00-05 Harley Davidson Softail Service Manual.



Because of their reliable design, relatively simple construction, and ease of repair; motorcycles are the ideal machine for maintenance and repair at home. With proper care and routine maintenance, your motorcycle will provide many years of reliable use. When repairing a motorcycle, most home mechanics will find them easy to work with and repairs quick and trouble-free.

Scheduled motorcycle maintenance should occur frequently at regular intervals. This routine maintenance should include changing the oil, inspecting the shift linkage - steering - suspension - coolant system - fuel system - drive belts - engine mounts, changing the spark plugs, and replacing the fuel and air filters. Having a quality service manual specific to your motorcycle will help you identify the parts of your motorcycle and assist you during routine maintenance and repair.

Doing routine maintenance on your motorcycle at home provides many benefits. It is less expensive than having a motorcycle repair shop do the maintenance. It prolongs the life of your motorcycle. And, it provides you a better understanding of the working components of your motorcycle.

Even with diligent routine maintenance, motorcycles may require periodic repairs. In the event that you need to repair your motorcycle, it will likely be easier if you have been doing your own routine maintenance as you will be more familiar with the mechanics of your engine. Another asset that makes motorcycle engine repair easier, is access to service manuals and parts catalogues. Since you may already have a user manual that you've been using for routine servicing, you need only assure that you have on hand a service maintenance manual for any in-depth maintenance that may be necessary.

Your motorcycle will provide you with many years of service. Routine maintenance and periodic repairs at home will save you money and prolong the life of your motorcycle.
