NOTE
Refers to important information and is placed in italic type. It is recommended that you take special notice of these items.

RULES OF THE ROAD

• Always sound your horn, use your turn signals and exer­cise caution when passing other vehicles going in the same direction. Never pass going in the same direction at street intersections, on curves or when going up or down a hill.
• At street intersections, give the right-of-way. Do not pre­sume you have the right-of-way, as the other driver may not know that it is your turn.
• Always signal when preparing to stop, turn or pass.
• Promptly obey all traffic signs, including those signs used
for the control of traffic at intersections. Alw ays obe y traffic signs near schools and at railroad crossings.
• When intending to turn, signal at least 30.5 m (100 ft) 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), slow down and wait

SAFETY FIRST

for the light to change. Never run through a yellow or red traffic light.
• While turning, watch for pedestrians, animals, as well as vehicles.
• Do not leave the curb or parking area without signaling. Make sure that your way is clear to enter moving traffic. A moving line of traffic always has the right-of-way.
• Make sure that your license plate is installed in the position specified by law. Make sure that your license plate is always clearly visible. 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.

SAFETY: OPERATING RULES

Harley-Davidson Motorcycles Are for On-Road Use Only
This motorcycle is not equipped with a spark arrester. This motorcycle is designed to be used only on the road. Operation
or off-road usage in some areas may be illegal. Obey local laws and regulations.
General
Consult a Harley-Davidson dealer regarding any questions or problems that occur in the operation of your motor cycle. Failure to do so can aggravate an initial problem, cause costly repairs, cause an accident and could result in death or serious injury. (00020a)
• Make sure all equipment required by federal, state and local law is installed and in good operating condition.
• Know and respect the rules of the road. Read the safety information that is provided by your state or regional traffic authority.
• In the United States, read the RIDING TIPS booklet that is provided with this owner's manual. Read the MOTOR­CYCLE HANDBOOK which is made available by your state or regional traffic authority.
• Protect your motorcycle against theft. Lock the front fork. Remove the key when parking your motorcycle.
4 Safety First
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)
Operation
Before operating your new motorcycle, it is your responsibility to read and follow the operating and maintenance instructions in this manual and follow these rules for your personal safety.
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 all the owner's manual before riding, adding
accessories or servicing.
• Wear an approved helmet, clothing and foot gear suited for motorcycle riding. Br ight or light colors are best for
greater visibility in traffic, especially at night. Avoid loose, flowing garments and scarves.
• Never tow a trailer.
• Before starting the engine, review the BEFORE RIDING,
Pre-Ride Checklist.
Striking an object, such as a curb or pothole can cause internal tire damage. If an object is struck, have the tire inspected immediately inside and out by a Harley-Davidson dealer. A damaged tire can fail while riding and adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00058b)
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
Safety First 5
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. An y two wheeled vehicle ma y 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.
• New riders should gain experience under various condi­tions while riding at moderate speeds.
• Operate your motorcycle defensively. In an accident, a motorcycle does not afford the same protection as an automobile.
• It is the rider's responsibility to instruct passengers on proper riding procedures.
• Do not allow other individuals to operate the motorcycle unless they are experienced, licensed riders and are thoroughly familiar with the operation of the motorcycle.
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 fr om bodily injury in a collision with another vehicle or any other object. (00022b)
Stability, Steering and Handling
Do not operate vehicle with forks locked. Locking the f orks restricts the vehicle's turning ability, which could result in death or serious injury. (00035a)
Regularly inspect shock absorbers and front f orks. Replace leaking, damaged or worn parts that can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or ser­ious injury. (00012a)
6 Safety First
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)
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)
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 control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00041a)
Safety First 7
Cargo and Loading
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.
• The GVWR is shown on the information label, located on the frame steering head or the frame downtube.
• GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely carried on each end of the motorcycle.
• For GVWR and GAWR, front and rear, refer to Table 22
• Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcycle
and as low as possible.
• 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 (if equipped).
• Luggage racks (if equipped) are designed for lightweight items. Do not overload racks.
