2007 CVO Softail Springer Owner's Manual
Safety First
Safe Operating Rules: Softail 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)
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 booklet 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 the Regular Service Intervals: 2007 FXSTSSE. 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 a 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.
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, located on the frame down tube.
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)
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)
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.

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 FXSTSSE 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.

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)

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 gallon (3.8 liters) of gasoline left in the tank. The low fuel lamp color is amber.
NOTE:
See Instruments: FXSTSSE. The gas pump icon located in the fuel gauge (3) 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 Shifting Sequence: Downshift. 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 for more information.
Shifting Sequence: Downshift
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
