2007 CVO Dyna ­ Owner's Manual

Safety First

Safe Operating Rules: Dyna Models

Before operating your new motorcycle it is your responsibility to read and follow the operating and maintenance instructions in this manual, and follow these basic rules for your personal safety.

Know and respect the rules of the road (see RULES OF THE ROAD section). Carefully read and observe the rules contained in the RIDING TIPS booklet accompanying this Owner's Manual. Read and familiarize yourself with the contents of the MOTORCYCLE HANDBOOK for your state.

Before starting engine, check for proper operation of brake, clutch, shifter, throttle controls, correct fuel and oil supply.

Do not use aftermarket parts and custom made front forks which can adversely affect performance and handling. Removing or altering factory installed parts can adversely affect performance and could result in death or serious injury. (00001a)

Use only Harley­Davidson approved parts and accessories. Use of certain other manufacturer's performance parts will void your new motorcycle warranty. See your Harley­ Davidson dealer for details.

Stop the engine when refueling or servicing the fuel system. Do not smoke or allow open flame or sparks near gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00002a)

When refueling your motorcycle, the following rules should be observed.

Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine turned off. Remove fuel filler cap slowly.

Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks when refueling or servicing the fuel system. Do not fill fuel tank above the bottom of the filler neck insert.

Leave air space to allow for fuel expansion.

Do not store motorcycle with gasoline in tank within the home or garage where open flames, pilot lights, sparks or electric motors are present. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in

death or serious injury. (00003a)

Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (00004e)

Wheel weights on wheels without spokes contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (00356c)

Do not run motorcycle in a closed garage or confined area. Inhaling motorcycle exhaust, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas, could result in death or serious injury. (00005a)

The jiffy stand locks when placed in the full forward (down) position with vehicle weight on it. If the jiffy stand is not in the full forward (down) position with vehicle weight on it, the vehicle can fall over which could result in death or serious injury. (00006a)

Be sure jiffy stand is fully retracted before riding. If jiffy stand is not fully retracted, it can contact the road surface causing a loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00007a)

A new motorcycle must be operated according to the special break­in procedure. See

Break­in Riding Rules.

Operate motorcycle only at moderate speed and out of traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with its operation and handling characteristics under all conditions.

NOTE:

We recommend that you obtain information and formal training in the correct motorcycle riding

technique. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation® offers beginning and advanced rider safety courses. Call (949)727­3227 for information.

Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and

never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive speed can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00008a)

Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. Always reduce speed when poor driving conditions exist. High speed increases the influence of any other condition affecting stability and increases the possibility of loss of control.

Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions. Any two wheeled vehicle may be subject to upsetting forces such as wind blasts from passing trucks, holes in the pavement, rough road surfaces, rider control error, etc. These forces may influence the handling characteristics of your motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed and guide the motorcycle with a relaxed grip to a controlled condition. Do not brake abruptly or force the handlebar. This may aggravate an unstable condition.

Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcycle and as low as possible to minimize the change in the motorcycle's center of gravity. Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the vehicle and do not load bulky items too far behind the rider or add weight to the handlebars or front forks. Do not exceed maximum specified load in each saddlebag.

NOTE:

New riders should gain experience under various conditions while driving at moderate speeds.

Operate your motorcycle defensively. Remember, a motorcycle does not afford the same protection as an automobile in an accident. One of the most common accident situations occurs when the driver of the other vehicle fails to see or recognize a motorcycle and turns left into the on­coming motorcyclist. Operate only with headlamp on.

Wear an approved helmet, clothing, and foot gear suited for motorcycle riding. Bright or light colors are best for greater visibility in traffic, especially at night. Avoid loose, flowing garments and scarves.

Avoid contact with exhaust system and wear protective clothing that completely covers legs while riding. Exhaust pipes and mufflers get very hot when engine is running and remain too hot to touch, even after engine is turned off. Failure to wear protective clothing could result in burns or other serious injury. (00009a)

When carrying passengers, it is your responsibility to instruct them on proper riding procedures. (See Riding Tips for Motorcyclist included in your Harley­Davidson Owner's Kit.)

