This may aggravate an u nstable condition. Keep cargo wei g ht concentrated close to the motorcycle and as low as possible to min imi ze the change i n the motorcycle's center of gravity. Distribute weig ht evenly on both side s 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 maxi mu m specified load in each sad dlebag.

NOTE: New riders should gain experience und er variou s conditions while dr iving at moderate speeds.

Operate your motorcycle def ensively. Remember , a motorcycle does not afford the same protection as an automobile in an accident. On e of the most common accid en t situati ons occurs when the d river of th e other vehicle fails to see or recognize a motorcycle and tu rns left into the on-coming motorcyclist. Operate only with headlamp on. Wear an approved helmet, clothing, and foot gear suited for motorcycle ridi ng. Bri ght or light colors are best for greater visibility in traffic, especially at night. Avoid loo se, 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 o r other serious injury. (00009a)

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

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

Protect your motorcycl e a g a inst theft. Af ter parking your motorcycle, lock the steering head and remove ig ni tion 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 dr ugs to endanger your safety or tha t of others. Vehicles equipped with a sound system should have the volume adjusted to a nondistracting level before o perating vehicle. Maintain your motorcycle in proper operating condition in accordance with Regular Service Intervals : 2009 Touring Models. Particularly important to motorcycle stability is proper tire infl ation pressure, tread condition, and proper adjustment of wheel bearings and steerin g head bear ings.

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

Perform the service and maintenance op erations 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 ser ious injury. (00010a)

Do not operate motorcycle with loose, worn or damaged steering or suspension systems. Contact a H arley-Davi dson deale r for repairs. Loose, worn o r damaged steering or suspension components can a dversely affect stability and handl in g, which could r esult in death or serious injury. (00011a)

Regularly in spect 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 Harley-Davidson replacemen t fastener s. Aftermarket fasteners can adversely affect performance, which could result in death or serious injury. (00013a)

See your Har ley-Davidson service manual for proper torque values. Aftermarket fasteners may not have the specif ic pr operty requirements to perform pr oper ly.

Be sure tires are pr operl y inflated, balanced and have adequate tread. Inspec t your tires regularly and see a Harley-David so n dealer for repl acements. Riding with excessively worn, unbalanced or under-inflated tires can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00014a)

Replace p unctured or da maged tires. In some c ases, small punctures in the tread area may be repaired from within the demounted tire by a Harley-Davidson 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 n ot exceed the motorcycle's Gro ss Vehi cle Wei ght Rating (GVWR) or Gr oss 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, accessori es, and th e maximum weight of the r ider, pa ssenger and car g o th at can be saf ely car rie d . GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely carri ed on each axle. The GVWR and GAWR are sh own on the information p late located on the frame steering head.

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

Do not pull a trailer w ith a motorcycle. Pulli ng a trailer can cause tire overl oad, reduced braking efficiency and adversely affect stability and handling, which could resu lt in death or se rious injury. (00018b)

Direct contact of D.O.T. 4 brake fluid with eyes can cause irritation. Avoid eye co ntact. In case of eye contact flush with large amounts of water an d 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, termi nals and related accessories contain lead and l ead compounds, and other chemical s known to the State of California to cause can cer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (00019e)

Consult a Harley-Davidson 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 ser ious injury. (00020a)

Be sure all equipment required by federal, state and local law is installed and in good operating condition.

Do n ot open storage compartments while riding. Distractio ns wh ile riding can lead to loss of control, which c ould result in death or serious injury. (00082a)

If ABS lamp remains on continuously, the ABS is not operating. The standard brake system is operational, but wheel lock up can occur. Contact a HarleyDavidson Dealer to have ABS repaired. A locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00361a)

ABS cannot prevent lockup of rear wheel due to engine braking. ABS will n ot aid in cornering or on loose/uneven surfaces. A locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00362a)

