GENERAL INFORMATION3.3
FUEL
Use a good quality leaded or unleaded gasoline (91 pump
octane or higher). Octane rating is usually posted on the
pump.
CAUTION
Using gasolines with alcohol additives (such as methanol) can cause rubber components within the fuel system to fail or result in engine damage.
GASOLINE/ALCOHOL BLENDS
Harley-Davidson motorcycles were designed to give the best
performance using unleaded gasoline. Some fuel suppliers
sell gasoline/alcohol blends as a fuel. The type and amount
of alcohol added to the fuel is important.
●
DO NOT USE GASOLINES CONTAINING METHANOL.
Using gasoline/methanol blends will result in starting
and driveablility deterioration and damage to critical fuel
system components.
●
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. Your motorcycle will run normally using this type of gas.
Yo u may find that some gasoline blends adversely affect the
starting, driveability or fuel efficiency of your bike. If you
experience one or more of these problems, we recommend
you try a different brand of gasoline or gasoline with a higher
octane rating.

HOT CHECK
as follows:
WINTER LUBRICATION
Combustion in an engine produces water vapor. During starting and warm-up in cold weather, especially in freezing temperatures, the vapor condenses to water before the
crankcase is hot enough to exhaust it through the breather
system. If the engine is run long enough for the crankcase to
become thoroughly heated, the water returns to vapor and is
then exhausted.
An engine used for only short trips, and seldom allowed to
thoroughly warm up, accumulates increasing amounts of
water in the oil pan. Water mixed with oil forms a sludge that
causes accelerated engine wear. In freezing temperatures,
the water becomes slush or ice, which may clog oil lines and
result in engine failure.
Always change the engine oil more often in winter. If the
engine is used for short runs, change the oil even more frequently. The farther below freezing the temperature drops the
more often the oil should be changed.
OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR LAMP
The
red
OIL PRESSURE indicator lamp illuminates to indicate improper circulation of the engine oil. The lamp illuminates when the ignition is first turned on (before the engine is
started), but should be extinguished once the engine is running.
Check the engine oil level if the oil pressure indicator
lamp remains illuminated. If the oil level is normal, stop
the engine immediately. Do not ride the vehicle until the
probem is located and corrected.
If the indicator lamp is not extinguished, it may be the result
of a low oil level or diluted oil supply. In freezing weather, the
oil feed and return lines can clog with ice or sludge. A defect
in the lamp wiring, faulty oil pressure switch/sender, damaged oil pump, plugged oil filter element, incorrect oil viscosity, broken or weak spring in the oil pressure relief valve and/
or damaged or incorrectly installed O-rings in the engine may
also cause the indicator lamp to remain on.
To troubleshoot the problem, always check the engine oil
level first. If the oil level is OK, determine if oil returns to the
pan from the oil return hose. If oil does not return, shut off the
engine until the problem is located and corrected.
To check the engine oil pressure, proceed as follows:
1. Verify engine oil level. See CHECKING ENGINE OIL
LEVEL in this section.
2. Locate the oil pressure switch/sender at the front right
side of the crankcase.
3. On FLHR/C/S models, pull elbow from post of oil pressure switch. On FLHT/C/U and FLTR models, pull external latch outward and use rocking motion to remove
Packard connector from oil pressure sender.
4. On FLHR/C/S models, use a 15/16 inch Open End Crow
Foot (Snap-On FC30B) to remove oil pressure switch
from crankcase. On FLHT/C/U and FLTR models, use 11/16 inch Open End Crow Foot (Snap-On FC34A) to
remove oil pressure sender.
5. Start OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ADAPTER (HD-96921-
110) into crankcase bore. Using a 5/8 inch open end
wrench, turn adapter until snug. See Figure 3-4.
6. Moving to left side of vehicle, route banjo fitting and hose
of OIL PRESSURE GAUGE (HD-96921-52B) over
shifter lever and oil filter to right side of engine. See Fig-
ure 3-5.
