THROTTLE CABLES (NON-CRUISE) 2.21

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.
1. Slide rubber boot off throttle cable adjuster. See Figure
2-106. Holding cable adjuster with a 3/8 inch wrench,
loosen jam nut turning in a clockwise direction. Back jam nut away from cable adjuster until it stops. Turn adjuster clockwise until it contacts jam nut. Repeat procedure on 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). Work the throttle grip to verify that the throttle cable returns to the idle position when released. If the cable does not return to idle, turn the adjuster clockwise slightly until the correct response is achieved. Tighten jam nut against the idle cable adjuster and cover cable adjuster mechanism with rubber boot.

JIFFY STAND 2.34

GENERAL

The vehicle is equipped with a jiffy stand (or side stand) that locks when placed in the full forward position (down) with the full weight of the vehicle resting on it.
11WARNING1WARNING
Without the full weight of the motorcycle resting on the jiffy stand, any vehicle movement can cause the jiffy stand to retract slightly from the full forward position. If the jiffy stand is not in the full forward or lock position when the full vehicle weight is rested on it, the vehicle could fall over, which could result in death or serious injury.
11WARNING1WARNING
Always park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. The weight of the vehicle can cause it to fall over, which could result in death or serious injury.
11WARNING1WARNING
Be sure jiffy stand is fully retracted before riding. If jiffy stand is not fully retracted during vehicle operation, unexpected contact with the road surface can distract the rider. While the jiffy stand will retract upon contact, the momentary disturbance and/or rider distraction can lead to loss of vehicle control resulting in death or seri­ous injury.

PASSENGER FOOTREST (FLHRS)

REMOVAL

1. Remove socket screw with lockwasher to remove foot­rest bracket from rear swingarm bracket.

INSTALLATION

1. Insert pin on footrest bracket into hole in swingarm bracket.
NOTE
Passenger footrests can be adjusted to one of three posi­tions. To move footrests to a new position, remove plastic plugs from holes in rear swingarm bracket as necessary.
2. Install socket screw with lockwasher. Tighten socket screw to 15-18 ft-lbs (20-24 Nm).

DISASSEMBLY

NOTE
If only replacing the rubber pad, refer to step 1 below and then see steps 5-6 under ASSEMBLY.
1. Remove socket screw from end of footrest. Remove rub­ber pad.
2. Remove retaining ring from groove at end of pivot pin. Remove pivot pin.
3. Remove footrest and wave spring from footrest bracket.
4. Remove footrest bracket from rear swingarm bracket. See PASSENGER FOOTREST (FLHRS), REMOVAL, in this section.

ASSEMBLY

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).

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.
