ABOUT THIS MANUAL
GENERAL
This Service Manual Supplement has been designed to be
used with the current Service Manual and has been prepared
with two purposes in mind. First, it will acquaint the user with
the construction of the Harley-Davidson product and assist in
the performance of basic maintenance and repair. Secondly,
it will introduce to the professional Harley-Davidson Technician
the latest field-tested and factory-approved major repair
methods.We sincerely believe that this Service Manual Supplement will make your association with Harley-Davidson
products more pleasant and profitable.
NOTE
This Service Manual Supplement provides information unique
to this model motorcycle. Any information not presented in this
supplement can be found in the appropriate Service Manual
or Electrical Diagnostic Manual.
HOW TO USE YOUR SERVICE MANUAL
SUPPLEMENT
Use the TABLE OF CONTENTS (which follows this FOREWORD) and the INDEX (at the back of this manual) to quickly
locate subjects. Sections and topics in this manual are
sequentially numbered for easy navigation.

Appendix A WiringA
Appendix B GlossaryB
For example, a cross-reference shown as 2.1 SPECIFICA-TIONS refers to chapter 2 CHASSIS, heading 2.1 SPECIFICATIONS.
If the subject you seek is not in this supplement, refer to the
corresponding section in the appropriate Service Manual.
Check the title page located in the front of each section to find
the subject.
For quick and easy reference, all pages contain a section
number followed by a page number. For example, page 3-5
refers to page 5 in section 3.
In figure legends, the number following the name of a part
indicates the quantity necessary for one complete assembly.
PREPARATION FOR SERVICE
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)
Good preparation is very important for efficient service work.
A clean work area at the start of each job will allow you to
perform the repair as easily and quickly as possible, and will
reduce the incidence of misplaced tools and parts. A motorcycle
that is excessively dirty should be cleaned before work starts.
Cleaning will occasionally uncover sources of trouble. Tools,
instruments and any parts needed for the job should be
gathered before work is started. Interrupting a job to locate
tools or parts is a distraction and causes needless delay.
NOTES
•To avoid unnecessary disassembly, carefully read all relative service information before repair work is started.
•In figure legends, the number which follows the name of
a part indicates the quantity necessary for one complete
assembly.
•When servicing a vehicle equipped with the HarleyDavidson Smart Security System (H-DSSS), you must
first disarm the security system. Either keep the fob in
close proximity to the vehicle, or use Digital Technician to
disable the security system while the vehicle is being serviced and re-enable the system after service is completed.
SERVICE BULLETINS
In addition to the information presented in this Service Manual
Supplement and the appropriate Service Manual, HarleyDavidson Motor Company will periodically issue Service Bulletins to Harley-Davidson dealers. Service Bulletins cover
interim engineering changes and supplementary information.
Consult the Service Bulletins to keep your product knowledge
current and complete.
USE GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
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)
To ensure satisfactory and lasting repairs, carefully follow the
Service Manual instructions and use only genuine HarleyDavidson replacement parts. Behind the emblem bearing the
words GENUINE HARLEY-DAVIDSON stand more than 100
years of design, research, manufacturing, testing and inspecting
experience.This is your assurance that the parts you are using
will fit right, operate properly and last longer.

2.3TIRES
GENERAL
The rear tire on FL police model motorcycles is fit for solo riding
only. If converted to a two-up bike, that is, configured for passenger use (with luggage), then the rear tire needs to be
changed to one with a higher weight rating. Since it has long
been Harley-Davidson policy not to mix different types of tires
on the same vehicle, we strongly recommend that both front
and rear tires be replaced. In order to alert the customer to this
safety issue, the f ollo wing w arning appears on a label fitted to
the rear fender approximately 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) behind the
domestic seat mounting hole.
This vehicle has tires with weight ratings for one person
operation. If this vehicle is modified to carry two people,
the tires must be changed. See a Harley-Davidson dealer
for proper replacement tires. Using improper tires can
cause tire failure which could result in death or serious
injury. (00096a)
Table 2-7.Tire Data
MANUFACTURER'S DESIGNATIONSIZETIRE LOCATION
All 2008 vehicles use only Dunlop Harley-Davidson tires.
NOTE
Use the tires recommended for civilian/pleasure vehicles of
the same year and model family.
Harley-Davidson 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)
Tire size, manufacturer's description and inflation pressure are
listed below.
NOTE
ABS motorcycles must always use tires and wheels that are
the same as the original equipment. The ABS monitors the
rotational speed of the wheels through individual wheel speed
sensors. Changing to different diameter wheels or different
size tires can alter the rotational speed. This can upset the
calibration of the ABS and have an adv erse eff ect on its ability
to detect and prevent lockups. Tire inflation pressure that is
significantly low also can have an adverse effect.
Maximum air pressure for the seat is 100 psi (689 kPa).
Normal air pressure is 30-45 psi (207-310 kPa). Do not
operate with air pressure so low that system bottoms out
on bumpy roads. (00167a)
NOTES
•Initially pressurize the seat air suspension system to 40
psi (275.8 kPa), then add or remov e pressure to the rider's
comfort. DO NO T oper ate motorcycle with system underinflated.
•T o chec k minimum air pressure, ha ve rider sit on seat and
bounce to simulate riding conditions. Visually check for
any contact between air spring and frame components.
Add air as necessary.
•See Figure 2-2. Removal and installation of retaining pin
(1) requires that the air pressure be removed from the seat
air suspension system. The seat will no longer pivot up
because the front of the seat will hit the fuel tank. Retaining
pin (1) should not be removed unless the seat is to be
removed.
•The seat does not adjust forward or rearward.

