Listen closely at the cam chest. Usually a whine that sounds like an old Chevrolet alternator is an indication of something wrong in that area. Cam bearings or Cam Chain tensioner?
You didn't say what model bike. I do not believe that Harley ever published a single book of how to service all their models. You must have a service model for each model group.
Now that seems difficult but really it's not. Harley groups their bikes into about three models of Big Twins and Sportsters. Sportsters are all the same, the same applys to the Softail line, the Dyna line, and the Dresser line. Take the Dyna series. This line inclues the Dyna Wide Glide, the Dyna Convertable, the Dyna Low Rider, and the Dyna Super Glide. They all service the same way. It's simple just remember how much oil goes in each one, the transmission is the same (except Sportster), and primary quantity. Since Harley went to the Syn3 oil that they use everywhere. It's simple these days.
Now, for servicing the front forks you need the specific service manuals because of the differences in the front fork assemblies.
There should be a drain plug on the trailing side of the slider. Some have cross point screwdriver heads on the plug others have allen or hex head plugs. Remove the plug and work the forks up and down. If all fails, you can remove the entire tube and turn it upside down.
