TURN SIGNAL MODULE AND

TURN SIGNAL/SECURITY MODULE

143

(2001-ON MODELS)

The turn signal module (TSM) module is an

electronic microprocessor that controls the turn

signals, the four-way hazard flasher and the bank

angle sensor. The turn signal module receives its

information from the speedometer and turn signal

switches. On models so equipped, the security sys-

tem is also included in the TSSM. This TSSM has a

different part number and is not interchangeable

with the TSM.

listed in Table 1. Refer to Figure 151 for fuse loca-

tion on the panel.

All fuses are located on a single panel within the

electrical panel. If there is an electrical failure, first

check for a blown fuse. A blown fuse will have a

break in the element (Figure 152).

Whenever the fuse blows, find out the reason for

the failure before replacing the fuse. Usually, the

trouble is a short circuit in the wiring. This may be

caused by worn-through insulation or a discon-

nected wire shorted to ground. Check the circuit the

fuse protects.

Whenever a failure occurs in any part of the

electrical system, the circuit breaker is

self-resetting and will automatically return power

to the circuit when the electrical fault is found and

corrected.

CAUTION

If the electrical fault is not found and

corrected, the circuit breaker will cycle

on and off continuously. This will cause

the motorcycle to run erratically.

WHEELS, HUBS AND TIRES

This chapter describes disassembly and repair of

the front and rear wheels, hubs and tire service. For

1

routine maintenance, see Chapter Three.

Tables 1-3 are at the end of the chapter.

MOTORCYCLE STANDS

Many procedures in this chapter require that the

front or rear wheel be lifted off the ground. To do

this, a quality motorcycle front end stand (Figure

1), swing arm stand, or suitable size jack is required.

Before purchasing or using a stand, check the man-

ufacturer’s instructions to make sure the stand will

work with the Dyna Glide model being worked on.

If any adjustments or accessories are required for

the motorcycle and/or stand, perform the necessary

adjustments or install the correct parts before lifting

have an assistant standing by to help. Some means

to tie down one end of the motorcycle may also be

required. After lifting the motorcycle on a stand,

make sure the motorcycle is properly supported be-

fore walking away from it.

FRONT WHEEL

Removal

9

1. Support the motorcycle with the front wheel off

the ground. See Motorcycle Stands in this chapter.

4

NOTE

On models with dual front calipers,

both calipers must be removed to re-

move the front wheel.

2A. On 1999 models, remove the caliper mounting

bolts (Figure 2) and remove the caliper(s) as de-

scribed in Chapter Twelve.

2B. On 2000-on models, remove the caliper mount-

ing bolts (Figure 3) and remove the caliper(s) as de-

scribed in Chapter Twelve.

NOTE

Place a plastic or wooden spacer be-

5

tween the brake pads in place of the

disc. Then, if the brake pedal is inad-

vertently depressed, the pistons will

not be forced out of the caliper. If this

occurs, disassemble the caliper to re-

seat the pistons.

3. On the left side, remove the axle nut (Figure 4),

lockwasher and flat washer (Figure 5).

4A. On all models except FXDWG, loosen the front

axle pinch bolt (A, Figure 6).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

378

CHAPTER NINE

4B. On FXDWG models, loosen the nuts on the

fork slider cap.

7

NOTE

On some models, the wheel spacers

are different. Identify the spacers be-

fore removing them.

5. Prior to removing the front axle, note the loca-

tion of the right side spacer (Figure 7) and left side

spacer (Figure 8). The spacer must be reinstalled on

the correct side during installation.

6. Insert a drift or screwdriver into the hole (Figure

9) in the end of the front axle (B, Figure 6). With-

draw the front axle from the fork sliders and front

8

wheel. Remove the tool from the axle.

7. Pull the wheel away from the fork sliders and re-

move it.

CAUTION

Do not set the wheel down on the

brake disc surface, as it may be dam-

aged.

8. Inspect the front wheel assembly as described in

this chapter.

Installation

9

1. Clean the axle in solvent and dry thoroughly.

Make sure the axle bearing surfaces on both fork

sliders and the axle are free of burrs and nicks.

2. Apply an antiseize lubricant to the axle shaft

prior to installation.

3. If the oil seals or bearings were replaced, con-

firm front axle spacer alignment as described under

Front Hub in this chapter.

4. Install the left side and right side axle spacers in

the wheel. The left side axle spacer is longer than

the right side spacer.

5. Install the wheel between the fork sliders and in-

10

stall the axle from the right side (Figure 9).

6. Check that axle spacers are installed correctly.

Refer to Figure 7 for the right side and to Figure 8

for the left side.

7. Install the flat washer, lockwasher (Figure 5)

and axle nut (Figure 4) finger-tight. Check that axle

spacers are installed correctly.

8A. On all models except FXDWG, tighten the front

axle pinch bolt (A, Figure 6) to the specification in

Table 2.

8B. On FXDWG models, tighten the nuts on the

11

Axial

fork slider cap to the specification in Table 2.

9. Insert a drift or screwdriver into the hole (Figure

9) in the end of the front axle (B, Figure 6) to keep it

from rotating.

10. Tighten the front axle nut (Figure 4) to the

specification in Table 2.

11. Remove the tool used in Step 8 from the front

axle.

12. Check that the front wheel is centered between

the fork sliders. If not, check the position of the left

and right axle spacers.

13. On 1999 models, perform the Front Wheel

Radial

Bearing End Play Check in this chapter.

14. Install the front brake caliper(s) as described in

Chapter Twelve.

15. With the front wheel off the ground, rotate it

several times and apply the front brake to seat the

brake pads against the disc(s).

16. Remove the stand and lower the front wheel

onto the ground.

Inspection

Replace any worn or damaged parts as described

12

in this section.

1. On 1999 models, inspect the oil seals (Figure

10) for excessive wear, hardness, cracks or other

damage. If necessary, replace the seals as described

under Front and Rear Hubs in this chapter.

2. Turn each bearing inner race by hand. The bear-

ing must turn smoothly. Some axial play (end play)

is normal, but radial play (side play) must be negli-

gible. See Figure 11. If one bearing is damaged, re-

place both bearings as a set. Refer to Front and Rear

Hubs in this chapter.

3. Clean the axle and axle spacers in solvent to re-

move all grease and dirt. Make sure the axle contact

13

surfaces are clean and free of dirt and old grease.

4. Check the axle runout with a set of V-blocks and

dial indicator (Figure 12).

5. Check the spacers for wear, burrs and damage.

Replace as necessary.

6. Check the brake disc bolts (Figure 13) for tight-

ness. To service the brake disc, refer to Chapter

Twelve.

7. Check wheel runout and spoke tension as de-

scribed in this chapter.