Rules of the Road

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, o n curves, or when going up or down a hill. At street intersections gi ve the ri ght-of-way. Do not presume you have the right-of-way, 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 rail r oad crossin gs should always be observed and your actions governed accordingly. When inten din g to turn, sign al at least 100 feet 30.5 meters bef ore r eaching the turning poi nt. I f turning acr oss an intersection, move over to the center line of the street (unless local rules requ ire otherwise). Slow down when entering the intersection an d turn carefully. Never anticipate a tr affic light. When a ch ange is indicated from GO to STOP (or vice versa) in the traf fic control systems at intersections, slow down and wait for the lig ht to change. Never run through a yellow or red traffic li ght. While turning either right o r left, watch for pedestrians, animals, as well as vehicles. Do not leave th e curb or parking area without signaling. Be sure your way is clear to enter moving traffic. A movin g line of traf fic always has the rig ht-of-way. Be sure your license plate is installed in the po sition specified by law and is clearly visible at all times. K eep the pl ate clean. Ride at a safe sp eed that is consistent with the typ e of h igh way you are on. Pa y str ict attentio n 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 high way dictate adjusting your speed and driving habits accordingly.

Accessori es an d C argo

Harley-Davidson Motor Company cannot test and make specific recommendations concerning every accessory or combination of accessories sold. Therefore , the rider must be resp onsible f or sa fe 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 r esult in death or serious injury. (00021a)

GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle, accessori es, and th e maximum weight of the r ider, pa ssenger and car g o th at can be saf ely car rie d . GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely carri ed on each axle. The GVWR and GAWR are shown on the info rmation plate which is located on the frame down tube.

Accessory an d Cargo G u idelines

The following guidelines should be used when equipping a motorcycle, carrying passengers and/or cargo.

Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. Always reduce speed when poor driving conditions exist. High speed i ncreases 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 character istics of your motorcycle. If this ha ppens, reduce speed and gu ide th e motorcycle with a relaxed grip to a controlled condition. Do not brake abruptly or force the handlebar. This may aggravate an u nstable condition. Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcycle and as low as possible. This mi nimi zes the change in t he motorcycle's cen ter of grav ity . Distri bute weight evenly on both sid es 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 sad dleb ag . Luggage racks are desi gned for lightweight items. Do not overload racks. Be sure cargo is secure and will not shift while riding and recheck the cargo perio dically. Accessories that chang e the operator's riding p osition may in cr ease r eaction time and af f ect handling of the motorcycle. Additi onal el ectrical 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, ver y 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)

Lar ge sur faces such as fairings, wi ndshields, back rest s, and lu ggage racks can a dversely af fect handling. Only genuine Harley-Davidso n items designed specifically for the motorcycle model should be used with proper installation.

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

Noise Control System

Tampering

Owners are warned that removal or replacement of any noise contr ol 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 whi ch noise control system components have been removed or rendered inoperative may also be prohibited by law.

Tire Data

Match ti res, tu bes, air valves and caps to the correct whe e l 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 Harley-Davidson approved tires. See a Harley-Davidson dealer. Using non-approved tires can adversely affect stability, which could result in death or serious injury. (00024a)

Tubeless tires fitted with the correct siz e inner tubes may be used on all Harley-Davidson laced (wire spoked) whee ls. P rotective rubber r im strips must be used wit h tub e less tires ( fitte d with correct size i nner tu bes) when mounted on l a ced (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 de ath or serious injury. (00025a)

Tubeless ti res are used on all Harl ey-David son cast and disc wheels. Ti re sizes are molded on the tir e sidewal l. Inner tube sizes are printed on the tube.

Harley-D a vidson fro nt and rear tires are not the same. I nterchan ging front an d rear tires can cause tire failure, which could result in death or serious injury. (00026a)

Do not inflate ti re beyond maximum pressure as specified on si dewall. Over inflated tires can blow out, whic h could result in death o r serious inj ury. (00027a)

Harley-David son 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 Harley-Davi dson approved replacement tir es. (00090b)

See Specifications: 2009 Touring Models

for tire pressures and sizes.

Gasoline Blends

Your motorcycle was designed to get the best performance and efficiency using un leaded gasoline. Most gasoline is bl ended with alcohol and /or ether to create oxygenated blend s. The type and amount of alcohol or ether added to the fuel is important.

5 of 7 07/30/2011 4:43 A

2009 Touring Models Owner's Manual: Specifications https://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US/Content/Pages/Owners/om/200...

