Check the speedometer sensor on the gearbox. This is a common problem on Harleys. It can only be replaced as it is a sealed unit.

Pingels are better than stock but it won't make that big a difference on a stock engine

Check your fuses

Sounds like coil is bad, or fuse or relay bad.

Is it possible just to remove the fuse to disable it?

Do you have forward controls? I'm thinking the rod is out of adjustment.

The switches will have to come apart. Once apart the switches can come out of position and the caps will be over the rockers.

Which key, Ignition or steering?

No, but keep in mind that the Battery Tender will not charge a low battery. They will only maintain a fully charged battery.

The starter has a centrifical clutch. It works by using small roller bearings that sling to the outside and tighten up as the starter turns. Some models might be a bit different in design.

Not sure what your question is. This is the information I have on the bike. Air cooled, 1338cc, 45° V-twin, OHV Power: 56.56 HP (41.6 kW) @ 5000 rpm Torque: 97 Nm (71.54 lb-ft) @ 2350 rpm Final drive: Belt Top speed: 102.53 mph Dry weight: 599.7 lbs

Instructions

1. Removal
   • 1 Remove the seat retainer screw from the seat mounting bracket using a ratchet and Allen driver. Lift the rear of the seat up and slide the seat toward the rear of the bike to disengage the seat from the frame and remove it from the bike.
   • 2 Don a face shield and rubber gloves.
   • 3 Remove the battery cover retaining screw from the bottom of the battery cover using a ratchet and Allen driver. Tilt the top of the battery cover out and lift the cover to disengage it from the battery tray.
   • 4 Remove the negative battery cable from the battery using a 10 mm wrench.
   • 5 Remove the positive battery cable from the battery using a 10 mm wrench.
   • 6 Unhook and remove the battery strap. Remove the battery from the tray. Remove face shield and rubber gloves.
   • 7 Remove the two top battery tray screws from the frame above the battery tray and the bottom battery tray screw from the inside of the battery tray using a ratchet and Allen driver.
   • 8 Remove the battery tray from the bike while guiding the battery cables through the holes in the battery tray.
   • 9 Remove the starter end-cover nut, using a ratchet and socket, and pull the end-cover off the starter.
   • 10 Pull back the protective rubber boot off the positive cable terminal. Using a wrench, remove the positive cable nut and then lift the ring terminal off the starter terminal stud. Unplug the solenoid electrical connector from the solenoid.
   • 11 Remove the two starter retaining bolts from the starter using a ratchet and Allen driver. Pull the starter off the bike. Remove and discard the starter housing O-ring.
   Installation
   • 12 Inspect the two split-ring bushings in the inner primary case where the starter mounts for slack or looseness. Remove the split-ring bushings and spread them to provide a slight interference fit in the primary housing. Push the split-ring bearings back into position.
   • 13 Install a new starter housing O-ring on the starter assembly. Install the starter assembly on the bike.
   • 14 Apply one drop of Loctite Threadlocker 243 to the treads of the starter retaining bolts. Install the starter retaining bolts and washers and tighten them to 24 to 27 foot-pounds using a foot-pound torque wrench and Allen driver.
   • 15 Install the positive cable ring terminal and nut on the starter terminal stud. Tighten the nut to 65 to 85 inch-pounds using an inch-pound torque wrench and socket. Push the protective boot securely over the positive cable terminal. Plug the solenoid electrical connector into the solenoid.
   • 16 Position the starter end-cover on the starter and install the nut, using a ratchet and socket.
   • 17 Place the battery tray in position while guiding the battery cables through the holes in the tray.
   • 18 Install the upper and lower battery tray screws and washers. Tighten the screws to 96 to 120 inch-pounds, using an inch-pound torque wrench and Allen driver.
   • 19 Guide the battery cables into the recesses at the upper corners of the battery tray.
   • 20 Don face shield and rubber gloves.
   • 21 Place the battery in the battery tray with the terminals facing out. Snap the battery strap in position.
   • 22 Install the positive battery cable and cable bolt. Tighten the bolt to 60 to 70 inch-pounds using an inch-pound torque wrench and socket.
   • 23 Install the negative battery cable and cable bolt. Tighten the bolt to 60 to 70 inch-pounds, using an inch-pound torque wrench and socket.
   • 24 Remove the face shield and rubber gloves.
   • 25 Apply a light coat of corrosion retardant grease or petroleum jelly to the terminals.
   • 26 Install the battery cover and screw. Tighten the screw securely using a ratchet and Allen driver.
   • 27 Place the seat on the bike. Lift the rear of the seat and slide it forward to engage the seat tab in the frame slot. Lower the rear of the seat and install the seat retainer screw through the seat mounting bracket. Tighten the seat retainer screw securely using a ratchet and Allen driver. Lift up on the seat to make certain that it is mounted securely on the bike.

Typically around 700-900 RPM.

If you go to www.hdforums.com you can find very helpful information from people that are very willing to help and have a lot of good experience.

Yes, it should fit. Typically, the only thing that would cause it to not fit would be the inside diameter of the wheel bearings. As I remember, the 02 and 03 Dynas had a 3/4" axle but I could be wrong. It is a simple matter to knock the bearings out and replace them with a different inside diameter to fit your axle.

The alarm will reset automatically or you can turn it off with the fob. If you cannot turn it off using the fob, then maybe the fob battery is flat. Replace it with a CR2032 and try again. If the alarm keeps ringing no matter what, then you may have a faulty TSSM module. All Harleys will reset the alarm if bike is turned off and left alone. By the way, have you removed the bike battery? If you have and did not disconnect it correctly (turn off alarm using fob, turn ignition on, disconnect battery) then the alarm siren will sound until its own backup battery goes flat. If this is the case, turn on ignition switch before fitting the battery.

SYN3 or HD 20w50 in engine, SYN3 Formula Plus in transmission and primary

Depends if it will fit and is vacuum operated etc. Why not use the H-D parts??
