TIRES2.3
GENERAL
The rear tire on FL police 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 following warning appears on a label fitted to the rear fender approximately 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) behind
the domestic seat mounting hole.
11WARNING1WARNING
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 your local Harley-Davidson dealer for the proper replacement tires. Failure to follow this warning could cause tire failure which could
result in death or serious injury. (00096a)

NOTE
Use the tires recommended for civilian/pleasure vehicles of
the same year and model family.
The Dunlop front and rear tires on Harley-Davidson
motorcycles are not interchangeable. DO NOT put a front
tire at the rear of the vehicle or a rear tire at the front.
Improper placement of tires can adversely affect motorcycle stability and handling, which may lead to loss of
vehicle control resulting in death or serious injury.

OPERATION
CAUTION
Maximum seat air pressure is 100 psi (689 kPa). Normal
air pressure is between 30-45 psi (207-310 kPa). Minimum
air pressure is determined by rider weight. Do not operate with pressure so low that system bottoms out on
bumpy roads. (00167a)
NOTE
To 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.