Do not use gasoline that contains methanol. Doing so can result i n fue l system comp onent fail ure, en gin e damage and/ o r equipment malfunction. (00148a)

Gasolin e containin g METHYL TER TIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE): Gasoline/MTBE blends are a mixture of gasoline and as much as 15% MTBE. Gasoli n e/MTBE blends can be used in your motorcycle. ETHANOL is a mixture of 10% ethanol (Grain alcohol) and 90% unleaded gasoline. Gasoli ne/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 specifi cally designed to burn cleaner than other types of gasoline, leavi ng fewer tailp ipe emissions. They are also formulated to evaporate less when yo u are filling your tank. Reformulated gaso lines use additives to oxygenate the gas. Your motorcycle will run normally using this type of gas and Harley-Davidson reco mmends yo u use it when possible, as an aid to cleaner ai r in our environment. Do not use race gas or octane boosters. Use of these fuels will damage the fuel system.

Some gasoline blends might adversely affect the starting, driveability or fuel efficiency of the motorcycle. I f any of these problems are experienced, try a different brand of gasoli n e or gasoline with a higher octane blend.

Fuel

Refer to Octane Ra t ings. Always use a good quali ty 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. Gasolin e is extremely flammable and hig hly explosive, which coul d result in death or serious injury. (00028a)

Use care when refueling. Pr essurized air in fuel tank c an force gasoline to escape through filler tube. Gasoli ne is extremely flammable an d highly explosive, which could resu lt in de a th or serio us injury. (00029a)

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

Electronic Throttle Con trol (ETC )

Tourin g models are equipped with Electronic Throttle Control (ETC). Instead of using a mechanical cable connection to the throttle body, th is techn ology uses redundant g rip sensors to indicate rider requ ested throttle position to the Electronic Module (E CM). T he ECM then r egul ates proper fuel/air intake and ignition timing b ased on the ri der request. The gri p sensor is man ufactured with internal cams and spring retainer for natural feel and operation.

ETC operation is designed for ri der safety and continued motorcycl e operation, even in the event of a component f ailure. T h e E lectronic Contr ol Module monitors the status of the g r ip sensors, throttle plate actuation and airflow. If any problems are detected, the motorcycle will disable cruise control, illuminate the engine check lamp, and revert to one of the following fallback modes.

ETC Limited Performance Mode

The rider will experience near-normal operation. The motorcycle will operate with provisions to guard against unintended acceleration.

ETC Power Managem e nt M ode

The throttle plate actuator returns to an "idle detent" or "limp-home" po sition, which will provide enough torque to achieve speed of about 25 mph 40 kph . The motorcycle's response to grip sensor input is significantly reduced.

ETC Forced Idle Mode

The throttle plate actuator is forced to a "fast idle" position, which will provide enough torque to crawl, but n ot enoug h torque to operate at traffic speeds.

ETC Forced Shutdown Mode

The en gin e is forced to shut d own.

Turn Signal Switch Operation

The turn signal switches are used by the turn signal module to control turn signal operation based on vehicle sp eed , 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 signa l i ng to tur n in one direction and you depr ess the switch for the o pposite turn signal, the first signal is cancelled and the opposite side begins flashing. If you want to stop t he lamps fr o m flashing, briefly dep ress the t urn signal switch a sec o nd time. The turn signal lamps will stop flashing.

This system allows a stranded vehicle to be left in the four-way flashing mode and secured until help is found.

Indicator Lam ps

See Indicator Lamps. Five indicator lamps are provided.

The green TURN indicato rs will flash when turn signals are activated; therefo re, flashing indi cates the chosen turn dir ection. When the 4-way hazard fl ashers 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 indicato r lamp, when lit, signals that oil is not circulating through the engine.

NOTE: The OIL indicator lamp will glow wh en the ignition is turned on prior to startin g engin e. With engine

running, lamp should be off when engine speed is above idle.

Sever al other circumstances t hat coul d cause th e red oil indicator lamp to si gnal, include the foll owing:

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. I n freezin g weather the oil feed may clog with ice and sludg e, preventing oil circulati on. A grounded o il signal switch wire. A faulty sign al swi tch. 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 un til the tro uble is located an d the n ecessary r epai rs are made.

