SOURCE: Do I need to remove the rear tire on my 2003

No. Remove the caliper mounting bolts, (put a rag under the brake cylinder at the pedal to catch any fluid pushed out by the next step), depress the pads until they will clear the disc, remove the caliper assembly and replace the pads.

Under the engine on the left side. Trans is on the right. Make sure you replace the "O" ring.

it sounds as if your inner primary is not lined up they do have a tendency to wear slots in the holes where they mount to the tranny and motor

SOURCE: How do you adjust clutch on 2004 Harley Davidson

Get the bike standing as straight up as you can without danger of it falling over. This keeps any oil from running out of the primary. Remove the "derby cover" from the outer primary cover giving you access to the clutch adjuster screw in the center of the clutch pressure plate in the primary.

On the clutch cable, slide the rubber boot up or down to expose the adjuster in the cable. It should be on the down tubes of the frame under the fuel tanks. Loosen the lock nut and screw the cable adjuster in as far as it will go thus shortening the cable.

At the clutch back in the primary cover, you'll see a screw that takes a hex allen wrench with a lock nut on it in the center of the clutch pressure plate. Loosen the lock nut and back it off a bit. Screw the screw inwards until you feel a resistance. You want to adjust this in until you feel a resistance, not to the point to where it starts releasing the clutch. Back the screw back out and do this enough times so that you know you are just going to the point of resistance. Turn the screw inward until you get to the point of resistance and then back the screw out 1/2 to 1 full turn. Lock the nut down.

Now, adjust the clutch cable adjuster out making the cable longer You want to adjust the cable until you have about 1/8 inch freeplay at the clutch lever. Lock the cable lock nut and slide the rubber cover over the adjuster. Test ride the bike. If the clutch does not engage exactly where you want it, use the cable adjuster to fine tune where the clutch engages by lengthing or shortening the cable.

SOURCE: what is involved in changing oil in 2005 softail

find the oil drain plug. Look at the bottom of the oil tank from the right side. You'll see a large hose going down behind the transmission and on down to the very bottom of the frame. It connects to a crossmember on the bottom of the frame below the transmission. There is a drain plug that screws in the crossmember from the bottom, Remove the plug to drain the tank.

Remove and replace the oil filter with the correct filter.

Add three quarts of oil to the oil tank after reinstalling the drain plug.

Good luck
Steve

2004 Harley Davidson FXSTD - FXSTDI Softail Deuce starter issues @

Hi, Anonymous you may have a faulty starter motor, bench test the starter with a 12-volt battery if you get a negative or poor function result, perform the following procedures:
1. Decontaminate and undercut the armature commutator segments as necessary.
2. Check segments with an ohmmeter, probe each one and the segment next to it for shorts.
3. Take the armature to a professional and have it tested.
4. Test the field coils, and the brush plate with an ohm-meter for opens, shorts or grounds.
5. Replace brushes if less than 0.438"
It is generally cheaper to overhaul-refurbish a starter motor than buying a new one.

Harley Davidson FXSTD - FXSTDI Softail Deuce starter drive will not engage just spins @

Hi, Jake, the starter clutch is a separate mechanical gear driven component that is activated by the starter motor, it engages the clutch pack ring gear to turn over the engine. It has an internal mechanism that allows the gear to turn in "ONE DIRECTION" only and once the engine starts allows the gear to free spin with engine rotation. If the starter gear free spins in "BOTH DIRECTIONS" then the drive gear has failed, it is not serviceable and needs to be replaced.

2003 Harley-Davidson Softail Deuce FXSTDI My starter spins over and clicks , but want start my 2003 Harley-Davidson Softail Deuce FXSTDI HAS A NRW BATTERY HELP PLEASE!!!

If your starter is spinning but the engine is not turning over, you over running clutch or Bendix is bad. On the Nippondenso style starter on the late bikes, this starter clutch is inside of the starter. You must pull the starter off and disassemble it to repair the starter. If you can do the job yourself, you can repair the starter and save some money. If you're going to have to pay a mechanic to do the work, simply replace the starter. Any money saved by repairing the starter in this case would be quickly depleted in labor cost.

Good Luck

How do I replace the starter on 2001 softail,

As always I recommend you obtain a service manual, it will show you step by step how to do everything.

Removing the starter from a softtail can be a pain.

You have to remove the inner and outer primarys to get at the bolts holding the starter. This will require a couple special tools (Harly Davidson) to remove the clutch assembly and output drive. You may want to visit a mechanic for this one. Or like I said get a manual, you will be glad you did.
