Engine Type:
Likely Twin Cam 103 or similar V-twin engine configurations common in Harley-Davidson police models of this era. Specific engine variant would depend on the base model it's derived from (e.g., Electra Glide Police, Road King Police).
Horsepower:
Specific horsepower figures for 2013 police models would align with the standard touring models of the year, typically in the 70-80 HP range, tuned for durability and torque.
Torque:
Torque figures typically in the 95-100 lb-ft range, optimized for a wide usable powerband essential for police duties.
Fuel Delivery:
Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI).
Cooling Method:
Air-cooled with oil cooling (e.g., oil cooler integrated into the oil lines).
Wheelbase:
Varies by police model configuration (e.g., Electra Glide Police, Road King Police), typically around 64.4 inches (1636 mm).
Dry Weight:
Varies by police model configuration, typically in the range of 800-850 lbs (363-385 kg).
Crash Test Ratings:
Motorcycles are not typically subjected to standardized crash test ratings like automobiles. Safety features focus on rider control and vehicle stability.
Braking System:
Advanced braking systems, often including integrated front and rear braking, and potentially ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) as an option or standard on police variants.
Lighting:
Enhanced lighting systems for improved visibility, including auxiliary spotlights and brighter headlights, typical for police motorcycles.
Audio System:
Police models may feature integrated audio systems, typically with CB radio, intercom, and AM/FM/Weatherband capabilities, often designed for rugged use.
ABS:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) availability as standard or optional on police models, enhancing braking control.
Diagnostic Ports:
Includes information on accessing the vehicle's diagnostic system through specific ports, facilitating the use of advanced diagnostic tools.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 5,000 miles or annually, with specific guidance provided in the manual.
Primary Chain Tensioner Inspection:
Crucial inspection at specific mileage intervals (e.g., 10,000 miles) as per Harley-Davidson recommendations for Twin Cam engines.
Engine Oil:
Harley-Davidson recommends its own SYN3 (Synthetic 3) SAE 20W50 or other API approved SAE 20W50 motorcycle oil. Specific capacities are detailed in the manual.
Transmission Fluid:
Harley-Davidson Formula + Transmission and Primary Chaincase Lubricant or equivalent.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 brake fluid.
Primary Chain Tensioner Wear:
A well-documented potential issue on Twin Cam engines, requiring periodic inspection and replacement to prevent catastrophic failure. The manual provides detailed guidance on this.
Cam Chain Tensioner Wear:
Similar to primary chain tensioners, internal cam chain tensioners can also wear, leading to noise and potential damage. The manual addresses inspection and replacement.
Legacy:
Harley-Davidson has a long-standing tradition of supplying motorcycles to law enforcement agencies worldwide, dating back to the early 20th century.
Police Model Development:
Police models are typically based on standard Harley-Davidson touring platforms (e.g., FLHTP Electra Glide Police, FLHP Road King Police) and feature specialized equipment and reinforcements for law enforcement duties.