• Make sure cargo is secure. Make sure the cargo will not shift while riding and check the cargo periodically. Accessories that change the operator's riding position may increase reaction time and affect handling of the motor­cycle.
• Large surfaces such as fairings, windshields, backrests and luggage racks (if equipped) can adversely affect on stability and handling.
Tires
Be sure tires are properly inflated, balanced, undama ged, and have adequate tread. Inspect y our tires regularly and see a Harley-Davidson dealer for replacements. Riding with excessively worn, unbalanced, improperly inflated, overloaded or damaged tires can lead to tire failure and adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00014b)
8 Safety First
Replace punctured or damaged tires. In some cases, small punctures in the tread area may be repaired from within the removed tire by a Harley-Davidson dealer. Speed should NOT exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) f or 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)
Towing and Trailering
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)
Do not tow a disabled motorcycle . Towing can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00017a)
Never tow a trailer.
Fuel and Exhaust
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)
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)
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off.
• Remove the fuel filler cap slowly.
• Do not fill fuel tank above the bottom of the filler neck
insert. Leave air space to allow for fuel expansion.
Safety First 9
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 pr otective clothing could result in burns or other serious injury. (00009a)
Do not run motorcycle in a closed gara ge or confined area. Inhaling motorcycle exhaust, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas, could result in death or serious injury. (00005a)
Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer , and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (00004f)
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)
Cooling fans operate automatically , e ven when the ignition switch is off. Keep hands away from fan blades. Contact with a rotating fan blade can result in minor or moderate injury. (00093a)
10 Safety First
Brakes
Battery
Brakes are a critical safety component. Contact a Harley­Davidson dealer for brake repair or replacement. Improp­erly serviced brakes can adversely affect brake perform­ance, which could result in death or serious injury. (00054a)
Apply front and rear brakes evenly. Favoring one brake accelerates wear and reduces braking efficiency . Operation with excessively worn brakes can lead to brake failure, which could result in death or serious injury. (00135a)
Direct contact of D.O.T. 4 brake fluid with eyes can cause irritation. Avoid eye contact. In case of eye contact flush with large amounts of water and get medical attention. Swallowing large amounts of D.O .T . 4 brake fluid can cause digestive discomfort. If swallowed, obtain medical atten­tion. Use in well ventilated area. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. (00240a)
Batteries, battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, and other chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer , and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (00019e)
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 BA TTERIES A W A Y FROM CHILDREN. (00063a)
Safety First 11
It is possible to overload your vehicle's charging system by adding too many electrical accessories. If the combined 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 Harley-Davidson dealer for advice about the amount of current consumed by addi­tional electrical accessories or for necessary wiring changes. (00211c)
Hazardous Materials
Prolonged or repeated contact with used motor oil may be harmful to skin and could cause skin cancer. Pr omptl y wash affected areas with soap and water. (00358b)
Maintenance
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 motorc ycle, which could result in death or serious injury. (00010a)
• A new motorcycle must be operated according to the special break-in procedure. See BEFORE RIDING, Break­In Riding Rules.
• Proper care and maintenance, including tire pressure, tire condition, tread depth and proper adjustment to steering head bearings are important to stability and safe operation of the motorcycle. Refer to Table 29.
12 Safety First
Parts and Accessories
Harley-Davidson parts and accessories are designed for Harley-Davidson motorcyc les. Using non-Harley-Da vidson parts or accessories can adversely affect performance, stability or handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00001b)
• Use only Harley-Davidson approved parts and accessories. Use of certain other manufacturer's perf orm­ance parts will void your new motorcycle warranty. See your Harley-Davidson dealer for details.
Use Harley-Davidson replacement fasteners. Aftermarket fasteners can adversely affect performance, which could result in death or serious injury. (00013a)
• See your Harley-Davidson service manual for proper torque values.
• Aftermarket fasteners may not have the specific property requirements to perform properly.
See the Accessories and Cargo section in your owner's manual. Improper car go loading or accessory installation can cause component failure and adversely affect stability , handling and performance, which could result in death or serious injury. (00021b)
• Harley-Davidson 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.
• Additional electrical equipment may overload the electrical system possibly resulting in electrical system and/or component failure.
