Inspect the hydraulic steering damper for leaks at specified intervals. Elevate the front wheel slightly and turn handlebars through their full range of steering travel several times to check for smooth damper action. Check all damper mounting fasteners for tightness. Refer to Service Intervals and Records → Service Records.

The steering damper must be replaced or rebuilt at specified intervals. If steering damper leaks or is damaged, see a Harley-Davidson dealer.
