulling or hazing. (00231c)
Powdered, abrasive or alkaline cleanser can damage the windscreen/windshield. Ammonia
based window cleaners cause permanent yellow effects to windshields.
Do not use gas station windshield cleaner as finish can be damaged.
Do not use a brush or squeegee as finish can be damaged.
Do not clean in hot sun or high temperature.
Windshields require special care. However, windshields may be washed with SUNWASH® BIKE
SOAP or QUICK WASH when washing the entire motorcycle. Refer to Recommended Cleaning
and Care Products for recommended cleaning products.
NOTES:
To treat the windshield with water repellent use WINDSHIELD WATER REPELLENT.
Covering the windshield with a clean, wet cloth for approximately 1520 minutes before
washing makes dried bug removal easier.
1. Use WINDSHIELD CLEANER INDIVIDUAL WIPES to detail the windshield.
2. Wipe dry with a clean MICROFIBER DETAILING CLOTH.
NOTE:
To minimize swirl marks, cleaning should be done when motorcycle is cool and parked in the
shade. Faint swirl marks are normal and are more visible on tinted windshields.

maintenance record.
It is your responsibility as the owner to follow the maintenance schedule at the mileage intervals
as specified in the owner's manual. All of the specified maintenance services must be performed
on schedule to keep your limited warranty valid.
Some countries, states or other locations may require all regular maintenance and service work to
be done by an authorized HarleyDavidson dealer for your limited warranty to remain in effect.
Check with your authorized HarleyDavidson dealer for local requirements.
1. Make an appointment with a HarleyDavidson dealer for inspection and service prior to the
first 1000 miles 1600 kilometers , and as soon as possible after any issue arises.
2. Bring this owner's manual with you when you visit your authorized HarleyDavidson dealer
to have your motorcycle inspected and serviced.
3. Have the dealer technician sign the maintenance record in the owner's manual at the proper
mileage interval. These records should be retained by the owner as proof of proper
maintenance.
4. Keep receipts covering any parts, service or maintenance performed.
These records should be transferred to each subsequent owner.
Use only HarleyDavidson approved parts and accessories that have been designed, tested and
approved for your model and model year motorcycle.
Use of aftermarket performance parts may void all or parts of your limited warranty. See an
authorized HarleyDavidson dealer for details.
HarleyDavidson authorized dealerships are independently owned and operated and may sell and
install parts and accessories that are not manufactured or approved by HarleyDavidson for use
on your motorcycle. Therefore, you should understand that HarleyDavidson is not and cannot be
responsible for the quality, suitability, or safety of any nonHarleyDavidson part, accessory or
design modification, including labor, which may be sold and/or installed by authorized Harley
Davidson dealerships.
Keeping It All HarleyDavidson
Genuine HarleyDavidson parts are engineered and tested specifically for use on your motorcycle.
Insist that your authorized HarleyDavidson dealer uses only genuine HarleyDavidson
replacement parts and accessories to keep your HarleyDavidson motorcycle and its limited
warranty intact. Not all HarleyDavidson parts and accessories are appropriate for your model or
model year motorcycle.
NOTE:
Installing offroad or competition parts to enhance performance may void all or parts of your
limited warranty. See the HarleyDavidson Motorcycle Limited Warranty in this owner's manual or

electrical accessories operating at any one time consume
more electrical current than the vehicle's charging system
can produce, the electrical consumption can discharge the
battery and cause damage to the vehicle's electrical
system. See an authorized HarleyDavidson dealer for
advice about the amount of current consumed by
additional electrical accessories or for necessary wiring
changes. (00211c)