GAUGE
Maximum air pressure for the seat is 100 psi (689 kPa).
Normal air pressure is 30-45 psi (207-310 kPa). Do not
operate with air pressure so low that system bottoms out
on bumpy roads. (00167a)
12. Fill air reservoir to 40 psi (275.8 kPa), then add or remov e
pressure to the rider's comfort. Install protective cap on
air valve. See Figure 2-5.
NOTE
T o set minimum air pressure , have rider sit on seat and bounce
to simulate riding conditions. Visually check for any contact
between air spring and frame components. Add air as necessary.
13. Observe air pressure gauge. If leakage occurs, then
remove tube and inspect end for b urrs or damage. If either
condition is found, snip off end of tube and insert back into
fitting.
14. Depress collar on compression fitting of each shock and
insert air tube until it bottoms. Gently tug on tube to verify
that it is locked in place.
Do not exceed maximum air pressure for rear suspension.
Air components fill rapidly. Therefore, use low air line
pressure. Failure to do so may result in possible damage
to components. (00165a)
NOTE
Initial suspension fill pressure for a normally equipped police
motorcycle is 25 psi (172.4 kPa).
15. Fill shocks to 25 psi (172.4 kPa), then add or remove
pressure to the rider's comfort. Refer to Table 2-8.

Pressurized oil flows through a hole in the oil filter mount into
a passage in the oil cooler adapter.The oil cooler adapter is
mounted between the oil filter mount and the oil filter.
A thermostat inside the oil cooler adapter controls the flow of
oil to the oil cooler.The ther mostat consists of a temperature
sensitive element compressed between a spring and threaded
plug. See Figure 3-1.
While the engine oil temperature is below 200° F (93° C), the
thermostat is open allowing most of the engine oil to pass from
the supply port directly to the return por t en route to the oil
filter.
When the engine oil temperature reaches 200° F (93° C), the
thermostat closes and the entire flow is directed to the oil cooler
through the supply hose.
The fins on the tubes of the oil cooler dissipate heat before the
flow returns to the oil cooler adapter through the return hose.
The engine oil then passes through the oil filter before returning
to the crankcase.
NOTE
For a complete description of the engine oil flow, see GENERAL INFORMATION in the Touring Models Service Manual.
1.Place a suitable drain pan beneath the oil cooler.
2.See Figure 3-2. Remove three flange nuts with flat
washers. Raise oil cooler to free threaded studs from holes

COMPRESSION TEST
TOOL NAMEPART NUMBER
CYLINDER COMPRESSION GAUGEHD-33223-1
A compression test can determine the source of cylinder
leakage. Use CYLINDER COMPRESSION GAUGE (Part
No. HD-33223-1) with a screw-in type adapter.
NOTE
The Twin Cam 103 Engine uses a 12 mm adapter with the
compression gauge.
1.Operate engine to normal operating temperature.
2.Disconnect spark plug wires.
3.Clean around plug base and remove front cylinder spark
plug.
4.Install compression tester to front cylinder per gauge
instructions.
NOTE
The test results will vary depending on whether the ACR is
connected or not. Refer to Table 8-2 for specifications.
5.Shift transmission to neutral. Crank engine continuously
through 5 to 7 compression strokes.
6.Record gauge readings at the end of the first and last
compression strokes (highest readings).
7.Replace front spark plug and repeat test on rear cylinder.
8.Refer to Table 8-2. Readings should be within specified
range. If readings are higher than normal, suspect a
compression release that is not functioning correctly. If
readings are low, inject approximately 1/2 oz. (15 ml)
engine oil into each cylinder and repeat the compression
tests on both cylinders.
NOTE
Readings that are considerably higher after injecting the oil
indicate worn piston rings.

Wire Color Codes
Wire traces on wiring diagrams are labeled with alpha codes.
Refer to Table A-3.
For Solid Color Wires: See Figure A-3. The alpha code
identifies wire color (3).
For Striped Wires:The code is written with a slash (/) between
the solid color code and the stripe code (4). For example, a
trace labeled GN / Y is a green wire with a yellow stripe.
Wiring Diagram Symbols
See Figure A-3. On wiring diagrams and in service/repair
instructions, connectors are identified by a number in brack ets
(1). The letter (2) inside the brackets identifies whether the
housing is a socket or pin housing.
A=Pin: The letter A after a connector number and the pin
symbol (6) identifies a pin housing.
B=Socket: The letter B after a connector number and the
socket symbol (5) identifies a socket housing.
Other symbols found on the wiring diagrams include the symbol
for a diode (7), a symbol for a wire-to-wire connection (8), a
symbol that verifies that no connection (9) between two wire
traces exists and a symbol identifying two wires that are twisted
together (10).
