"Heavy Breather" Air Cleaner Installation
NOTE
When servicing the air cleaner, apply Loctite 243 (blue) to all threaded fasteners (both male and female threads).
| 1. | Obtain the new air cleaner backplate (1), the backplate gasket (3), two O-rings (4) and blue Loctite 243 (9) from the kit, and the breather screws removed in Step 2. | |
| 2. | Install the new O-rings in the grooves around the breather screw holes on the carburetor or induction module side of the backplate. | |
| 3. | Remove the backing from the adhesive side of the backplate gasket. Carefully line up the holes, and install the gasket on the carburetor or induction module side of the backplate. | |
| 4. | Insert the breather screws through the backplate. Apply a small amount of Loctite to the breather screw threads and the mating tapped holes in the cylinder head, then thread the screws into the cylinder head. DO NOT tighten completely at this time. | |
| 5. | Obtain the three backplate mounting screws (5) from the kit, and apply a small amount of Loctite to the screw threads. Thread the screws all the way through the backplate and gasket until the screw threads are captured in the carburetor or induction module. DO NOT tighten completely at this time. | |
| 6. | Alternately tighten the two breather screws to 13.6–16.3 N·m (120–144 in-lbs). | |
| 7. | Obtain the two breather plugs (10) and O-rings (6) from the kit. Lubricate the O-rings with clean engine oil or white lithium grease. Install the O-rings onto the breather plugs. Press the breather plugs into the breather screw cavities. | |
| 8. | Tighten the three backplate mounting screws to 6.2–6.8 N·m (55–60 in-lbs). |
Air filter Element and Air Tube Installation
NOTE
This air filter is PRE-OILED, and ready to install.
| 9. | Obtain the gasket (7), intake tube (12), mounting ring (13), and three flat head screws (8) from the kit. a. With the countersunk holes facing outward, slide the mounting ring all the way onto the intake tube, up to the flange. b. Place the gasket against the opposite side of the flange. c. Line up the holes in the gasket with the mounting ring holes and notches in the intake tube flange. d. Apply a small amount of Loctite to the threads of the three flat head screws. e. Secure the intake tube, mounting ring and gasket to the air cleaner backplate, and tighten the screws to 6.2–6.8 N·m (55–60 in-lbs). | |
| 10. | Obtain the chrome band clamp cover (17), adhesive ring (18), and air filter element (19) package from the kit. | |
| 11. | Remove the backing from one side of the adhesive ring, center the ring on the inner surface of the band clamp cover and press the ring evenly and firmly into place. | |
| 12. | Remove the air filter element and band clamp (15) from the package. Loosen the band clamp as needed to allow removal or repositioning. NOTE Observe the Screamin' Eagle® logo on the chrome filter element end cap. For best appearance, place the band clamp and chrome band clamp cover onto the filter element flange so the screw slot will be accessible but the screw mechanism hidden from view when the filter is installed to the intake tube with the logo upright. | |
| 13. | Remove the backing from the remaining side of the adhesive ring, and press the chrome band clamp cover onto the large end of the air filter element. Position the band clamp onto the filter element flange, inside the chrome cover flange with the band clamp screw mechanism in the cover flange cutout. | |
| 14. | Slip the air filter element onto the intake tube approximately 5/8 inch (16 mm). Ensure that the filter element end cap logo reads upright, and the band clamp screw mechanism is hidden from view for best appearance, yet the screw slot is accessible for tightening. Tighten the clamp around the filter element flange to 3.4–4.5 N·m (30–40 in-lbs). | |
| 15. | Slip the rain sock (20) over the air filter element. | |
| 16. | Obtain the "STOP" decal (16) from the air filter element package. Peel the paper backing from the decal, and affix the decal to a clean, dry, highly visible location on the vehicle near the air filter. This will advise subsequent technicians of the presence of the non-disposable filter element. The rectangular "K&N" decal can also be mounted to the vehicle if desired. | |
| WARNING Connect positive (+) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00068a) | ||
| 17. | Refer to the service manual and follow the instructions given to re-attach the battery cables, positive cable first, and install the seat. |
WARNINGAfter installing seat, pull upward on seat to be sure it is locked in position. While riding, a loose seat can shift causing loss of control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00070b)
NOTE
Riding a motorcycle equipped with an exposed oiled air filter under rainy conditions IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
Slip the rain sock (20) over the air filter element under these circumstances.
DO NOT RACE IN THE RAIN!
Air filter Element Maintenance
NOTE
Riding a motorcycle equipped with an exposed oiled air filter under rainy conditions IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
Slip the rain sock (20) over the air filter element under these circumstances.
DO NOT RACE IN THE RAIN!
| 1. | Inspect the air filter element every 5000 miles (8000 km), or more often under dusty conditions. NOTE The use of cleaning, drying or oiling methods or products other than those shown will damage the filter and void the manufacturer's warranty. K&N® Air Filter Cleaner is available from a Harley-Davidson Dealer, either alone (1 qt/0.95 L sprayer bottle, Part Number 99883-88T) or a 12 fl oz/0.35 L sprayer bottle as part of the Filter Care Service Kit (Part Number 99850-92T). K&N Air Filter Oil is also available from a Harley-Davidson Dealer, either alone (12.25 oz/ 347 gram aerosol can, Part Number 99882-88T) or a 6.5 oz/ 184 gram aerosol can as part of the Filter Care Service Kit. DO NOT OVER-OIL THE AIR FILTER. Over-oiling may interfere with the proper performance of the engine and/ or certain engine components. If oil is still draining or dripping from the filter media twenty minutes after oiling, clean and oil the filter element. | |
| 2. | To clean the element: a. Loosen the hose clamp retaining the air filter element assembly to the air tube. Separate the element from the air tube. b. Tap the element to dislodge any loose dirt, then gently brush with a soft bristle brush. c. Spray air filter cleaner liberally onto the cotton filter media and let soak for ten minutes, OR roll or soak the cotton filter media in a shallow pan of air filter cleaner. Remove immediately, and let soak for ten minutes. d. Rinse off the filter media (flowing from the clean side to the dirty side), with low-pressure tap water. e. After rinsing, shake off all excess water, and let the filter media air-dry naturally. DO NOT use compressed air or a heat gun to speed drying. f. After the filter media is completely dry, EITHER spray air filter oil along each pleat, once only, holding the spray nozzle approximately 3 inches (76 mm) away from the media, OR carefully use a squeeze bottle to deposit oil along each pleat, once only. Let the oil wick (absorb) into the filter media for
twenty minutes before proceeding. After twenty minutes, inspect the filter media, and carefully apply oil to any remaining visible white spots on the filter media, and allow to absorb. | |
| 3. | Slip the air filter element onto the intake tube approximately 5/8 inch (16 mm). Ensure that the filter element end cap logo reads upright. Tighten the clamp around the filter element flange to 3.4–4.5 N·m (30–40 in-lbs). |