Do not allow other individuals, under any circumstances, to operate your motorcycle unless you know they are experienced, licensed riders and are thoroughly familiar with the operation of your particular motorcycle.

Protect your motorcycle against theft. After parking your motorcycle, lock the steering head and remove ignition key from switch. Set security alarm if present.

Safe motorcycle operation requires alert mental judgment combined with a defensive driving attitude. Do not allow fatigue, alcohol or drugs to endanger your safety or that of others. Vehicles equipped with a sound system should have the volume adjusted to a nondistracting level before operating vehicle.

Maintain your motorcycle in proper operating condition in accordance with Regular Service

Intervals: 2007 FXDSE Model. Particularly important to motorcycle stability is proper tire inflation pressure, tread condition, and proper adjustment of wheel bearings and steering head bearings.

Do not operate vehicle with forks locked. Locking the forks restricts the vehicle's turning ability, which could result in death or serious injury. (00035a)

Perform the service and maintenance operations as indicated in the regular service interval table. Lack of regular maintenance at the recommended intervals can affect the safe operation of your motorcycle, which could result in death or serious injury. (00010a)

Do not operate motorcycle with loose, worn or damaged steering or suspension systems. Contact a Harley­ Davidson dealer for repairs. Loose, worn or damaged steering or suspension components can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00011a)

Regularly inspect shock absorbers and front forks. Replace leaking, damaged or worn parts that can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00012a)

Use Harley­Davidson replacement fasteners. Aftermarket fasteners can adversely affect performance, which could result in death or serious injury. (00013a)

See your Harley­Davidson service manual for proper torque values.

Aftermarket fasteners may not have the specific property requirements to perform properly.

Be sure tires are properly inflated, balanced and have adequate tread. Inspect your tires regularly and see a Harley­Davidson dealer for replacements. Riding with excessively worn, unbalanced or under­inflated tires can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00014a)

Replace punctured or damaged tires. In some cases, small punctures in the tread area may be repaired from within the demounted tire by a Harley­Davidson dealer. Speed should NOT exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) for the first 24 hours after repair, and the repaired tire should NEVER be used over 80 mph (130 km/h). Failure to follow this warning could result in death or serious injury. (00015a)

Do not exceed the motorcycle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Exceeding these weight ratings can affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00016e)

GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle, accessories, and the maximum weight of the rider, passenger and cargo that can be safely carried.

The GVWR is shown on the information plate, located on the frame steering head.

GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely carried on each axle. Refer to

Weights: 2007 FXDSE.

Do not tow a disabled motorcycle. Towing can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00017a)

Do not pull a trailer with a motorcycle. Pulling a trailer can cause tire overload, reduced braking efficiency and adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00018b)

Direct contact of D.O.T. 4 brake fluid with eyes can cause irritation. Avoid eye contact. In case of eye contact flush with large amounts of water and get medical attention.

Swallowing large amounts of D.O.T. 4 brake fluid can cause digestive discomfort. If swallowed, obtain medical attention. Use in well ventilated area. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. (00240a)

Batteries, battery posts, terminals and related accessories

contain lead and lead compounds, and other chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (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.

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.

Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions. Any two wheeled vehicle may be subject to upsetting forces such as wind blasts from passing trucks, holes in the pavement, rough road surfaces, rider control error, etc. These forces may influence the handling characteristics of your motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed and guide the motorcycle with a relaxed grip to a controlled condition. Do not brake abruptly or force the handlebar. This may aggravate an unstable condition.

Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcycle and as low as possible. This minimizes the change in the motorcycle's center of gravity.

Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the vehicle.

Do not load bulky items too far behind the rider or add weight to the handlebars or front forks.

Do not exceed maximum specified load in each saddlebag.

Luggage racks are designed for lightweight items. Do not overload racks.

Be sure cargo is secure and will not shift while riding and recheck the cargo periodically. Accessories that change the operator's riding position may increase reaction time and affect handling of the motorcycle.

Additional electrical equipment may overload the motorcycle's electrical system possibly resulting in electrical system and/or component failure.

The front and/or rear guard(s) can provide limited leg and cosmetic vehicle protection under unique circumstances. (Fall over while stopped, very slow speed slide.) It is not made or intended to provide protection from bodily injury in a collision with another vehicle or any other object.

