The rider may clear the text messages at any time by pressing the function switch once while the
vehicle is powered up.
NOTE:
If the operation of raising the jiffy stand and putting the transmission in gear is rapidly executed,
the jiffy stand bouncing off the frame could cause the jiffy stand interlock system to activate and
stop the engine.
Rear View Mirrors
Objects in mirrors are closer than they appear. Use caution when judging
distance of objects in mirrors. Failure to judge correct distances could result in
death or serious injury. (00033a)
Your vehicle is equipped with two convex rear view mirrors.
This type of mirror is designed to give a much wider view to the rear than a flat mirror. However,
cars and other objects seen in this type of mirror will look smaller and farther away than they
actually are.
Use caution when judging the size or relative distance of objects seen in rear view mirrors.
Always adjust the rear view mirrors to clearly reflect the area behind the motorcycle before
riding.
NOTE:
Adjust mirrors so you can see a small portion of your shoulders in each mirror. This will help you
establish the relative distance of vehicles to the rear of your motorcycle.
Fuel Filler Cap: Touring Models
To open, turn fuel filler cap counterclockwise and lift up. To close, turn fuel filler cap clockwise until
it clicks. The ratchet action of the cap prevents overtightening.
Remove the fuel filler cap slowly. Fill fuel tank slowly to prevent fuel spillage. Do not fill above the
bottom of the filler neck insert. Leave enough air space to allow for fuel expansion. Expansion can
cause an overfilled tank to overflow fuel through the filler cap vent onto surrounding areas. After
refueling, be sure filler cap is securely tightened. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive. Inadequate safety precautions could result in death or serious injury.
NOTES:
FLHT/FLTR model fuel filler cap is located beneath a door and have a ratchet action. The fuel
filler cap should be fully closed before closing the fuel door.
Fuel filler cap turns approximately a 3/4 turn before it starts unscrewing.
See Fuel Tank: FLHR. FLHR model fuel filler cap is located on the right side of the fuel
tank. The cap on the left side is the fuel gauge and is not removable.
See SAFE OPERATING RULES and review safety procedures listed below.

Fuel Tank: FLHR
Do not spill fuel onto the motorcycle while refueling. Immediately wipe up fuel
spills on your motorcycle. Fuel can cause damage to cosmetic surfaces.
(00147b)
Use only unleaded fuel in catalytic converter-equipped motorcycles. Using
leaded fuel will damage the emission control system. (00150b)
Do not store motorcycle with gasoline in tank within the home or garage where
open flames, pilot lights, sparks or electric motors are present. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or
serious injury. (00003a)
Avoid spills. Slowly remove filler cap. Do not fill above bottom of filler neck
insert, leaving air space for fuel expansion. Secure filler cap after refueling.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in
death or serious injury. (00028a)
Do not use aftermarket fuel caps. Aftermarket fuel caps may fit improperly and
leak, which could lead to death or serious injury. See a Harley Davidson dealer
for approved fuel caps. (00034a)
Rear Air Suspension
Page 24 of 33
General
See Rear Air Suspension Air Valve. All models feature air-adjustable rear suspension. Air
pressure in the rear shocks may be adjusted to suit load requirements, riding style and personal
comfort.
For FLHR/C, FLHT/C/U and FLTR models with standard shocks, refer to Standard Rear
Suspension Recommended Air Pressure: FLHR/C, FLHT/C/U and FLTR.
For FLHX models with low profile shocks, refer to Low Profile Rear Suspension
Recommended Air Pressures: FLHX.
NOTE:
These are recommended starting points. Adjust to suit load conditions, riding style and comfort
desired. Less initial pressure does not necessarily result in a softer ride. Using pressures outside the
recommended loading range will result in a reduction of available suspension travel and reduced
rider comfort.

