• Exact 2001 coverage: FXST/FXSTI, FLSTC/FLSTCI, FLSTF/FLSTFI, FXSTS/FXSTSI, FXSTB/FXSTBI, FLSTS/FLSTSI, and FXSTD/FXSTDI, with carbureted and EFI Twin Cam 88B variants.
• Engine repair depth: engine removal and installation, top-end and bottom-end overhaul, cylinder-head and valve service, pistons and connecting rods, cam support plate, oil pump, crankcase, flywheel, and counterbalancer timing.
• Drive and transmission procedures: primary chaincase, compensating sprocket, clutch disassembly and inspection, starter jackshaft, final-drive belt and sprockets, shifter cam and forks, mainshaft/countershaft, and main drive gear service.
• Model-specific chassis work: wheels and sealed bearings, wheel lacing and truing, alignment, master cylinders and calipers, hydraulic fork overhaul, Springer fork and rocker service, steering-head adjustment, rear fork, and shock absorbers.
• Fuel and electrical systems: C.V. carburetor, enrichener, vacuum fuel valve, California evaporative controls, EFI induction module/ECM/sensors/injectors/fuel pump, starting and charging, instruments, TSM/TSSM security, and fault-code diagnosis.
• Two factory publications in one 917-page PDF: Service Manual P/N 99482-01A on PDF pages 1–602 and Electrical Diagnostics P/N 99495-01 on pages 603–917, with exploded views, test charts, connector information, and wiring schematics.

Engine, Drivetrain, and Chassis Repair

The service-manual volume covers routine maintenance as well as full Twin Cam 88B repair. It maps the lubrication system before moving into engine removal, top-end overhaul, and bottom-end disassembly and reassembly. Coverage reaches the rocker-arm support plate, pushrods and lifters, heads and valves, cylinders and pistons, connecting-rod bushings, cam support plate and cam bearings, oil pump, crankcase bearings, flywheel, and balance-shaft assembly. Engine Oil Flow: Cam Support Plate/Right Crankcase Half, Balance Chain, and Flywheel Alignment Mark are among the diagrams supporting this work. Tool callouts include the HD-42313 cam chain tensioner unloader and HD-44064 balance-shaft sprocket alignment tool.

Primary-drive and transmission chapters handle chaincase removal, clutch-pack inspection and assembly, transmission sprocket and belt replacement, shifter cam and fork service, the clutch-release cover, mainshaft/countershaft assembly, transmission case, and main drive gear and bearing. The manual identifies the HD-35316A main drive gear remover/installer where that repair requires it.

Chassis coverage is divided by model wherever the hardware changes. Separate front-wheel and brake-caliper sections are provided for FXSTD, FLSTS, FXSTS, and the remaining Softails, along with dedicated hydraulic-fork and Springer-fork chapters. Wheel-bearing replacement, 16- and 21-inch wheel lacing, radial and lateral truing, disc-wheel runout, vehicle alignment, master-cylinder and caliper repair, steering-head service, rear-fork work, and shock-absorber removal are included. The maintenance schedule distinguishes Springer from hydraulic-fork requirements. The FLSTS/FXSTS material also spells out the factory sidecar restriction and the front-end geometry cautions unique to the Springer configuration.

Fuel-System and Electrical Diagnosis

Carbureted coverage includes C.V. carburetor removal and internal service, float and accelerator-pump inspection, enrichener adjustment, the vacuum-operated fuel valve and filter, fuel tank, air cleaner, model-specific exhaust systems, and California evaporative-emissions components. EFI coverage is separate and follows the ECM, induction module, throttle-position, intake-air-temperature, engine-temperature and MAP sensors, idle-air control, injectors, fuel pump/sender, and fuel-pressure testing. Scanalyzer-based EFI idle adjustment is documented as its own factory procedure.

Electrical Diagnostics P/N 99495-01 adds starter current-draw and solenoid checks, stator and regulator output testing, battery load testing, fuel-gauge and speedometer diagnosis, indicator-lamp checks, and TSM/TSSM security setup and password learning. Its carbureted and EFI engine-management flowcharts address no-start conditions, check-engine or security lamps, misfire, sensor and injector faults, serial-data loss, and intermittent harness problems. Factory methods reference the HD-41325 Scanalyzer, HD-39978 DVOM, HD-42682 ignition-module breakout box, and HD-43876 EFI breakout box.

Diagrams, Specifications, and Scope

Useful visual references include Front Fork: FLSTS (FXSTS Similar), Mainshaft/Countershaft Assembly, and Initial Diagnostic Check: EFI, plus connector-location views and carbureted/EFI main-harness, ignition, charging, lighting, instrument, starting, and security schematics. The wiring section contains nine carbureted and twelve EFI sheets for domestic and international models.

Specifications appear at the point of use and in dedicated tables: torque values, fluid capacities and approved lubricants, component dimensions, service-wear limits, runout and alignment data, electrical voltage/resistance/current tests, fuel-pressure tests, adjustment data, and special-tool part numbers. This is a 2001 service and diagnostics set, not a replacement parts catalog or owner’s handbook; replacement part selection and later service bulletins are separate.

The manual also calls out damage-sensitive repair points. Incorrect balance-chain indexing, housing preparation, or retention-pin condition can damage the engine, while operating a brake control with a wheel removed can force the pistons out and require caliper disassembly. Secure the motorcycle on a stable lift or stand before major repair work, and follow the fuel, battery, spring-pressure, brake, and lifting warnings.
