ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
For throttle and idle cable adjustment or replacement on
cruise equipped models, see Section 8.30 CRUISE CON-
TROL (FLHRC, FLTR, FLHTCU).
The throttle control must operate freely without binding. With
the tension adjuster screw backed off, the throttle control grip
must freely return to the closed (idle) position. The throttle
control also must open and close freely when the front wheel
is turned to both the right and left fork stops. If the throttle
grip does not return to the idle position freely, check the
adjuster screw tension. If the adjuster screw is backed off,
inspect the cables for short bends.
11WARNING1WARNING
Do not overtighten the tension adjuster screw. An overtightened screw will prevent the engine from automatically returning to idle in an emergency situation. This
can lead to loss of vehicle control, which could result in
death or serious injury.

idle cable adjuster.
2. Point the front wheel straight ahead. Turn the throttle
control grip so that the throttle is wide open (fully counterclockwise) and then hold in position. Now turn the
throttle cable adjuster counter-clockwise until the throttle
cam stop just touches the stop plate. See Figure 2-107.
Release the throttle control grip and then tighten the jam
nut against the throttle cable adjuster. Cover cable
adjuster mechanism with rubber boot.
3. Turn the front wheel full right. Turn the idle cable adjuster
counterclockwise until the cable housing just touches
the spring in the cable guide (as seen through slot).

1. Install footrest bracket. See PASSENGER FOOTREST
(FLHRS), INSTALLATION, in this section.
2. With concave side up and flat edge facing opposite the
footrest, align hole in wave spring with topside hole in
footrest.
3. Place footrest with wave spring between arms of bracket
and install pivot pin. Hole in bracket is countersunk to
accommodate head of pivot pin.
NOTE
Verify operation of footrest before installing retaining ring.
The ease with which the footrest pivots is based on the curvature of the wave spring. Flattening the wave spring allows
the footrest to move more easily, while increasing the curvature makes movement more difficult.
4. Install new retaining ring in groove at end of pivot pin.
5. Place new pad into footrest.
6. Apply a small dab of Loctite Medium Strength Threadlocker 243 (blue) to threads of socket screw. Install
socket screw and tighten to 15-20 ft-lbs (20-27 Nm).

REMOVAL
1. Remove saddlebags. See Section 2.25 SADDLEBAG,
REMOVAL.
2. See Figure 2-192. Open worm drive clamps to remove
six heat shields from exhaust pipes. Mark the location of
the heat shields to ensure proper assembly.
3. Using a bungee cord, tie the muffler on the left side of
the vehicle to the lower saddlebag support rail.
4. Remove the exhaust flange nuts to release the front and
rear header pipes from the cylinder head studs. For best
results, use impact wrench with long 1/2 inch swivel
socket.
5. See Figure 2-191. Loosen the four TORCA clamps as
follows:
Right side of vehicle
●front header pipe to rear header pipe
●rear header pipe to right side muffler
Left side of vehicle
●rear header pipe to crossover pipe
●crossover pipe to left side muffer
NOTE
To facilitate removal, spray PB Blaster or other suitable penetrating oil in and around joints of exhaust pipes. For best
results, be sure to allow sufficient time for the penetrating oil
to work.
6. Remove four bolts (with lockwashers) to detach left and
right side mufflers from the lower saddlebag support
rails.
7. Standing on right side of vehicle, remove muffler from Y-
shaped rear header pipe.
8. Remove Keps nut and pull bracket tab and stud from
slots in TORCA clamp and exhaust support bracket.
9. Remove Y-shaped rear header pipe from front header
pipe, crossover pipe (to left side muffler) and rear cylinder head. Remove bracket tab from slot in TORCA
clamp.
10. Remove bolt (with flat washer and locknut) from trans-
mission exhaust bracket clamp on front header pipe.
Use a channel lock to open clamp and then remove from
header pipe and transmission exhaust bracket. Remove
front header pipe exhaust flange from front cylinder
head.
11. Moving to left side of vehicle, remove crossover pipe
from left side muffler.
12. Remove bungee cord to release left side muffler from
lower saddlebag support rail.
13. Remove and discard gaskets from front and rear
exhaust ports. Discard TORCA clamp bolt assembliesone time usage only.
NOTE
TORCA muffler clamps have eliminated the need for silicone
or graphite tape during assembly. To ensure sealing integrity
of muffler clamps and prevent the possibility of leakage, Harley-Davidson recommends that muffler clamp assemblies be
discarded and replaced each time they are removed.
INSTALLATION
NOTE
Always loosely assemble exhaust system on vehicle before
following tightening procedure. Assemble as follows:
1. Install new gaskets in both the front and rear cylinder
head exhaust ports (with the tapered side out).
2. Install transmission exhaust bracket onto transmission
side door, if removed.
3. Install front header pipe exhaust flange onto front cylinder head. Start flange nuts on cylinder head studs.
4. Engaging transmission exhaust bracket, capture front
header pipe in transmission exhaust bracket clamp. Use
a channel lock to close clamp, if necessary. Finger
tighten clamp bolt (with flat washer and locknut).
5. Slide a new TORCA clamp onto free end of front header
pipe.
6. Install rear header pipe onto rear cylinder head and front
header pipe. Start flange nuts on cylinder head studs.
Move TORCA clamp into position between front and rear
header pipes.
7. Slide new TORCA clamps onto free ends of rear header
pipe. TORCA clamp to crossover pipe is special in that it
has slot for bracket tab to exhaust support bracket.
8. Slide right side muffler onto rear header pipe. Finger
tighten two bolts (with lockwashers) to attach muffler to
lower saddlebag support rail. Place TORCA clamp into
position between rear header pipe and right side muffler.
9. Moving to left side of vehicle, install crossover pipe onto
remaining end of rear header pipe (above starter). Place
TORCA clamp into position between rear header pipe
and crossover pipe.
10. Fit bracket tab into slot of TORCA clamp engaging stud
in slot of exhaust support bracket. Start Keps nut on
stud.
11. Slide new TORCA clamp onto free end of crossover
pipe.
12. Using a bungee cord, tie left side muffler to lower saddlebag support rail. Install left side muffler on crossover
pipe. Place TORCA clamp into position between crossover pipe and left side muffler. Finger tighten bolts to
attach muffler to saddlebag support rail.

CAUTION
Verify that the exhaust pipes do not contact the vehicle
frame or any mounted components. Contact will cancel
the effect of the rubber isolation mounts and transmit
vibration to the rider via the vehicle frame.
13. Tighten the exhaust system as follows:
a. Tighten the top nut of the front cylinder head
exhaust flange to 9-18 in-lbs (1-2 Nm). Tighten the
bottom nut to 100-120 in-lbs (11.3-13.6 Nm). Final
tighten the top nut to 100-120 in-lbs (11.3-13.6
Nm).