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 n atural and easy.

NOTES:

The rider al w ays o ver-rides and controls the system. The system will not wo rk at vehi cle speeds below 30 mph 48 km/h o r above 85 mph 137 km/h . The system is managed by th e ECM. The tachometer p rovides information to diseng age the system if the engin e RPM suddenly i ncreases. Besides th e ECM, th e system h as other compon ents: a stepper-moto r (controll ed by the computer) w hich oper ates the throttle durin g CRUISE o peration, and several internal sw i tches, all sending information to the computer. The system will allow r ider to incr ease sp eed 10 mph 16 k m/h o r more (depen d i ng on h o w hard the rid er rolls on the throttle and the condition o f the vehicle) over the S ET point before deactivating . This feature allows the rider to momentarily increase sp eed, if necessary. Rolling on the throttl e to greatly increase speed may deactivate the system.

2. momentar ily push the RES UME /S ET switch on th e rig ht hand lebar to SET. After a delay of about 1-1/2 seconds, the icon will turn green on the face of the gauge to indicate the selected cru ising speed is l ocked in .

Disengag ing Cruise Control

The cruise control automatically disengages whenever the cruise control module receives one of th e following inputs:

Front and/or rear brake is applied.1. Throttle is rolled back or closed, thereby actuating roll-off (disengage) switch.2. Motorcycle clutch is disengag ed (module senses too great an i ncrease i n RPM).3. Vehicle sp eed is out of the operating range.4.

NOTE: Rolling on the throttl e mor e than 10 mph 16 km/h above the set speed may al so deactivate the

cru i se contro l .

When the cruise is diseng aged, the green cruise en gaged icon on the face of the gau ge 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 cr uise speed, RESU ME la st se t s peed, ACCELERATE or DE CE LERA TE, simply pr e ss the RE S U ME / S ET switch.

Resum i ng Cruise Speed

If the system is deactivated using one of the methods described under DEACTIVATING CRUISE CONTROL, the system is still ON sho uld you decide to RESUME the set speed. To accomplish this, si mp ly p ress the RESUME/SET switch t o RESUME .

NOTE: The computer w i l l hold the SET speed in memory for the RESUME function. If the vehicl e sp eed drops

more than 15 mph 24 km/h below the S ET speed, speed can no longer be R ESUMED. If crui se operatio n is still desired, pr ess the RESU ME /S ET switch to SE T to reset the cruise speed.

Accelerating Above Cruise Spee d

With the cru ise speed set, momentar ily press the R ESUME/SE T switch to RESUME to increase

1. the spee d by 1 mph 1.6 km/h .

Pressing and holding the RESUME/SET switch at RESUME will cause the system to continue to

2. increase speed in increments of approximately 1 mph 1.6 km/h until the switch is released. There is a delay of about 2 second s b ef ore th e speed i ncreases.

Decelerating Cruis e Control

With the cru ise speed set, momentar ily press the RESUME/SET switch to SE T to red uce the

1. speed by 1 mph 1.6 kph .

Pressing and holding the RESUME/SET switch at SET will cause the system to continue to

Gear Shift Lever: Touring Models

Location

The clutch must be fully disengaged before attempting a gear shift. Failure to fully disengag e the clutc h 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 foo t. The gear sh ift lever sh ifts the six-speed transmission from one gear to the ne xt.

Shift Pattern

See Shift Pattern: 6-Speed 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 th e foot sh ift lever a fter each gear chan g e . This allows th e l ever to return to its central

position before another gear change can be made.

Hee l -Toe Foot Sh i f t er

See Shift Pattern: 6-Speed Touring Models. Touring Models are fitted with a heel-toe shifter lever. Two shift levers are fitted to the shifter shaft - one facing forward and one r earward.

The toe of the left foot can upshift or downshift using th e front shift l ever. However, the r ider has the option of upshifting with the heel on the rear facing sh ift lever.

Shifting While Stopped

When diffic u lty of shifting gears is experienced, do not under any circumstances, attempt to force the sh ift. 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 moto rcycle backward and forward while maintaining slight pressure on the shift lever.

