3. When slowing to a stop, the clutch should be
disengaged when:
a.
The motorcycle speed drops below
approximately 15 mph (24 kph).
b. Engine roughness is evident.
c. When the engine is lugging.
The motorcycle should be shifted into neutral if it is going to be
shut off or kept at an idle for more than a few seconds.
MAINTENANCE
To keep your new engine warranty in force, and to assure proper
emissions system operation, regular inspections and servicing
must be performed.
PERIODIC
The motorcycle should be checked frequently (for example,
with each tank of gasoline) for fuel or oil leaks and oil level.
After the engine is warm, the idle speed may occasionally
require minor adjustment. The air cleaner should be inspected
every few hundred miles. See the motorcycle owner’s manual
for other recommended periodic maintenance.
BREAK-IN
At 50 Miles (80 Kilometers):
1. S&S recommends an engine oil and filter change.
2. Inspect for fuel and oil leaks.
3. Inspect air cleaner element and service as required.
4. Check tightness of exterior fasteners, except head
bolts.
Maintenance at 500 Miles (800 Kilometers):
1. Change engine oil and filter.
2. Inspect for fuel and oil leaks.
3. Inspect air cleaner element and service as required.
4. Check tightness of exterior fasteners, except head
bolts.
5. Check operation of enrichment device and throttle
controls.
6. Check engine idle speed.
7. Check tightness of engine mounts.
REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS
Regular lubrication and maintenance will help keep your new
S&S engine operating at peak performance. The following
table presents a recommended service schedule for average
operating conditions. Please refer to the Harley-Davidson
Owner’s Manual for the required regular maintenance intervals.
CAUTION - Motorcycles operated under adverse
conditions (severe cold, heat, dusty or wet conditions,
extended idling, pro-longed high speed or extreme load),
perform the regular maintenance more frequently to
ensure safe, reliable operation.
