Engine Oil Spec:
Harley-Davidson SYN3 (20W-50 Full Synthetic) or equivalent SAE 20W-50 motorcycle oil meeting Harley-Davidson P/N 99824-00.
Transmission Fluid Spec:
Harley-Davidson Formula + (SAE 50/60) or equivalent approved lubricant. Do not use engine oil in the transmission.
Primary Chain Case Fluid Spec:
Harley-Davidson Formula + (SAE 50/60) or equivalent approved lubricant. Do not use engine oil in the primary.
Brake Fluid Spec:
DOT 4 approved brake fluid. Use only fresh, sealed containers. Ensure correct fluid type is used for ABS systems.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch cable wear, primary chain wear, rear brake pad wear, wheel bearings, fork seals.
Engine Considerations:
Potential for oil leaks from seals, valve train noise if not maintained, need for regular carbon buildup cleaning in older models (though 2009 EFI is cleaner).
Electrical Considerations:
Battery health is critical. Loose connections or corroded terminals can cause intermittent electrical issues. Wiring harness integrity should be checked periodically.
