2002 Harley Davidson FXST Softail Standard Questions & Answers
Hazards flash 6 times, bike wont start
Your anti theft system is activating when it flashes. You need to push the button on your key fob to disarm it. When you do the flashers should flash once or twice to signal that it is armed/disarmed. If it does not, try replacing your battery in your fob. or use the anti theft codes with your ignition switch and turn signal buttons. Check your users manual to do that.

I wouldn't recommend jumping at the starter. check your syl. switch to see if the fire is going threw and the switch on your handle bars .

Has there been issue with 30 amp curcuit breaker needing to be changed to 40 amp on 2002 FXST
Main circuit breakers were a problem on the older bikes, problem being when over heated the would pop and you would lose all power to the bike. Now if you bike is dying and you still have power and are able to crank it but it wont start, then I'd be looking at you CPS not the main breaker. One way to tell if it's CPS is to remove it when bike doesn't start. Wipe all the oil off, take a can of compressed air blow it on the CPS to cool it down, put back in bike and start it, If it starts then the sensor is bad.
How do you check the transmission fluid on my 2002 Softail
Unscrew the trans dipstick. It is on the right side of the bike, on the trans cover (where the clutch cable goes in) and has an allen head on it. Stand the bike upright and level. Insert the dipstick until it sits on top of the threads, don't screw it in. Pull it out and make sure the oil level is between the add and full marks.
2002 fxst softail headlight fuse blowing
Had the same problem on my 2003 years ago, and corrected the issue by replacing the wires in the headlight shroud and the connection plug. (Wires were somewhat fried for some reason, and were reducing voltage at the terminals, causing a high current condition.
2002 FATBOY, AFTER SITTING A WEEK, CHANGED OIL AND
The Oil Capacity is 3.5 qts. (3.3 L) are you sure you pulled the right drain plug, and drained the ENGINE oil? The engine oil drain hex bolt is located on the right side of the motorcycle and is removed/installed horizontally.
Transmission oil drain hex bolt is located on the left side of the motorcycle and is removed/installed vertically.
2002 harley softtail;oil cap poping
You got one of those fancy spring loaded caps? If you do then it's gonna "pop off" if you don't get it fully tightened...Just when you THINK it's tight, you need another 1/4 round to fully seat it. Seen these caps blow off lots of times. Oily pants caused a few bikes to get traded in even, lol.
Don't forget, oil expands, and most everyone i know runs their oil level 1/2-1 inch low on a cold engine...the older glides with the horseshoe tank always gain oil after you ride a few miles.
I hope this helps.