7. Slide washer on banjo bolt and insert through banjo fitting on gauge. Install second washer on bolt and thread
into adapter until snug.
8. Run vehicle or simulate road running until engine is at
normal operating temperature, approximately 230
(110o C.). Gauge reading will not be accurate if engine is
not completely warmed.
9. Verify that oil pressure is 30-38 psi (207-262 kN/m2) at
2000 rpm.
10. Remove banjo bolt (and washers) from adapter. Remove
gauge from vehicle and then remove adapter from
crankcase.

CAUTION
The oiling system is carefully designed for optimum efficiency. All oil holes and passageways are specially
sized. Exercise caution to avoid enlarging oil holes during cleaning. Any modification of the oiling system will
adversely affect oil pressure or cooling and lubrication
efficiency.
Oil Feed (Figures 3-6, 3-7)
Oil flows from the oil pan through a passageway at the front
of the transmission housing into a flexible hose clamped to
the lower fitting (A1) at the rear right side of the crankcase.
Running through a passageway in the crankcase, the oil exits
a hole in the crankcase flange (B2) and enters a hole on the
inboard side of the cam support plate. Passing through a
channel in the cam support plate (A3), the oil enters the feed
side of the oil pump. See OIL PUMP OPERATION. The feed
gerotors of the pump direct the flow up a second channel in
the cam support plate (A4).
A drilling in this channel connects to a pressure relief valve
mounted in the bypass port of the cam support plate (A5).
When the oil pressure exceeds the setting of the valve spring
(35 psi), the orifice opens to bypass excess oil back to the
feed side of the pump (A3).
Oil not returned to the feed side exits a hole on the inboard
side of the cam support plate and passes through a hole in
the crankcase flange (B6). Flowing through a passageway in
the crankcase, where a reading is taken by the oil pressure
sender (B7), the oil exits the lower hole in the oil filter mount
(D8).
After circulating through the oil filter, the flow of oil is directed
back into the crankcase through the upper hole in the oil filter
mount (D9). Exiting a passageway in the crankcase through
a hole in the crankcase flange (B10), the flow of oil reenters
the cam support plate.
Filtered oil is then routed to the top and bottom ends of the
engine, as described below.
Top End (Figures 3-6, 3-7)
Oil passes through a channel in the cam support plate exiting
the inboard side through two holes near the top (A11, A12).
Entering two holes in the crankcase flange (B13, B14), one
leading to the front cylinder and the other to the rear, the oil
travels through passageways in the crankcase to the hydraulic lifter bores (D15).
Exiting a hole in each lifter bore (E16), the oil flows around
the lifter and enters a hole at the side of the lifter body. As the
chamber inside the lifter body is filled, the push rod socket
rises to achieve the no-lash fit of the valve train components.
The flow of oil then exits a hole centered in the lifter socket
and runs up the hollow push rods.
NOTE
Note that there is one additional hole drilled into the inside
lifter bores- while the oblong hole circulates oil around the
lifter body as described, the round hole (E17) feeds oil to the
piston jets in the flywheel compartment.
Exiting holes at the top of the hollow push rods, oil enters a
hole at the bottom of the intake and exhaust rocker arms.
Lubricating the rocker arm bushings, oil flows down the
rocker arm shafts and exits a pin hole in the outboard side of
each rocker arm housing (F18) where it sprays the valve
springs and the top of the valve stem.
Oil runs down to the low side of the rocker housing and
enters the exhaust valve spring pocket where a drain hole
(G19) leads to a passageway in the cylinder head casting.
Oil exits the bottom of the cylinder head and passes through
a ring dowel (H20) on the “down side” of the cylinder flange.
The oil runs through a vertical passageway in the cylinder,
passes through a second ring dowel on the “down side” of
the cylinder deck (I21) and enters the left crankcase half.