(00022a)

Large surfaces such as fairings, windshields, back rests, and luggage racks can adversely affect handling. Only genuine Harley­Davidson items designed specifically for the motorcycle model should be used with proper installation.

Do not use aftermarket parts and custom made front forks which can adversely affect performance and handling. Removing or altering factory installed parts can adversely affect performance and could result in death or serious injury. (00001a)

Only Touring Harley­Davidson Motorcycles are suitable for sidecar use. Consult a Harley­Davidson dealer. Use of motorcycles other than Touring models with sidecars could result in death or serious injury. (00040a)

Noise Control System

Tampering

Owners are warned that removal or replacement of any noise control system component may be prohibited by law. This prohibition applies prior to vehicle sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser. Use of a vehicle on which noise control system components have been removed or rendered inoperative may also be prohibited by law.

Engine Guard: FXDSE

The installation of an engine guard on this vehicle requires the removal of the chin fairing and related bracketry. California models being fitted with an engine guard will also require the installation of the stock configuration for bracketry and evaporation tubes. Refer to the Dyna parts catalog.

The front and/or rear guard(s) can provide limited leg and cosmetic vehicle protection under unique circumstances. (Fall over while stopped, very slow speed slide.) It is not made or intended to provide protection from bodily injury in a collision with another vehicle or any other object.

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 FXDSE for tire pressures and sizes.

Gasoline Blends

Your motorcycle was designed to get the best performance and efficiency using unleaded gasoline. Most gasoline is blended with alcohol and/or ether to create oxygenated blends. The type and amount of alcohol or ether added to the fuel is important.

Do not use gasoline that contains methanol. Doing so can result in fuel system component failure, engine damage and/or equipment malfunction. (00148a)

Gasoline containing METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE): Gasoline/MTBE blends are a mixture of gasoline and as much as 15% MTBE. Gasoline/MTBE blends can be used in your motorcycle.

ETHANOL is a mixture of 10% ethanol (Grain alcohol) and 90% unleaded gasoline. Gasoline/ethanol blends can be used in your motorcycle if the ethanol content does not exceed 10%.

REFORMULATED OR OXYGENATED GASOLINES (RFG): Reformulated gasoline is a term used to describe gasoline blends that are specifically designed to burn cleaner than other types of gasoline, leaving fewer tailpipe emissions. They are also formulated to evaporate less when you are filling your tank. Reformulated gasolines use additives to oxygenate the gas. Your motorcycle will run normally using this type of gas and Harley­ Davidson recommends you use it when possible, as an aid to cleaner air in our environment.

You may find that some gasoline blends adversely affect the starting, driveability or fuel efficiency of your motorcycle. If you experience one or more of these problems, it is recommended you operate your motorcycle on straight unleaded gasoline.

Fuel

Refer to Octane Ratings. Always use a good quality unleaded gasoline. Octane ratings are usually found on the pump.

Avoid spills. Slowly remove filler cap. Do not fill above bottom of filler neck insert, leaving air space for fuel expansion. Secure filler cap after refueling. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00028a)

Use care when refueling. Pressurized air in fuel tank can force gasoline to escape through filler tube. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00029a)

Modern service station pumps dispense a high flow of gasoline into a motorcycle fuel tank making air entrapment and pressurization a possibility.

Octane Ratings

SPECIFICATION

Pump Octane (R+M)/2

RATING

Throttle Control Grip

See Handlebar Controls: FXDSE. The throttle control grip (9) is located on the right handlebar control and is operated with the right hand.

To reduce rider fatigue on long trips, a spring loaded throttle friction adjustment screw (10) is located at the bottom of the throttle grip clamp on non­cruise equipped models.

1.Slowly turn throttle control grip clockwise (toward the front of the bike) to close the throttle (decelerate).

2.Slowly turn throttle control grip counterclockwise (toward rear of bike) to open the throttle (accelerate).

Do not tighten throttle friction adjustment screw to the point where the engine will not return to idle automatically. Over­tightening can lead to loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00031b)

3.Unscrew the throttle friction adjustment screw so the throttle returns to the idle position when the hand is removed from the grip.

