Technical Highlights & Manual Depth

- Detailed fuel system coverage: Maintenance for the constant velocity (CV) carburetor and the Magneti Marelli Sequential Port Fuel Injection (EFI) systems.

Chassis and Suspension

- Critical alignment procedures for the Softail rear swingarm.
- Fork oil changes and rebuilds for Standard, Heritage, and Springer front ends.
Value-Add Information for Owners
The manual includes crucial "Service Notes" that prevent common mistakes during assembly. For example, it details the specific installation requirements for the FXSTDI (Deuce) fuel tank venting system, which differs from other Softail models. You will also find precise torque values (such as the 18-22 ft-lbs for rear fuel tank bolts) to ensure safety and prevent hardware failure.
Vehicle Identification
To ensure you are using the correct data, the manual explains the 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) system located on the right side of the frame near the steering head. For 2001 models, the VIN contains specific codes for the engine type (e.g., 'B' for 1450cc EFI) and the model designation (e.g., 'BM' for Fat Boy or 'BW' for Softail Deuce).
Manual Structure:
