If the bike is losing ALL power, I'm talking about dash lights, headlight, tail light, ALL lights, it's probably something tripping the main breaker. The breaker should be located either under the seat or behind the trianglular panel on the right side of the bike. I'd look for a frayed wire near the starter or around the rear cylinder due to the head in that area.

Good Luck

This is because you need to bleed the back brake system

I am sure the pin sheared, that is why the shifter is not center. Push the shifter back to original position so that the hole would line up( using little force) Knock out sheared pin and replace with new one. Regards Phillip

I all your worried about is the battery, get your self a battery tender to hook up when it is in storage rather then disabling the alarm system.

Disconnect the battery and then the wires on the charger. Drain the transmission (left cover). After that, you can remove the shift lever connection and the clutch cover. Disconnect the clutch cable from the clutch assembly. Now you can remove your complete primary cover. After all that you will want to remove the two screws that hold the starter to the engine. Then simply put everything back in the reverser order using all new gaskets and seals and fill the transmission back up w/the proper amount and weight of oil.

Harley Kickstand Spring It is basically the same stand just turn differently then the one in the video.

Other than adjusting the idle mixture screw the only other thing you can do is change the jets get a high flow air cleaner and performance exhaust.

More than likely it is because there is a lack of enough load with the front ones not connect. You many have to install some kind of load to simulate that they are connected.

Well, everything I looked up on that code says that the P0373 means that the CKP Sensor Intermittent, which basically means that there is a problem with the Crank Position Sensor. Although there have been a lot of people that have said they replaced the sensor and either still come up with the same code or the PO 374 which has something to do with the alignment of the sensor.

The diaphragm petcock operates by vacuum. Sometimes, the vacuum line comes unhooked, cracked or broken. Check the vacuum line. Also, the diaphragm petcock sometimes dies, and needs replacing. The reserve DOESN'T operate by vacuum.

It could be the vehicle speed sensor, the ECM or the TSM/TSSM. The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is powered and monitored by the Electronic Control Module (ECM). The ECM processes the vehicle speed signal and transmits this signal to the turn signal module/turn signal security module (TSM/TSSM) and speedometer through serial data. NOTE The vehicle speed sensor cannot be repaired. Replace the unit if it fails.

Sometimes even new batteries can go bad. Take it to a local auto parts supply store and have then run a check on the battery.

More than likely both. You must first loosen the cable to its loosest setting. Then do the clutch adjustment and then perform the cable adjustment. Follow the procedure in your service manual and if you don't have one get on to save hundreds of dollars in service fees you can then do yourself.

Get a jack made for motorcycles from someplace like Harbor Freight Tools. Put it under the frame, making sure it clears the Jiffy Stand. Jack it up and remove the Jiffy Stand.

If switch requires replacement, the rear muffler and rear exhaust pipe must be removed to remove the transmission sprocket cover. The drive belt and transmission sprocket must also be removed; there is not enough clearance to allow the removal of the switch without first removing the transmission sprocket.

No Harley has only i bolt and nut, What are you talking about????