4.Screw the throttle adjustment screw in to increase friction on grip. This provides a damping effect on throttle motion.

NOTE:

The throttle friction adjustment screw should not be used under normal stop and go operating conditions.

Clutch Hand Lever

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)

See Handlebar Controls: FXDSE. The clutch hand lever (1) is located on the left handlebar and is operated with the fingers of the left hand.

1.Slowly pull clutch hand lever in against handlebar grip to fully disengage clutch.

2.Shift to first gear using the gear shifter lever. See Shifting Gears: Six Speed.

3.Slowly release the clutch hand lever to engage clutch.

A clutch switch is incorporated into the left handlebar switch assembly. It enables the rider to start the vehicle in any gear (or in neutral) as long as the clutch lever is pulled in. If the clutch is not

disengaged, the vehicle will not start.

Horn Switch

See Handlebar Controls: FXDSE. The horn is operated by pushing on the horn switch (2) located on the left handlebar control group.

Turn Signal Switch Operation

The turn signal switches are used by the turn signal module to control turn signal operation based on vehicle speed, vehicle acceleration and turn completion.

Momentarily depress the desired turn signal switch. The turn signal lamps will begin and continue flashing until they are manually or automatically cancelled. As long as the motorcycle is stationary, the signals will flash.

NOTES:

If you are signaling to turn in one direction and you depress the switch for the opposite turn signal, the first signal is cancelled and the opposite side begins flashing.

If you want to stop the lamps from flashing, briefly depress the turn signal switch a second time. The turn signal lamps will stop flashing.

Hazard Warning

4­Way Flashers

Should it be necessary to park along side a roadway, 4­way flashers can be activated as a hazard warning to traffic.

Activate: Turn the ignition/headlamp key switch to IGNITION and simultaneously press the left and right turn signal switches. The switch can then be turned to the OFF or ACCESSORY position and locked. The flashers will continue for two hours.

Deactivate: Turn the ignition/headlamp key switch to IGNITION and simultaneously press the left and right turn signal switches.

4­Way Flashers with Security System

If it should be necessary to leave the motorcycle parked along side a roadway unattended, the 4­ way flashers can be activated and the Harley­Davidson Smart Security System can be armed. See Arming and Disarming.

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)

Sequential Port Fuel Injection

Check Engine Lamp

See Speedometer/Odometer and Tachometer. The engine check lamp is located inside the instrument cluster. Its purpose is to indicate whether or not the engine/engine management system is operating normally. The engine lamp color is red.

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 Speedometer/Odometer and Tachometer. There is a low fuel warning lamp within the instrument cluster. The low fuel lamp lights up to indicate that there is approximately 1.0 gallon (3.8 liters) of gasoline left in the tank. The low fuel lamp color is amber.

NOTE:

See LED Fuel Gauge: Flush Mount. The gas pump icon located in the fuel gauge is on at all times when the vehicle ignition switch is in the IGNITION position. It is not a low fuel warning lamp.

Gear Shift Lever

The clutch must be fully disengaged before attempting a gear shift. Failure to fully disengage the clutch can result in equipment damage. (00182a)

See Shift Pattern. The gear shift lever is located on the left side of the motorcycle and is operated with the left foot. The transmission is a six speed sequential gear box.

1.Push the gear shift lever all the way down (full stroke) to shift the transmission to the next lower gear.

2.Lift the gear shift lever all the way up (full stroke) to shift the transmission to the next higher gear.

NOTES:

Release the gear shift lever after each gear change.

The lever must return to its central position before another gear change can be made.

First gear is the last gear position that can be found by pushing the gear shift lever full stroke downward.

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.

When the motorcycle is standing still and the engine is not running, shifting gears requires a different technique. Before shifting in this condition, move the motorcycle backward and forward with the clutch fully disengaged (clutch lever pulled in). While maintaining slight pressure on the shift lever, shift from one gear to another.

Even with the engine running and the motorcycle standing still, difficulty may be experienced in shifting gears. This difficulty occurs because transmission gears are not turning and shifting parts are not lined up to permit engagement.

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)

See Shifting Gears: Six Speed for more information.
