Tire Specifications:

Specific tire sizes and types vary by model, but are designed for optimal grip and handling.

💡 Technology Features

Audio System:

Optional premium audio systems available on some models, often featuring analog gauges with integrated digital displays. Specific infotainment features are generally limited compared to modern touring bikes.

Instrumentation:

Typically includes analog speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, and indicator lamps. Some models feature a digital odometer, trip meter, and gear indicator within the analog display.

ABS:

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was available as an option on most 2017 Dyna models.

Diagnostic Ports:

Diagnostic connectors (e.g., 4-pin interface) are present for use with Harley-Davidson diagnostic tools (e.g., Digital Technician).

🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval:

Typically every 5,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Consult specific model service manual for precise intervals.

Primary Chain Tensioner Inspection:

Recommended inspection at 1,000 miles and then every 10,000 miles thereafter (critical for Twin Cam engines).

Spark Plug Replacement:

Typically every 10,000-15,000 miles.

Brake Fluid Flush:

Every two years, regardless of mileage.

Engine Oil Type:

Harley-Davidson recommends their proprietary SYN3 (Synthetic) or a high-quality 20W-50 synthetic motorcycle oil meeting Harley-Davidson specification.

Engine Oil Capacity:

Typically 4 quarts (3.8 L) with filter change.

Primary Chain Case Oil Type:

Harley-Davidson primary fluid or SAE 15W-50 SYN3. Do not use engine oil.

Primary Chain Case Oil Capacity:

Approximately 1 quart (0.95 L).

Transmission Oil Type:

Harley-Davidson transmission fluid or SAE 80W-90 gear oil (or SYN3 for both primary and transmission depending on preference and specific model year recommendations).

Transmission Oil Capacity:

Approximately 20 oz (0.59 L).

Brake Fluid Type:

DOT 4, preferably Harley-Davidson branded.

Shock ABSorber Fluid Type:

Specific hydraulic fluid; consult service manual for exact type and quantity for fork oil.

Primary Chain Tensioner Wear:

The automatic primary chain tensioner in Twin Cam engines can wear, leading to noise and potential damage if not addressed. Early detection and replacement with upgraded components (e.g., hydraulic tensioner) are recommended.

Cam Chain Tensioner Wear:

Similar to the primary tensioner, the cam chain tensioners (inner and outer) can wear, causing noise and potential engine damage. These are particularly critical and often require engine disassembly for replacement.

Oil Leaks:

Common areas for minor oil leaks include primary and transmission seals, rocker box gaskets, and crankcase seals. Regular inspection is key.

Idle Roughness:

Some Twin Cam engines can exhibit a characteristic 'lumpy' idle, which is normal. However, excessive roughness might indicate issues with throttle body, sensors, or fuel delivery.

Battery Health:

Regular battery maintenance and testing are essential, especially for motorcycles stored for extended periods. A failing battery can cause various electrical gremlins.
