Why does the fuel light stay on
WHAT DTC\'s are set???It sounds like a short to ground on the gauge circuit but see below for further and better diagnosis:When the ignition switch is ON the fuel gauge is connected to 12 VDC, current flows through the gauge and the variable resistor in the fuel gauge sending unit to ground. The sending unit float controls the amount of resistance in the variable resistor. Malfunctioning fuel gauges may be the result of a fuel gauge sender or a fuel gauge not being properly grounded OR there may be a defect in the fuel gauge sender or in the fuel gauge itself OR there may be an open circuit caused by a loose or disconnected connection or a broken wire between the ignition switch to the fuel gauge. A suspect fuel gauge system can be tested by FIRST removing the gauge and grounding the Y/W wire of the fuel gauge sender located at the bottom of the gauge, turning the ignition switch ON at which point the fuel gauge must indicate FULL. And if it does so then the fuel gauge is functioning correctly.And if it does not read FULL then get a multimeter set to the RX1 scale and measure the resistance of the sending unit by placing one of the meter probes on the Y/W wire and the other probe on a good ground. THEN for FLHT/C/U, FLTR if thefuel tank is full the meter reading should be 7-14 ohms and if the tank is empty the meter resistance reading should be 74-95 ohms resistance and a half full tank meter resistance reading will be approximately 30-38 ohms. For FLHR/C/S if the fuel tank is full, the meter resistance reading should be 27-40 ohms, if the tank is empty 240-264 ohms and if half full approximately 97-118 ohms. FOR ALL MODELS if there is a very high meter resistance or infinity reading the sender may be "open" or not grounded. In this case check to see if the sender and fuel tank are grounded by placing one of the ohmmeter probes on the flange of the sender and the other probe on crankcase and if the ground is good the meter must indicate one ohm or less and if the reading is one ohm or less the sender is defective and requires replacement and if a higher resistance reading is obtained you will need to check for a poor ground wire. THEN you can check the voltage to the O/W (+) wire and the BK (-) wire of the fuel gauge connector if the gauge did not indicate FULL and the correct reading will depend on the source voltage and the level of fuel in the tank or the position of the sender float arm on the variable resistor etc. If there is NO battery voltage present there may be a broken, highly corroded or disconnected power wire. If you cannot find a problem using the above testing replace the gauge itself.
What is torque spec for 2014 front rotor bolts
Per the FLH/FLT Clymer manual on 06-09 model years.
Brake disc torx bolts are FRONT WHEEL 16-24 FT.-LB
REAR WHEEL 30-45 FT.-LB.
I wouldn't think it would change that much year to year on FLHTCUI.
Speed sensor location
I\'m not sure if this will help but hopefully it\'s the same for you. I KNOW ON THE 2006 The VSS or variable speed sensor is located under the right side frame cover.The manual says: 1 Disconnect the battery cable. 2 Remove seat and right side saddlebag. 3 Remove right side frame cover. 4 remove the two flange nuts securing the electrical bracket to the battery tray. 5 Carefully pull the electrical bracket from the studs on the battery tray. 6 Disconnect the three pin VSS connector on the backside of the electrical bracket. 7 Remove the terminals from the electrical connector pin housing. Remove the harness from ht electrical bracket. 8 Carefully cut the wiring harness cable strap on the inboard of the rear passenger foot-board screw. Release the harness from the frame down-tube. 9 Remove the Allen screw securing the VSS onto the top right side of the transmission housing, and withdraw the sensor from the transmission case. 10 Install by reversing the removal steps while noting the following:a. Apply clean engine oil to a new O-ring on the VSS sensor prior to intsallationb. Install the sensor and tighten the Allen screw to 84-132 in.-lb.Hope this helps.
1st time changing oil on
The oil tank for the engine is located on the bottom of the transmission. There are two drain plugs under the transmission. The engine oil drain is the drain plug closest to the front left of the oil pan. Slowly remove the plug and allow just a bit of oil to drain out so you can identify it as engine oil. It should be black, not clear. The engine holds three quarts of oil in the tank. Add the oil and then check it with the dipstick with the bike on the side stand. The dipstick has two marks on it. The upper mark is "FULL HOT" and the lower mark is "FULL COLD". Do not overfill.
Good Luck

Spongy front brake 2005 electra glide
You need to bleed the brakes and if the fluid is old it may be breaking down and should also be changed at this time in that case. Remeber two years is the life of brake fluid
The order of spacers on the rear wheel startering from the brake side
With the larger outside diameter on the outboard side hold the external spacer between the belt sprocket and the rear swingarm and then slide the axle through left side of the swingarm, the external spacer and the belt sprocket into wheel hub and then when the axle emerges from the hub on the brake disc side of the wheel, push the axle through the short external spacer, the brake caliper bracket and the right side of the rear swingarm.
Engine pinging
I would run the highest octane gas you can buy at the pump