See Shifting Gears for more information.

Brake System

General

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 r igh t foot.

The front brake hand l ever controls the fr ont wheel brake and i s located on the right handlebar. Operate th e hand lever with the fingers of the ri ght han d.

Some models are equipped with an anti-lock braking system.

Non-ABS Brake System

Apply brakes uni formly and evenly to prevent wheels from l ocki ng. Use front and rear brakes equally

15 of 27 07/30/2011 4:44 A

2009 Touring Models Owner's Manual: Controls and Indicators https://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US/Content/Pages/Owners/om/200...

for best results.

Do n ot apply brake strongly enoug h to lock the wheel. A locked w heel will skid and can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00053a)

Ant i-lock Brake S yste m (ABS)

Harley-Davidson's Anti-Lo ck Brake System assists the rider in maintaining contro l when braking in a strai ght-l ine emergency situation. A BS operates independentl y on f ront and rear brakes to keep the wheels rolling and prevent uncontro lled wheel lock-ups either on dry pavement or on slick surfaces such as gravel, leaves or when riding in wet co nditions.

ABS: How It Works

The AB S monitors sensors at the front an d rear wheels to determine wheel speed. If th e system detects one or both wheels are slowing down too quickly, which indicates they are close to locking, or if the decel eration r ate does not match a criteria stored in memory, the ABS reacts. The system rapidly opens and closes valves to modulate the brake caliper pressure utilizing only the brake lever/pedal pressure being applied by the rider. During ABS activation, the system provides the electronic equivalent of manually pumping the brakes and is capable of cycli n g u p to seven times per second.

The rider will recognize ABS activation by the slight pulsing sensation in the hand lever or the rear brake pedal. The pulsi n g sensation may also be accompanied by a clicking sound from the ABS module. Both are the resu lt of normal operation. Refer to ABS Symp t oms and Cond itio ns.

ABS: How To Use

Whi le an ad van tage in emergency braking, ABS i s n ot a substitute for safe riding. The safest way to stop a motorcycle is upr ight with both wheel s str aigh t.

Harley-Davidson ABS is a manual assist system. When in an emergency stopping situation, maintain pressur e on th e b r akes th rough al l ABS even ts. Do not modulate or "pump" the b r ake control s. T he wheels won't l ock un til the end of the stop when motorcycle speed reaches appr oxi mately four miles per hour and ABS is no longer needed.

More information is available at www.harley-davidson.co m/abs.

ABS: Tires and Wheels

ABS motorcycles must al ways use tires an d wheels that ar e the same as the orig inal equipment. The ABS monitors the rotational sp eed of the wheels through indivi dual wheel speed sensors. Changing to different d iameter wheels or dif f erent si zed tires can alter the rotational speed. This can u pset the calibration of the ABS and have an adverse effect on its ability to detect and prevent uncontrolled wheel lo ckups. Tire inflation pressure that is significantly low also can have an adverse effect.

Normal conditio n.

Normal conditio n - most noticeable when braking with one brake (front only or rear only). Result of a reduction in deceleration which can be caused by cracks or bumps in road, engine braking (high engine RPMs causing the rear wheel to slow down), hard braking at slow speeds, and other conditions. This is due to ABS modulating caliper brake pressur e to pr event uncontrol led wheel l ock.

Normal condition - engine braking (high engine RPMs causing the rear wheel to slow down) or down shifting can activate A BS. If app lying th e rear bra ke at the same time or i mmediatel y af ter, the ABS may be cl osi ng a val ve to pr event pressure to the rear br ake. This is d ue to ABS modulating caliper br ake pressure to prevent uncontrolled wheel lock.

Normal condi tion - depending on surface, tire can leave a black mark with out locki ng the wheel.

Normal condition - ABS will not activate on front wheel belo w 3 mph 5 km/h or on rea r wheel below 5 mph 8 km/h .

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.

Jiffy Stand Interlock: International Models

Some international mo dels are equipped with a jiffy stand interlock feature. I f the rider attempts to start the engi ne or pushes the starter button while the tra nsmissi on is i n gear

and the jiffy stand is down, then the jiffy stand interlock system will not permit the engine to run. The message "SidE StAnd" will scroll across the odometer to indicate this to the rider. Raising the jiffy stand (or putting the transmission in neutral) will permit the engine to run and clear the message.

