Where is the dipstick on a 2002 deuce soft tail?

On your bike the factory stock push rods do not adjust.So, you'll have to remove the top of the rocker covers, remove the rocker arms, remove the push rods (keep them in order, as they are different lengths and need to go back in the same spot they came out of) remove the push rod tube clip, and collapse and remove the push rod tube assembly.Once out, disassemble the push rod tube, then reassemble with the new push rod cup.Reassemble everything, putting the push rods in the same spot the came out of (again, they are different lengths)

The problem is with one of the brake lite switches. If you were recently inside the front handlebar controls, I would check that one first.

That is the error light - the ECM (the brain of the engine) has detected a malfunction and it has lit the warning light to notify you of that.n
You will need to have the error code read to find out what went wrong and how to fix it. Do not wait for that, you don't know how severe the problem is and what damage might occur if you ignore it.

I can't help you with the speedometer as I have no idea about those things. I'm an old school biker and I work on old bikes that the dealer will no longer work on. But, here's how to check your charging system.


Here's how to check the charging system. To do this you need to fully charge the battery and you'll need a good Digital Volt Ohm Meter. Using the meter's function selector switch, set it to DC VOLTS with a range of 20 volts or greater. Connect the red meter lead to the positive battery post and the black meter lead to the negative battery post. Start the engine and bring it to a high idle. After about a minute or so, your meter should read between 14.5 and 15.0 volts. Any lower than 14 volts, your battery will not be charged.

If you don't have the minimum voltage at the battery in the previous test, you need to check the alternator to see if it's generating sufficient voltage. You'll have to follow the wires from your voltage regulator going to the lower left front of your engine until you come to a plug. Unplug the plug and look into the engine side of it. You'll see two metal contacts in the rubber plug. This is where you are going to test the voltage from your alternator. Since you'll be testing AC voltage, it makes no difference which meter lead goes into which contact, just one lead into each contact. Set your meter's function selector switch to AC VOLTS with a 50 volt or greater range. Start the engine and bring it to a high idle. Insert one meter lead into each of the metal contacts. Do not let the leads touch each other or the engine case or ground. Your meter should read at least 25 volts.

If you do not have the 25 volts from the alternator, your stator is bad and must be replaced. If you have 25 volts or more but not the 14 volt minimum at the battery, your voltage regulator is probably bad. Make sure you voltage regulator is properly grounded. Check the condition of the wire coming from the regulator going to the battery. This wire is usually larger in diameter than the other two going to the alternator.
