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.

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.
