1995 Harley Davidson FLHR Road King. Makes a clunky noise when I put into to 1st and 2nd gear. Also feels if bike wants to not go?

Question edited for clarity and full year make and model. Question moved to correct category from 'Road Motorcycles'. Clunk noises when shifting are caused by badly adjusted clutches and slack primary chains and final drive belts. Clutch https://www.google.com/search?q=1995+Harley+Davidson+FLHR+Road+King+adjust+clutch Primary Chain https://www.google.com/search?q=1995+harley+davidson+flhr+road+king+adjust+chain+tension 'not wanting to go', could be a few things, but starts with checking the spark plugs, following by cleaning the carburetor.

2013 Harley Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy leaks fuel. But only when the tank is full. Once it gets to a certain point it stops. Any ideas??

Question edited for FULL 'year make model'. Question moved to the correct category from 'Fat Motorcycles'. Remove the tanks with fuel pipes. Push a bolt or plug into the open end of the pipes and clamp with a hose clip. Fill the tank and see where the fuel is coming from? The most likely reason is a vibration crack somewhere or a split breather. Other ideas here https://www.google.com/search?q=2013+Harley+Davidson+FLSTF+fuel+tank+leaking ..

2003 Harley Davidson Softail. Running lights will not turn off ever. Red key security light stays on in IGNITION position.

Wow, that's a lot of codes! You have codes that I can't find. Number one tip, keep the battery on the bike and on a Battery Tender which keeps it trickle charged. However, does the bike not start? You have a security immobilizer on that model! Removing the battery, or letting it go flat means it needs resetting. I found this; It was likely PPU 82883. It stands for the electronic Speedometers Pulse Per Unit. The codes prior to that are what are important. Jun 19, 2011

1993 Harley-Davidson 1340 Softail Custom. Oil all over underside of motor coming out on drive belt possible PC valve timing

Question edited for full year make model. Question moved from Cars and Trucks What causes oil to come out of the breather on a Harley? Top breathing engines breath, or vent, through the top breather bolts which are threaded into the heads of a Harley Davidson motor. The air inside a motor is saturated with oil. When oil drips out of an air cleaner assembly, it is usually an indication that the air cleaner element is due to be cleaned, or changed.Oct 22, 2019

1995 Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King. Runs fine, but it knocks a lot, and has a periodic mechanical dragging sound internally, the engine misfires during this time, then it clears up. Any suggestions?

Question edited for clarity, full year, MAKER, model. Question moved for Cars and Trucks to correct category. The 'knocking' is worrying, but is sounds like you have a simple ignition issue. My advice is to take it to a dealer and get it on a scan tool. A CDI / timing issue is my guess. This suggests it may be the carburetor or an intake leak. https://www.google.com/search?q=1995+road+king+misfires ..

2007 Fatboy Softail. Why is it acting like it's not getting fuel and the gas lights still on with a full tank?

Gaslight staying on is due to faulty fuelguage. I suggest you clean tank, check Guage, check tap, piping etc.

2007 Harley Davidson VRod light and instrument panel problem.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to correct category. The VRod has an immobilizer. When you disconnect the battery, its memory is lost. Number 1 tip, if you remove the battery, keep power in the system with a battery charger, a battery maintainer, or even a 9 volt MN150 will hold power for 20 minutes. They are very tricky to reset and normally require the dealership! Have a read of this. https://www.google.com/search?q=2007+harley+davidson+vrod+immobilizer+reset ..

My clutch slips in 5th gear, 02 dyna wide glide Harley Davidson

Lack of clutch plate pressure or worn plates will cause that. Purchase the parts you have said are damaged/worn a set of plates and springs then rebuild it and happy biking for a few more years. Follow the procedures as laid down in the workshop manual.
