Displacement Common:
1449cc (88 cubic inches)
Bore X Stroke Common:
3.75 in x 4.00 in (95.25 mm x 101.6 mm)
Compression Ratio Common:
8.8:1 (typical)
Horsepower Estimated:
Approx. 65-75 HP (varies by specific model year and tuning)
Torque Estimated:
Approx. 85-95 lb-ft (varies by specific model year and tuning)

Keihin CV Carburetor or Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) depending on year.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline, minimum 91 octane recommended.
Type:
5-speed constant mesh, sequential manual
Clutch Type:
Wet, multi-plate, hydraulically actuated
Gear Ratios Typical:
Varies, but typically includes a lower first gear for acceleration and higher gears for highway cruising. (Specific ratios are detailed in the manual.)
Lubricant Type Typical:
Harley-Davidson Formula+ Transmission and Primary Chaincase Lubricant or equivalent.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 2,500-5,000 miles or annually, per manual specifications. (Manual will provide exact intervals.)
Primary Chain Tensioner Check:
Regular inspection recommended, especially for earlier models with spring-loaded tensioners. (Hydraulic tensioners introduced later.)
Spark Plug Replacement:
Typically every 10,000-15,000 miles. (Manual will specify recommended type and interval.)
Engine Oil Type:
Harley-Davidson Genuine V-Twin 20W-50 or equivalent SAE 50 motorcycle oil (for air-cooled V-twins).
Primary Chaincase Oil Type:
Harley-Davidson Formula+ Transmission and Primary Chaincase Lubricant or equivalent.
Transmission Oil Type:
Harley-Davidson Formula+ Transmission and Primary Chaincase Lubricant or equivalent.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid.
Primary Chain Tensioner:
Early models used a spring-loaded tensioner that could wear out, leading to noise and potential damage. Later models (from 2007 onwards) and aftermarket upgrades use hydraulic tensioners.
Cam Chain Tensioners:
Similar to primary chain tensioners, the cam chain tensioners can also wear, particularly on Twin Cam engines (which replaced the Evolution engine in some Harley models after 2000, though this manual specifically covers Evolution-based Dyna models).
Carburetor Performance:
CV carburetors can sometimes require adjustment or cleaning for optimal performance.
Charging System:
While generally robust, stator or regulator/rectifier failures can occur, impacting battery charging.
Harley Davidson Legacy:
Harley-Davidson is an iconic American motorcycle manufacturer with a rich history dating back to 1903, known for its V-twin engines and distinctive styling.
Dyna Platform:
The Dyna platform, introduced in 1991, featured a rigid-mounted, counter-balanced V-twin engine and a more modern chassis compared to earlier Big Twin models, emphasizing performance and handling.
Fxdx Specifics:
The FXDX variant (Dyna Super Glide Sport) was designed with sportier intentions, often featuring dual front disc brakes (on some models/years), adjustable suspension, and a more aggressive riding posture compared to other Dyna models.
Production Period:
1999-2005 model years represent a specific iteration of the FXDX within the Dyna family.
Harley Davidson Reputation:
Harley-Davidson motorcycles are renowned for their distinctive character, sound, and cultural significance, consistently earning a loyal following.
Model Segment Performance:
The FXDX was well-regarded in its segment for offering a sportier ride and better handling than many other cruiser-style motorcycles of its era.
