2007 Electra Glide Classic ­ Owner’s Manual

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: 2007 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)

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. (00019d)

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)

Rules of the Road

Keep to the right side of the road centerline when meeting other vehicles coming in the opposite direction. Ride to left of center of your lane to avoid oily pavement ahead.

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 to the vehicle on your right. 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 to the left, signal at least 100 feet (30.5 meters) before reaching the turning point. Move over to the centerline of the street (unless local rules require otherwise), slow down, enter the intersection of the street and then turn carefully to the left.

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.

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.

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 Dunlop Harley­Davidson replacement tires. (00090a)

See Specifications: 2007 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.

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)

Controls and Indicators

General: Controls and Indicators

Read the CONTROLS AND INDICATORS section before riding your motorcycle. Failure to understand the operation of the motorcycle could result in death or serious injury. (00043a)

Some features explained are unique to certain models. These features may be available as accessories for your Harley­Davidson motorcycle. See a Harley­Davidson dealer for a complete list of accessories that will fit your specific motorcycle.

Ignition/Headlamp Key Switch: Touring Models

The automatic­on headlamp feature provides increased visibility of the rider to other motorists. Be sure headlamp is on at all times. Poor visibility of rider to other motorists can result in death or serious injury. (00030b)

See YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL section. Be sure to record all your key numbers in the space provided at the front of this book.

See Ignition/Headlamp Key Switch: Touring Models. The ignition/headlamp key switch controls electrical functions of the motorcycle.

Protect your vehicle against theft. After parking your motorcycle, lock the steering head and remove ignition

key from switch. Failure to lock your motorcycle may result in theft and/or equipment damage. (00151a)

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)

Do not lubricate barrel locks with petroleum based lubricants or graphite. Inoperative locks may result. (00152a)

Do not switch lubricant brands indiscriminately because some lubricants interact chemically when mixed. Use of inferior lubricants can damage the engine. (00184a)

1.To remove the key from the ignition on FLHR models, push the key in and turn it counterclockwise.

2.To remove the key from the ignition on FLHT models, push the key in and turn clockwise.

3.Remove the key.

NOTES:

Harley­Davidson recommends removing key from ignition/fork lock before operating motorcycle. If you do not remove key, it can fall out during operation. ACCESS/ACCESSORY ­ Accessories and hazard warning flasher can be turned on. Instrument lamps are on. Brake lamp and horn can be activated. Key may be removed. The lamps illuminate when the switch is in the IGNITION position, as required by law in some localities.

Ignition/Headlamp Switch Positions: 2007 Touring Models

Clutch Hand Lever

Front turn signal lamps also function as running lamps (except International models).

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)

Engine Check Lamp

See Indicator Lamps: Touring Models. The engine check lamp is located near the lower left side of the speedometer (FLHT models) face or lower center of the speedometer (FLHR models) face. Its purpose is to indicate whether or not the engine/engine management system is operating normally. The engine lamp color is amber.

The engine lamp normally comes on when the bike’s ignition is first turned on and remains on for approximately 4 seconds, as the engine management system runs a series of self­diagnostics.

If the engine lamp comes on at any other time, see a Harley­Davidson dealer.

Low Fuel Lamp

See Indicator Lamps: Touring Models. The low fuel lamp is located in the speedometer face, lower center by check engine lamp. The low fuel lamp illuminates to indicate that you have approximately 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of gasoline left in the tank. The low fuel lamp color is amber.

Cruise Control Equipped Models

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.

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.

See RESUME/SET Switch. RESUME/SET switch located in the right handlebar control group.

The RESUME/SET switch controls several system functions, including set, resume, accelerate and decelerate.

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 kph) or above 85 mph (137 kph).

The system is managed by a small computer. The tachometer provides information to disengage the system if the engine RPM suddenly increases.

Besides the computer, the system has other components: a stepper­motor (controlled by the computer), which operates the throttle during CRUISE operation, a clutch which disengages the stepper­motor during non­cruise operation and several internal switches, all sending information to the computer.

The system will allow rider to increase speed 10 mph (16 kph) 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.

Engaging Cruise Control

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 kph), 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 idle cable 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 kph) 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 (72 kph) 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 kph).

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 kph) 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:

An uphill grade is so long and/or steep; the throttle cables are pulled their full length when the system tries to maintain vehicle speed. This feature prevents stretching the cables. Rider operates bike at vehicle speeds below 30 mph (48 kph) or above 85 mph (137 kph). Throttle cables are too tight. See dealer.

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

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)

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)

Brakes should be applied uniformly and evenly to prevent wheels from locking up. A balance between rear and front braking is generally best.

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)

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)

Fork Lock: Touring Models

Protect your vehicle against theft. After parking your motorcycle, lock the steering head and remove ignition key from switch. Failure to lock your motorcycle may result in theft and/or equipment damage. (00151a)

NOTE:

Do not force the switch into the locked position or switch damage can occur.

See Fork Lock: FLHR/C/S. The FLHR/C/S has a fork lock at the top of the steering head, behind the headlamp nacelle and inset in the handlebar clamp shroud.

NOTE:

The fork lock is integrated into the ignition switch on FLHT/FLTR/FLHX models.

Using the fork lock immediately after parking your motorcycle will discourage unauthorized use or theft when parking your motorcycle. For fork lock detail, refer to Ignition/Headlamp Switch Positions: 2007 Touring Models.

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)

To Lock Fork on FLHR/C/S Models

1.Turn fork to full left position.

2.See Fork Lock: FLHR/C/S. Insert key and turn key counterclockwise to lock.

3.Remove key.

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 FLHRS AND 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 FLHRS AND 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).

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.

Tour­Pak

Operation

See Tour­Pak Lock and Draw Catch. Unlock lock and open draw catches.

Removal/Installation

Do NOT pull on any electrical wires. Pulling on electrical wires may damage the internal conductor causing high resistance, which may result in minor or moderate injury. (00168a)

Accessory Switch

See Switch Indicators. All touring models have an accessory switch (4) for the owner’s use. This switch is located on the right side of the fairing (FLHT) or left side triple clamp shroud (FLHR).

See Accessory Connector. There is an accessory connector located under the seat that can be activated with the ACC switch. See a Harley­Davidson dealer for possible uses.

It is possible to overload your motorcycle’s charging system by adding too many electrical accessories. If your combined electrical accessories operating at any one time consume more electrical current than your vehicle’s charging system can produce, the electrical consumption can discharge the battery and cause vehicle electrical system damage. See a Harley­Davidson dealer for advice about the amount of current consumed by additional electrical accessories, or for necessary wiring changes. (00211b)