This warranty does not mean that each HarleyDavidson motorcycle is free from defects. Defects
may be unintentionally introduced into motorcycles during the design and manufacturing
processes and such defects could result in the need for repairs. For this reason, HarleyDavidson
provides the Limited Warranty in order to remedy any such defects that result in a component
malfunction or failure during the warranty period. The remedy under this written warranty, and any
implied warranty, is limited to repair, replacement or adjustment of the defective part. This
exclusive remedy shall not be deemed to have failed its essential purpose so long as Harley
Davidson, through its authorized dealers, is willing and able to repair, replace or adjust defective
parts in the prescribed manner. HarleyDavidson's liability, if any, shall in no event exceed the
cost of correcting any defect as herein provided and upon expiration of this warranty, any such
liability shall terminate.
Limited Motorcycle Warranty
2015 HarleyDavidson Motorcycle Limited Warranty
24 Months/Unlimited Miles
HarleyDavidson warrants for any new 2015 HarleyDavidson motorcycle that an authorized
HarleyDavidson dealer will repair or replace without charge any parts found under normal use to
be defective in factory materials or workmanship. Such repair or replacement of defective parts
will be HarleyDavidson's sole obligation and your sole and exclusive remedy under this limited
warranty. This limited warranty applies only for the duration identified below.
These limited warranties are the only express warranties applicable to your motorcycle. No
person, including HarleyDavidson dealers, may modify, extend or waive any part of these
warranties.
As a condition of these warranties, you are responsible for properly using, maintaining, and caring
for your motorcycle as outlined in your Owner Manual. HarleyDavidson recommends that you
maintain copies of all maintenance records and receipts.
THERE IS NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY (OTHER THAN THE SEPARATE EMISSIONS,
NOISE, AND RADIO LIMITED WARRANTIES) ON THE MOTORCYCLE. Any implied warranty of
merchantability or fitness for particular purpose is limited to the duration of the express warranty,
or to the duration set forth in your state's warranty statutes, whichever is shorter. Any implied
warranty is not transferred to subsequent purchasers/buyers of the motorcycle.
The implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose does not apply if your motorcycle is used
for racing, even if the motorcycle is equipped for racing.

attorney general, a member of a class of claimants or in any other representative capacity.

authorized HarleyDavidson dealer for details.

fail. Examples include, but are not limited to performanceenhancing powertrain components

and addons connected to the factory electrical system.
Important: Read Carefully
1. Authorized HarleyDavidson dealers are independently owned and operated and may sell
nonHarleyDavidson products. Because of this, HARLEYDAVIDSON IS NOT

DAVIDSON PART, ACCESSORY OR DESIGN MODIFICATION INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, LABOR WHICH MAY BE SOLD AND/OR INSTALLED BY AUTHORIZED
HARLEYDAVIDSON DEALERS.
2. This limited warranty is a contract between you and HarleyDavidson. It is separate and
apart from any warranty you may receive or purchase from an authorized HarleyDavidson
dealer. An authorized HarleyDavidson dealer is not authorized to alter, modify, expand, or
in any way change the terms and conditions of this limited warranty.
3. Any warranty work or parts replacement authorized by HarleyDavidson will not preclude
HarleyDavidson from later relying on any exclusion where applicable.
4. HarleyDavidson and its authorized dealers reserve the right to modify or service
motorcycles designed and manufactured by HarleyDavidson at any time without incurring
any additional obligation to make the same alteration or change to a motorcycle previously
built and sold. HarleyDavidson reserves the right to provide postwarranty repairs, conduct
repair campaigns, offer goodwill or customer satisfaction repairs or extend the warranty
coverage for certain motorcycles at its sole discretion. Said repairs or extensions of warranty
coverage in no way obligates HarleyDavidson to provide similar accommodations to other
owners of similar motorcycles. Sometimes HarleyDavidson may offer a special adjustment
program to pay all or part of the cost of certain repairs beyond the terms of your limited
warranty. Check with your authorized HarleyDavidson dealer to learn whether such
programs are available to you. Your state may prohibit these types of offers, in which case,
they may not be available to you.
5. The fact that a part is labeled or branded HarleyDavidson does not necessarily make it
appropriate or warranted for the make and model of your motorcycle. The use of parts not
designed and tested for your motorcycle may have negative consequences on the
performance of your motorcycle and may create conditions not covered by this limited
warranty.

