Engine Type:
V-twin, OHV, 45-degree cylinder angle, pushrod actuated valves.
Fuel Delivery:
Fuel Injection (EFI) for most models, likely Harley-Davidson Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI). Carbureted models may exist for FLHR/FLTRI, though less common for this year's touring lineup.
Emission Controls:
Manual covers diagnosis and repair of emission control systems as applicable for the 2001 model year.
Audio System:
Many Touring models featured premium audio systems, often with CB radio and intercom capabilities (e.g., Electra Glide models). Specific features vary by trim.
ABS Availability:
ABS was an option on certain models, providing enhanced braking safety.
Wiring Harnesses Diagnostics:
The electrical manual details complex wiring harnesses and diagnostic connectors for troubleshooting electronic systems, including the engine management system (ECM/ECU).
Initial Service:
Typically recommended at 1,000 miles (1600 km) for initial break-in service, including an oil change and filter replacement.
Routine Maintenance Intervals:
Various intervals, e.g., engine oil and filter every 5,000 miles (8,000 km) or annually, primary chaincase lubrication, spark plug replacement, brake fluid checks.
Engine Oil Type:
Harley-Davidson recommends specific viscosity grades and formulations for their V-twin engines. Consult manual for exact specifications (e.g., SAE 20W-50 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Oil or equivalent).
Primary Chaincase Lubricant:
Specific primary chaincase lubricant (e.g., Harley-Davidson Formula+ or equivalent).
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 4 recommended for most Harley-Davidson models. Verify with manual for specific system requirements.
Transmission Oil Level Check:
