SOURCE: replace rear brake pads

Remove right saddlebag, pull the two caliper mounting bolts and remove the caliper. Do not open bleeder or disconnect line. You will need to push a large screwdriver between the old pads before removing them in order to push the pucks back into the caliper or the new pads will not spread enough to reinstall. Then pull the two smaller bolts from the caliper and the pads will fall out. The pads are different for inside and outside, so pay attention, and remember, after reinstalling, before riding, be sure to pump brake pedal, and it may take a few stops before brakes stop as effectively as before.

SOURCE: how to change battery on 2001 dyna super glide

heres how its done
remove the seat , then battery neg. cable at frame, positive at terminal, then feel around the outside of the box - there is a rear lower bolt and an upper bolt - - this will cause the battery tray to swing down when they are removed. Orient the new battery same as the old one... reverse the process..... thats it

SOURCE: 02 DYNA WIDE GLIDE WON'T IDLE UNLESS CHOKE IS OUT.

Sounds like you've got a vacuum leak somewhere. Either your intake seals or the carb seal is leaking air. Have you replaced the air filter housing? On the Evolution and later engines, the carb is designed as a "spigot seal" type carb. In other words, it just pushes into a seal instead of bolting on like the older carbs did. This means that the carb has to be aligned correctly or an air leak can occur around the seal. The air filter assembly is what holds the carb. into the seal and aligns the carb.

If you haven't messed with the air filter assembly there is one other thing that I've seen cause this problem. Your bike has two vacuum operated devices on it. One is the VOES switch and the other is the fuel petcock. The VOES switch is part of th igniton system and the petcock is the fuel valve on the fuel tank. The vacuum comes from either the carb or the intake manifold and is routed to the devices by a vacuum hose. Make sure this hose in connected to all three locations and has no holes in it. The vacuum hose to the petcock is on the backside of the petcock and the VOES is located on the bottom of the frame top tube under the fuel tank near the carb.

I have seen the vacuum operated petcock cause a vacuum leak in at least one occasion. Normally, when they go bad they just shut the fuel off to the carb and the engine won't run. But, I did have one that caused a severe vacuum leak and the bike acted exactly like you're describing. I took the petcock out of the tank. Drain the fuel first, not easy to do with the petcock being vacuum operated. I got a large funnel and held it under the petcock while I slowly unscrewed it. Once you have the petcock out, you'll see four small screws on the back side of it where the vacuum hose connects. Remove the screws and check the diagraphm behind the plate. Be careful, there is a small spring behind the plate. Take the petcock apart carefully so you can remember how to properly reassemble it.

Personally, I would eliminate the vacuum operated petcock and replace it with a high quality manual operated petcock. Like I said earlier, if they malfunction they usually shut the fuel off to the engine. There you are, a full tank of fuel but none to the engine. I'd replace it with an original Harley unit for a 1995 or earlier bike or a high quality aftermarket unit like a Pingle.

You need to find this problem before you ride the bike too much. The lean mixture resulting from a vacuum leak will cause the engine to run very hot.

SOURCE: how to change oil in 2003 HD FXD Dyna Super Glide

remove the drain plug from the oil pan, you will need either a 3/4" box wrench or a 5/8" box wrench and the drain plug will be facing forward on the the oil pan. It is easiest to remove this drain plug from under the right side of the bike. put drain plug back in after about 10 m,inutes of drain time and tighten to 18 ft. lbs. Dont forget to change the oil filter as well.

Front and rear breaks seem to be soft and not griping. Break pads are good. 2003 Dyna super glide.

Check for wear, change pads when worn. Verify no brake line leakage. Some aftermarket pads cause differences with harder metals or softer dependant on the rotors type and composition and the rotors shoes would be the reason for innacurate braking.

2005 Harley Davidson FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide rear brake pedal will not return @

Hi, Mbolli9305 and the usual suspects are:
1. Caliper, bracket, wheel, or brake disc not properly spaced.
2. Caliper piston contaminated causing it to stick.
3. Caliper pins not properly lubricated.
4. The wrong type of brake fluid causing seals and o-rings to swell.
5. Wrong brake pads for the caliper.
6. Improper free play on the master cylinder.

How do you adjust the rear brake pedal, mine is to low

There should be an adjustment on the stop or the pushrod that goes into the master cylinder. You must have a bit of freeplay in the master cylinder pushrod to insure that the rear brake is releasing completely.

Good Luck

To much play in brake pedal

The pedal should have about 1/2" to 3/4" "play" in it before you feel the brake. The reason for this is to make sure the brake releases completely. If you don't have enough free play, every time you apply the brakes, they get harder and harder as they do allow the brake fluid to return to the master cylinder is there isn't enough free play in the pedal. To check for this. With the bike standing still, depress the rear brake pedal several times and then let off. Try to roll the bike forward. If it is difficult to roll, the brake isn't releasing correctly and you must find the problem. I don't think the "freeplay" of the rear brake is adjustable.

Good Luck

The blinkers work but the brake lights dont for a 2003 harley davidson dyna super glide...how can i fix this?

Check to see if the brake light works when you apply the front brakes. If they work but if the brake light won't come on when the rear brake pedal is depressed, the rear brake light switch is bad. Find the rear brake master cylinder and you'll see a metal line coming out of it. Follow the line back towards the rear of the bike until you come to a tee in the line. The brake light switch is screwed into the tee and a couple of wires plugged onto it.

If neither your rear brake light nor you tail light works, first check the bulb. If the bulb is good, you might have a wiring problem. The wiring is a sub-harness that plugs up under the seat area and then runs back to the rear light assembly. The turn signal wiring usually run down each side of the rear fender behind the fender struts.

Ride Safe
Steve