Flowing through a horizontal passageway in the left crankcase half (J22), oil runs through a third ring dowel (K23) to
the right crankcase half where it travels through another passageway before emptying into the cam compartment (B23,
B24).
Oil collecting in the cam compartment is picked up by one of
two scavenge lobes on the oil pump (B25).
Bottom End (Figures 3-6, 3-7, 3-8)
Oil travels down the center passage of the cam support plate
(A26) and sprays out through pin holes on each side of the
casting to lubricate both the primary and secondary cam
chains. Oil also passes through a hole in the crankshaft
bushing where the flow enters a drilling in the crankshaft
(L27).
Oil runs down the center of the crankshaft and then up a
cross drilling into the right side of the flywheel. The flow exits
a drilling in the crank pin bore, enters the crank pin and then
sprays out through three holes to lubricate the lower rod
bearing set.
The oil splash and mist created by the action of the flywheel
lubricates the crankshaft bearing and the camshaft needle
bearings in the right crankcase half. This same action serves
to lubricate the sprocket shaft bearing in the left crankcase
half (M28).
Since the oil mist also lubricates the cylinder walls, three
holes on each side of the piston (in the area of the third ring
land) evacuate excess oil scraped from the walls on the piston downstroke.
The piston jets (N29), which receive a supply of oil from the
intake lifter bores, spray the underside of the piston for cooling of the piston crown and skirt area. A check valve in each
jet opens only when the oil pressure reaches 12-15 psi, at
which point the engine is operating above idle speed. At idle
speeds (9-12 psi), the valve remains closed to prevent over
oiling and to ensure proper system operating pressure.
Oil spray from each piston jet also enters a hole at the bottom
of each pin boss (O30) for lubrication of the piston pin.
Another hole at the top of the connecting rod (D31) allows a
portion of the oil to reach the upper rod bushing.
Surplus oil falls back to the bottom of the flywheel compartment where it collects in the sump area (P32). Oil in the
sump is drawn to the cam compartment through an internal
channel (P33, C34) that connects with the second scavenge
lobe of the oil pump (B35).
Oil Return (Figures 3-6, 3-8)
The “dual kidney” designation given to the oil pump refers to
its two scavenging functions, whereby it simultaneously
draws oil from both the cam and flywheel compartments.
Oil sucked up by the scavenge lobes passes through the
scavenge gerotors of the oil pump and is directed through a
return channel in the cam support plate (A36). See OIL
PUMP OPERATION.
Exiting a hole on the inboard side of the cam support plate,
the oil enters a hole in the crankcase flange (B37).
The oil flows through a passageway in the crankcase and
exits the upper fitting at the rear right side of the crankcase
(A38). Passing through a flexible hose connection, the flow of
oil runs through a passageway at the front of the transmission housing (Q39) before emptying into the oil pan at the
front of the baffle (R40).
The oil flows to the rear of the oil pan along each side of the
baffle. Spring tension holds the unit tight against the bottom
of the pan to prevent oil from entering or escaping around the
perimeter of the baffle. At the back of the oil pan, the oil
enters the open side of the baffle where it is redirected forward. The baffle plates slow the circulation of the oil through
the pan to enhance cooling.
Oil pickup occurs in the front compartment of the baffle
where a passageway in the casting (S41) directs the flow
upward. Passing through a second passageway in the transmission housing (Q42), the flow of oil enters the flexible hose
connection (A1) to repeat the circuit.
Also note that a third flexible hose clamped to a fitting behind
the rear lifter cover connects the cam compartment with the
oil filler spout. This crankcase breather connection provides
the pressure balance necessary for oil circulation.
Oil Pump Operation
The oil pump consists of a housing containing two gerotor
gear sets, one feed and the other scavenge. Driven by the
crankshaft, the feed gerotor set distributes oil to the engine,
while the scavenge gerotor set draws oil from the cam and
flywheel compartments and returns it to the oil pan.