I f the ji ffy stand f alls out of the fully retracted posi tion whi le riding at sp eeds greater than 10 mph 15 km/h , then the jiffy stand interlock system will maintain engine operation and alert the rider about this by illuminating the indicators (flash twice) and scroll the message "SidE StAnd" across the odometer. The message will remain until the system detects the jiffy stand in the fully retracted position again. The r ider may continue to operate the veh icle while i n this mode.

2009 Touring Models Owner's Manual: Controls and Indicators https://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US/Content/Pages/Owners/om/200...

The rider may clear t he text messages at an y t ime by pressing the fu ncti on switch once while the vehicle is powered up.

NOTE: If the operation o f raising the ji ffy stand and puttin g the transmission in gear i s rapidly execu ted, the

jiffy stand bou ncing off the frame could cause the jiffy stand interlock system to activate and stop the eng i ne.

Rear View Mirrors

Objects in mirrors ar e closer than they appear. Use caution when ju dgi ng distanc e of objects in mirrors. Failure to judge correct distances could result in death or ser ious 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 judg ing the size or rela tive distance of objects seen i n rear view mirrors. Always adjust the rear view mirrors to clearly reflect the area behind the motorcycle before ridi ng.

NOTE: Adjust mirrors so you can see a small portion of your shoulders in each mirror. This will help you

establish the relative di stance 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 overtig htening.

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 expansio n. Expansion can cause an overfilled tank to overflo w 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. I nadequ ate safety precau tions could result in death or serious in jury.

NOTES:

FLHT/FLTR model fuel filler cap is located beneath a locking door . Use the ignition key to unlo ck fuel door . The fuel filler cap sho uld be full y clo sed before closing the fuel door. See Fuel Tank: FLHR. FLHR model fuel filler cap is l o cated o n the right side of the fuel ta nk. The cap on the left side is the fuel gauge and is not removable.

See D in FLHX, FLHTC and FLTR LCD Display Examples. At any time the receiver is playing, the volume can be adjusted by pressing the AUDIO switch up (+) to increase vo lume or down ( -) to decr ea se volume.

AM vs FM Reception

Commercial radio broadcasting is either AM (Amplitude Modulation) or FM (Frequency Modulation).

AM radio waves reflect off the ionosphere which results in consistent signal reception at a long range (up to 100 miles or 160 kilometers).

However, AM radio can be displaced by loud humming, popping and crackling noises. This is electrical interference caused by n oi se f rom vehicl e ign iti ons, electric sig ns, power lines an d electrical storms.

https://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US/Content/Pages/Owners/om/200...

The advantages of FM radio are high fi del ity sound, stereo reception, a wide range of broadcastin g formats, and a signal that i s f ree of electrical interfer ence.

The disadvantage o f FM radio is its sho rt range. FM radio waves travel in straight lines, called "lineof-sigh t," therefore, FM signals cannot be received over the h orizon. A t the limit of a station's range, the recep tion may fade in and out when objects pass between the transmitter and the motorcycl e.

FM Stereo vs FM Mono

See E in FLHX, FLHTC and FLTR LCD Display Examples. Normally, the Advanced Au d io System plays FM signals in stereo. The LCD will indicate STEREO.

However, the stereo receiver has circuits which eliminate or minimize FM flutter due to weak stereo signals. T he circu its detect a weak FM stereo sig nal an d automatically blend it in to a stronger FM mono si gnal. T he transit ion is smooth and flutter f ree because it occurs over a rang e of signal con ditions, rather than at a min imum thresh old.

When th e system is automatically b lend ing or is receivin g an FM mono sig nal, the stereo indi cator (STEREO) will disappear from LCD screen.

See H i n FLHX, FLHTC and FLTR LCD Display Examples. Broadcast by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Band (WB) frequencies are available in North America o nly.

To receive NOAA weather alerts while listening to other radio bands, highlight the Alert indicato r in the WB display by pressing the soft key. An alert tone will automatically switch the receiver to the announcing WB channel regardless of which frequency band is playing.

