Harley Davidson Sportster Models 2009. Service Repair Manual — page 1

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

GENERAL

This Service Manual 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 pro-
fessional Harley-Davidson Technician the latest field-tested
and factory-approved major repair methods. We sincerely
believe that this Service Manual will make your association
with Harley-Davidson products more pleasant and profitable.

Use the TABLE OF CONTENTS (which follows this FORE-
WORD) 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.

For example, a cross-reference shown as 2.1 SPECIFICA-
TIONS
refers to chapter 2 CHASSIS, heading 2.1 SPECIFIC-
ATIONS.

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.

A number of acronyms and abbreviations are used in this
document. See the

E.1 GLOSSARY

for a list of acronyms,

abbreviations and definitions.

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 rel-
ative 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 Harley-Dav-
idson 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 II to
disable the security system while the vehicle is being ser-
viced and re-enable the system after service is completed.

SERVICE BULLETINS

In addition to the information presented in this Service Manual,
Harley-Davidson 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 Harley-
Davidson 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.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

Statements in this service manual preceded by the following
words are of special significance.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury. (00119a)

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury. (00139a)

CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates
a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in property damage. (00140a)

NOTE

Refers to important information, and is placed in italic type. It
is recommended that you take special notice of these items.

Proper service and repair is important for the safe, reliable
operation of all mechanical products. The service procedures
recommended and described in this service manual are
effective methods for performing service operations.

Always wear proper eye protection when using hammers,
arbor or hydraulic presses, gear pullers, spring com-
pressors, slide hammers and similar tools. Flying parts
could result in death or serious injury. (00496b)

Some of these service operations require the use of tools
specially designed for the purpose. These special tools should
be used when and as recommended. It is important to note
that some warnings against the use of specific service methods,
which could damage the motorcycle or render it unsafe, are
stated in this service manual. However, please remember that
these warnings are not all-inclusive. Inadequate safety precau-
tions could result in death or serious injury.

Since Harley-Davidson could not possibly know, evaluate or
advise the service trade of all possible ways in which service
might be performed, or of the possible hazardous con-
sequences of each method, we have not undertaken any such
broad evaluation. Accordingly, anyone who uses a service
procedure or tool which is not recommended by Harley-Dav-
idson must first thoroughly satisfy himself that neither his nor
the operator's safety will be jeopardized as a result. Failure to
do so could result in death or serious injury.

PRODUCT REFERENCES

Read and follow warnings and directions on all products.
Failure to follow warnings and directions can result in
death or serious injury. (00470b)

When reference is made in this manual to a specific brand
name product, tool or instrument, an equivalent product, tool
or instrument may be substituted.

All tools mentioned in this manual with an "HD", "J" or "B"
preface must be ordered through SPX Kent-Moore. For ordering

REAR BRAKE CALIPER: XR MODELS

REMOVAL

NOTE

If only replacing brake pads, do not remove rear brake caliper.
For brake pad replacement only, see

1.10 BRAKE PADS AND

DISCS: XR MODELS

.

Direct contact of D.O.T. 4 brake fluid with eyes can cause
irritation. Avoid eye contact. In case of eye contact flush
with large amounts of water and get medical attention.
Swallowing large amounts of D.O.T. 4 brake fluid can cause
digestive discomfort. If swallowed, obtain medical atten-
tion. Use in well ventilated area. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN. (00240a)

NOTE

Damaged banjo bolt surfaces will leak when reassembled.
Prevent damage to seating surfaces by carefully removing
brake line components.

D.O.T. 4 brake fluid will damage painted and body panel
surfaces it comes in contact with. Always use caution and
protect surfaces from spills whenever brake work is per-
formed. Failure to comply can result in cosmetic damage.
(00239b)

NOTES

If D.O.T. 4 brake fluid contacts painted surfaces, IMMEDI-
ATELY flush area with clear water.

1.

Position vehicle upright on a suitable lift.

2.

Place a suitable container under the rear caliper brake
line banjo fitting to catch any brake fluid that may leak out.
Do not reuse brake fluid.

3.

Disconnect left shock absorber from rear fork and rotate
shock absorber out of the way.

4.

Loosen rear axle nut and turn adjuster nuts to allow the
rear wheel to move forward to the adjustment limit.

See

Figure 2-138

. Install a discarded brake pad (1) in the

caliper with the backing plate facing the piston. Position
the brake pad so the friction material is against the back
of the caliper, as shown.

5.

Loosely install brake pad pin (2) to hold brake pad in place.

Compressed air can pierce the skin and flying debris from
compressed air could cause serious eye injury. Wear
safety glasses when working with compressed air. Never
use your hand to check for air leaks or to determine air
flow rates. (00061a)

When removing piston with compressed air, piston can
develop considerable force and fly out of caliper bore.
Keep hands away from piston to avoid possible injury.
(00530b)

NOTE

Be careful not to damage banjo bolt sealing surface or threads
of banjo bolt hole in brake caliper. It is recommended that you
use an air nozzle with a rubber tip to perform the next step in
this procedure.

6.

Gently apply low pressure compressed air to banjo bolt