Adjusting Shock Pressure
See Rear Air Suspension Air Valve. To adjust the rear shock air pressure, use an air pump to fill
or release air from the air valve located just below the frame cover on the left side of the vehicle.
Page 25 of 33
Do not exceed maximum air pressure for rear suspension. Air components fill
rapidly. Therefore, use low air line pressure. Failure to do so may result in
possible damage to components. (00165a)
NOTE:
An AIR SUSPENSION PUMP AND GAUGE HD-34633 is available at your Harley Davidson dealer.
Use caution when bleeding air from the suspension. Moisture combined with
lubricant may leak onto the rear wheel, tire and/or brake components and
adversely affect traction, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00084a)
NOTES:
Do not exceed max GVWR or GAWR.
ON FLHX MODELS: Always clear the line by adding 3-5 psi 21-35 kPa before releasing air
from the pump's valve, but do not exceed 50 psi 345 kPa .
ON ALL BUT FLHX MODELS: Always clear the line by adding 3-5 psi 21-35 kPa before
releasing air from the pump's valve, but do not exceed 35 psi 241 kPa .
Rear Air Suspension Air Valve

AM vs FM Reception
Commercial radio broadcasting is either AM (Amplitude Modulation) or FM (Frequency Modulation).
AM
AM radio waves reflect off the ionosphere which results in consistent signal reception at a long range
(up to 100 miles or 160 kilometers).
However, AM radio can be displaced by loud humming, popping and crackling noises. This is
electrical interference caused by noise from vehicle ignitions, electric signs, power lines and
electrical storms.
Page 9 of 29
FM
The advantages of FM radio are high fidelity sound, stereo reception, a wide range of broadcasting
formats, and a signal that is free of electrical interference.
The disadvantage of FM radio is its short range. FM radio waves travel in straight lines, called "line-
of-sight," therefore, FM signals cannot be received over the horizon. At the limit of a station's range,
the reception may fade in and out when objects pass between the transmitter and the motorcycle.
FM Stereo vs FM Mono
See E in FLHX, FLHTC and FLTR LCD Display Examples. Normally, the Advanced Audio System
plays FM signals in stereo. The LCD will indicate STEREO.
However, the stereo receiver has circuits which eliminate or minimize FM flutter due to weak stereo
signals. The circuits detect a weak FM stereo signal and automatically blend it into a stronger FM
mono signal. The transition is smooth and flutter free because it occurs over a range of signal
conditions, rather than at a minimum threshold.
When the system is automatically blending or is receiving an FM mono signal, the stereo indicator
(STEREO) will disappear from LCD screen.
WB
See H in FLHX, FLHTC and FLTR LCD Display Examples. Broadcast by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Band (WB) frequencies are available in North
America only.
To receive NOAA weather alerts while listening to other radio bands, highlight the Alert indicator in
the WB display by pressing the soft key. An alert tone will automatically switch the receiver to the
announcing WB channel regardless of which frequency band is playing.
When equipped with the CB module, use the soft key to highlight the Alert indicator in the LCD
display. Weather alerts are announced over other audio and the Alert indicator is highlighted in the
display.
Tuning-in a Radio Station
The radio has several tuning modes in each of the frequency bands: Manual, Seek, Scan, Preset
Memory and Preset Scan.
Tuning in all three modes continuously wraps around the ends of the band.
Manual Tuning
To manually tune the radio to a different frequency:
Page 10 of 29
Press the Up Arrow button or the Down Arrow button to select the frequency in that direction.
Hold the selected arrow button, and after a short delay of 1.5 seconds, the radio will continue to
change frequencies until the selected arrow button is released.
SEEK Tuning
See E in FLHX, FLHTC and FLTR LCD Display Examples. In SEEK, the radio tunes in to the next
strong station.
Press and release the MODE SEL switch up (UP) to tune in the next strong station upward in the
band. Press and release the switch down (DN) to tune in the next strong station downward in the
band.
NOTE:
The SEEK icon appears in the display as long as the receiver is seeking the next strong frequency.
The SEEK icon disappears as soon as the receiver has tuned in the next station.

Front Headset Socket Cap
VOX Microphones
Page 18 of 29
The Harley Davidson intercom uses a voice-activated (VOX) microphone for hands-free intercom
operation. The headset microphone minimizes the transmission of hand-held microphone generated
noise.
The intercom is activated when a voice or sound exceeds a preset audio level, the voice is said to
"break VOX". The voice or sound is transmitted to the headsets.
NOTE:
Pressing and holding the PTT switch will also open the microphone.
Once VOX is broken, a conversation can proceed uninterrupted. After the absence of sound or voice,
there is a delay of approximately 2 seconds before the microphone is deactivated. This delay in
deactivation allows for pauses in conversation.
Because loud exhausts, passing trucks, car horns or other background sounds may unintentionally
activate the intercom, the sound level necessary to break VOX is adjustable. See Intercom
Operation.
Speaker Controls