When eq uip ped with the CB module, use the soft key to hig hligh t the Al ert indi cator in th e L CD disp lay. Weather alerts are announced over other audio and the Alert indicator is highlighted in the display.

Recommendations for Handling CDs

Use caution when handling a CD. Avoid touching the bottom (shiny) side. Store audio CD/MP3 di scs in a crylic jewel cases to protect against dust, scratche s, light, and changes in humidity. Store CDs in a cool dry p lace away from direct sun light. Use co mmercially available cleaning tissue to clean the CDs. Never use solvents that can damage the CD. Keep protective CD door closed at al l times.

https://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US/Content/Pages/Owners/om/200...

Do not disassemble unit. Laser radiation is present if disc player is disassembled and the interlock fails or is defeated. Exposure to laser radiation could lead to death or serious injury. (00087a)

NOTE: A laser that cannot focus properly may cause skipping. A clouded lens can be caused by dirty CDs,

dust, smoke, high humidity, and airborne particles may cause the laser lens to cloud. Operating the CD w i thout allo w i ng the motorcycle to warm u p ca n also cause a C D to skip.

2009 Touring Models Owner's Manual: Advanced Audio Syste

Some local governments prohibit or restrict the use of headset (helmet-mounted) speakers. Please check with local authorities and obey all applicable laws and regulat io ns. (00173a)

A Harley-Davidson dealer can help you select the correct genuine Harley-Davidson headsets and microphones for your year and model Harley-Davidson. Harley-Davidson stereo helmet headsets with 7 pin DIN jacks fit the rider and the passenger intercom sockets. Other headset microphones will not work.

Open th e socket cap an d with th e rid ge on the head set j ack f a cing upward an d inser t the jack i nto either the front or rear head set socket.

NOTE: For areas that do not permit headset speakers, a special hand-held microphone can be used to

transmit over the CB. This microph o ne is also available thro ugh a Har l ey-Davidson dealer.

Do not pull on the cord to remove the headset from the sock et. Pull on the headset jack to discon nect the headset from the socket. (00174a)

The spr ing loaded hinge keep s the headset socket cap closed whi le riding. It protects against dirt and water when the headset or hand-held microphone is not in use. Before washing the motorcycle, verify that BOTH rider and passeng e r socket caps ar e closed.

Front Headset Socket Cap

VOX Microphones

The Harley-Davidson intercom uses a voice-activated (VOX) microphone for hands-free intercom operation. The headset microphone minimizes the transmission of hand-held microphone generated noise.

The intercom is activated when a voi ce or sound exceed s a preset audio level, the voi ce is sai d to "break VOX " . The voice or sound is transmitted to the he adsets.

NOTE: Pressing and holding the PTT switch wi ll a l so o pen the micro phone.

Once VOX is broken, a conversation can proceed uninterrupted. A f ter the absence of sound or voice, there is a delay of approximately 2 seconds before the microphone is deactivated. This delay in deactivation all ows for pauses in conversation.

Because loud exhausts, passing trucks, car horns or other background sounds may unintentionally activate the intercom, the sound level necessary to break VOX is adjustabl e. See Intercom

Operation

Operating Recommendations: Touring Models

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 ser ious injury . (00556c)

Take a rider training course. Read Owner's Manual before riding, adding accessories or servicin g. Wear a helmet, eye protection and pr otecti ve clothing. Never tow a trai ler.

Do not run the engine at extremely high RPM with clutch disengaged or transmission in neutral. Running an engine at high RPM can result in engine dam age. (00177a)

Th e maximum recommended safe e ngine speed is 5500 RPM. Do not idl e engine unnecessarily for more than a few minutes with motorcycle standing still.

Do not exceed the maximum safe RPM specified below under any conditions. Exceeding the maximum safe engine RPM can result in equipment damage. (00248a)

NOTE: The ma x imum r ecommended engine s peed fo r FLT/FLH model motorcycle s is 5500 RPM.

Air- cooled engines require air movement over the cylinders and h eads to maintain proper operating temperature. Extended periods of idling or parade duty can overheat the engine, resulting in serious engine damage. (00178a)

An engine running long distances at high speed must be given closer than ordinary attention to avoid overheatin g and possible engine damage.

