Engine Type:
Air-cooled V-Twin (specific displacement varies by model variant but typically 88 cubic inches or 1450cc for this generation of Softail)
Torque Figures:
Refer to specific model sections within the manual for precise torque specifications for various components and fasteners.
Horsepower:
Typical horsepower figures for the 88 cubic inch engine are in the range of 60-70 HP, though this can vary based on specific tuning and model.
Fuel Delivery:
Carbureted (Keihin CV) or Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) depending on the specific model variant (e.g., FLSTF vs. FLSTFI).
Displacement:
Typically 88 cubic inches (1450cc) for standard models. The FXSTDSE2 Screamin Eagle Deuce may feature a larger displacement engine (e.g., 95 cubic inches / 1550cc).
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 2,500 to 5,000 miles (4,000 to 8,000 km) or annually, depending on usage and oil type. Refer to manual for exact intervals.
Primary Oil Change:
Recommended at similar intervals to engine oil changes. Primary oil lubricates the clutch and transmission gears.
Engine Oil Viscosity:
Commonly 20W-50 or 10W-40 for air-cooled V-twins. Specific API classification and Harley-Davidson approval recommended. Refer to manual for precise specifications.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 4 recommended for hydraulic brake systems.
Transmission Oil:
Harley-Davidson transmission oil or equivalent with appropriate viscosity rating (e.g., SAE 90 gear oil). Refer to manual for exact specifications and capacity.
Primary Oil Type:
Harley-Davidson primary chaincase lubricant or equivalent. Refer to manual for specific type and capacity.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, wheel bearings, front fork seals, brake pads, and potential starter drive issues are common wear items on motorcycles of this era.
Efi Troubleshooting:
Specific EFI models may encounter issues related to fuel pump, injectors, sensors (e.g., O2 sensor, throttle position sensor), or ECU diagnostics. The manual provides detailed troubleshooting for these.
Carburetor Tuning:
Carbureted models may require periodic tuning, adjustment of idle speed, and main/pilot jet cleaning or replacement for optimal performance and emissions.
Foundation:
Harley-Davidson Motor Company, founded in 1903, is an iconic American motorcycle manufacturer with a rich history of performance and customization.
Softail Lineage:
The Softail platform, introduced in 1984, is known for its classic styling, mimicking the look of a hardtail frame while incorporating hidden rear suspension for improved ride comfort.
Softail Characteristics:
The Softail's signature feature is its hidden rear shock absorbers, contributing to its rigid, classic look while providing a comfortable ride.
Manufacturing Location:
Assembly typically took place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.