California Emissions Control Warranty
California Emissions Control Warranty Statement
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board and HarleyDavidson Motor Company are pleased to explain
the emission control system warranty on your 2015 model year motorcycle. In California, new
motor vehicles must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent antismog
standards. HarleyDavidson Motor Company must warrant the emission control system on your
motorcycle for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, unapproved
modification, neglect or improper maintenance of your motorcycle.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuelinjection system,
the ignition system, catalytic converter, and engine computer. Also included may be hoses,
connectors and other emissionrelated assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, within the warranty period noted below, your authorized
HarleyDavidson dealer will repair your motorcycle at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and
labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage
For a period of use of five years or 18,641 miles 30,000 kilometers , whichever first occurs,
beginning on the date the motorcycle is delivered to the ultimate purchaser or, if the motorcycle is
placed in service as a demonstrator or company motorcycle prior to sale at retail, the date it is first
placed in service.
If any emission related part on your motorcycle is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced
by HarleyDavidson Motor Company. This is your emission control system DEFECTS
WARRANTY.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the motorcycle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance
listed in your Owner's Manual. HarleyDavidson recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your motorcycle, but HarleyDavidson cannot deny emissions warranty coverage
solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
You are responsible for presenting your motorcycle to an authorized HarleyDavidson dealer as
soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of
time, not to exceed 30 days.
As the motorcycle owner, you should also be aware that HarleyDavidson may deny you warranty
coverage if your motorcycle or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or
unapproved modifications.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact
HarleyDavidson Customer Service Department at 18002582464 (U.S. only) or 1414343
4056, or the California Air Resources Board at 9528 Telstar Ave., El Monte, California 91731.
Additional Warranty Terms
The warranty period starts the date the motorcycle is delivered to the ultimate purchaser or, if the
motorcycle is placed in service as a demonstrator or company motorcycle prior to sale at retail,
the date it is first placed in service.
The emission control system of each new HarleyDavidson® motorcycle was designed, built and
tested using only Genuine HarleyDavidson parts and with these parts the motorcycle is certified
as being in conformity with California emission control regulations.
We recommend that you take your motorcycle to an authorized HarleyDavidson dealer for repairs
under this warranty. The dealer has factorytrained mechanics and genuine HarleyDavidson
parts. However, in the case of an "emergency" (as defined below), you could have repairs
performed at any available service establishment or by the owner, using any replacement part. An
authorized HarleyDavidson dealer not being reasonably available, or a part not being available
within a reasonable time period (not to exceed 30 days from the time the motorcycle is initially
presented to a HarleyDavidson dealer for repair) constitutes an emergency. HarleyDavidson will
reimburse the owner for such repairs, including diagnosis, only if it is established that the repairs
are covered under this emission warranty. HarleyDavidson's parts reimbursement, however, will
not exceed our suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and our labor
reimbursement will be limited to our recommended time allowances for emission system repairs at
the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate.
To obtain reimbursement from HarleyDavidson for such emergency repairs, you must keep all
failed parts and original receipts, so you can present them to an authorized HarleyDavidson
dealer for inspection. HarleyDavidson recommends that you bring your motorcycle to an
authorized dealer for inspection to ensure that the emergency repairs were done properly.
Remember: Use of nonHarleyDavidson replacement parts may impair the effectiveness of the
emission control system or otherwise damage your motorcycle. If other than genuine Harley
Davidson parts are used for maintenance, replacement or repair of components affecting
emission control, you should obtain written assurances that such nonHarleyDavidson parts are
warranted by their manufacturer to be equal in quality to Genuine HarleyDavidson parts in both
performance and durability. The use of nonHarleyDavidson replacement parts does not
invalidate the existing warranty, if any, on other HarleyDavidson components unless the non
HarleyDavidson parts cause damage to warranted parts or result in the creation of an emissions
noncompliant motorcycle. However, HARLEYDAVIDSON ASSUMES NO LIABILITY UNDER
THIS WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY PARTS WHICH ARE NOT GENUINE HARLEY
DAVIDSON PARTS, unless HarleyDavidson parts cause damage to nongenuine Harley
Davidson parts.
What Is Covered By This Emission Warranty
The emission control system warranty covers the following "warranted parts" only:

Maintenance Scheduling
Regular Service Intervals
Refer to Regular Service Intervals: 2015 Touring Models. Regular maintenance must be performed at
specified intervals to help keep your new HarleyDavidson motorcycle operating at peak performance and keep
your new motorcycle limited warranty in force. Your authorized HarleyDavidson dealer knows best how to service
your motorcycle with factory approved methods and equipment assuring you of thorough and competent
workmanship.
Some maintenance items should be done at least once per year as specified, even if the next mileage interval has
not been reached. In severe riding conditions, some maintenance items may need to be performed more frequently.
Refer to the notes in Regular Service Intervals: 2015 Touring Models.
NOTES:
The use of parts and service procedures other than HarleyDavidson approved parts and service procedures
may void the limited warranty. Any alterations to the emission system components, such as the intake and
exhaust system, may be in violation of motor vehicle laws.
Some countries, such as Brazil, may require all regular maintenance to be performed by an authorized Harley
Davidson dealer for your limited warranty to remain in effect. Check with your authorized HarleyDavidson
dealer.
Some countries, such as Brazil, may require additional annual (or semiannual) regular maintenance steps to
be performed to keep your limited warranty in effect and/or comply with vehicle regulations. Check with your
authorized HarleyDavidson dealer and check the motorcycle regulations in your country for local
requirements.
After completing the final service interval in Regular Service Intervals: 2015 Touring Models, repeat the
service schedule starting at the 5000 mi 8000 km interval.
If you operate your motorcycle under adverse conditions
(severe cold, extreme heat, very dusty environment, very
bad roads, through standing water, etc.), you should
perform the regular maintenance intervals more frequently
to ensure the safe operation of your motorcycle. Failure to
maintain your motorcycle could result in death or serious
injury. (00094a)