This applies particularly to a motorcycle equipped with windshield and fairing.

NOTE: Have the en g ine checked r eg ularly and keep it w ell tu n ed.

2009 Touring Models Owner's Manual: Operation https://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US/Content/Pages/Owners/om/200...

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 seri ous injury. (00041a)

NOTE: When d escen ding u pon a lon g , steep grad e, downshift and use en g i ne compression together with

intermittent applicati o n of both brakes to slow the motorcycle.

Continuous use of brake causes overheating and reduced efficiency, which could resu lt in death or serious injury. (00042a)

Do not coast for long distances with the engi ne off or idling. The transmission is properly lubricated only when the engine is running. Coasting long distances can resu lt in tr ansmission damage. (00180b)

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

Break-in Riding Rules

The First 500 Miles (800 Kilometers)

Winter Lubrication

In colder climates, the engine oil should be changed o ften. If mo torcycle is used frequently for short trips, less than 15 miles 24 kilometers , in ambient temperatures below 60° F 16° C , oil change intervals should be reduced to 1500 miles 2400 kilometers . Motorcycles used only for short runs must have a thorough tank flush-out before new o il is put in. The tank flush-out should be performed by an authorized dealer or qual ified techn ician.

NOTE: The further below freezing the temperatur e drops, the shorter the oil chan ge interval should b e.

Water vapor is a normal by-product of combustion in any engine. During cold weather operation, some of th e water v apor condense s to liquid form on th e cool meta l surface s inside the engi ne. In freezing weather this water will become slush or ice and, if allo wed to accumulate too long, may block the oil lines and cause d a mage to the engi ne.

If the engine is run frequently and allowed to tho roughly warm up, most o f this water will become vapo r again and will be blown out through the crankcase breather.

If the engine is not run frequently and allowed to thoroughly warm up, this water will accumulate, mix with the engine oi l and form a sludge th at is harmful to the eng ine.

Transmission L ubrication

General

The transmission lubricant level should be checked monthly. Refer to Regular Service Intervals: 2009 Touring Models. The transmission should be drained and

refilled with fresh lubricant at specified intervals.

Refer to Regular Service Intervals: 2009 Touring Models for all control connections and pa rts. Vehicle should be oiled at regular intervals, particularly after washing motorcycle or driving in wet weather.

Front For k Oil

Refer to Regular Service Intervals: 2009 Touring Models. Have a Harley-Davidson dealer drain the front fork oil and refill at proper intervals. If fork do es not appear to be working properly or an appreciable amount of oil leakage should develop, see a Harley-Davidson dealer. If there is insufficient oil in either side of fork, the rebound action will be incorrect.

Fuel Filter

Fuel injected motorcycl es have a fuel fil ter attached to the fu el pump.

NOTE: For model specific information regarding fuel filter maintenance, refer to the appropriate Service

Manual or see a Harley-Davi d so n dealer.

Clutch

The clutch control cable must be oiled and adjusted periodically to compensate for lining wear. See Service Interval Table. Failure to oil and adjust the clutch control cable can result in equipment damage. (00203a)

The need for attention to clutch and contro ls will be indicated by the clutch slipping under load or draggin g when released. In this situation, ch eck the control cable adjustment f irst. See a Har leyDavidson dealer for proper service.

Hydraulic Lifters

The h ydraulic lifters are self-adjusting. They a utomatically adjust l ength to compensate for engine expansion and valve mechan ism wear. Th is keeps the valve mechanism free of lash when th e engi ne is running.

When starting an engin e which has been tu rned off even f or a few mi nutes, the valve mechan ism may be slightly noisy until the hydraulic units completely refill with oil. If at any time the valve mechanism becomes abnormal ly noi sy, other th an for a short peri od immediatel y af ter engi ne is started, it is an indi cation tha t one or more of the hydraulic u nits may n ot be functioning properly.

Always check the oil supply in the oil tank first since normal circulation of oil through the engine is necessary for proper operation of the hydraulic units.

I f there is oil in the tank, the units may not be functioning properly because of dirt in the oil supply passages leading to the lifter units. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
