D- Verify oiling system operation before starting
If engine is run with foreign material in the oil tank, engine
damage will occur. Engine damage caused by foreign material
in the oil tank is not covered under the S&S warranty.
Restricted oil flow may result in extensive engine damage not
covered under warranty.
Improper installation of oil lines or fittings may result in parts
damage not covered under warranty.
1- Fill the oil tank to the proper level.
2 - Remove spark plugs. Ground plug wires to
cylinder head with either a jumper wire or
through a test plug.
3-
Remove oil sender unit.
4- Turn ignition on and turn the engine over with
the starter motor until engine oil appears at the
oil pressure sender hole.
5-
Re-install and re-connect oil sender unit.
6-
Verify that engine oil is returning to oil tank.
7- Start motorcycle. Verify oil pressure by watching
oil pressure light.
NOTES
If oil fails to appear at oil sender hole within 30 seconds
of starter operation, allow the starter to cool. Verify that
oil line routing is correct and that the oil tank is full to the
proper level.
Oil pressure indicator lamp should light when ignition is
turned on. Lamp will go out after engine is started and
there is oil pressure at the switch in the crankcase.
Avoid excessive time of starter engagement. Overheating of
starter motor will result in damage. Oil pump should prime
and deliver oil to the oil sender hole within 30 seconds.
8- Exhaust System
NOTE -
The engine must be correctly mounted into the frame
before the exhaust system is installed.
1-
Place new woven-metal gasket into exhaust ports of
cylinder heads.
2- Inspect the exhaust pipe header flanges and retaining
rings. Replace if distorted, warped, or otherwise
damaged.
3-
Apply a high-temp. anti-seize lubricant to threads of
exhaust studs at cylinder heads.
4- Install exhausts to cylinder heads. Hand tighten
exhaust stud nuts.
5- Attach exhausts to lower mounting bracket. Shim if
necessary. Hand tighten mounting hardware.
6- Tighten exhaust flange nuts at head to 60-80 in-lbs.
In some instances, brake master cylinder must be spaced out
from frame to clear crankcase. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHOULD MASTER CYLINDER OR BRAKE LINE BE ALLOWED TO
CONTACT EXHAUST PIPE IN FINAL INSTALLATION. Heat
transferred to brake fluid may expand and cause brakes to
seize, resulting in possible fire hazard and loss of control of
motorcycle with injury or death to rider and others.
NOTE -
Make certain that the exhaust system is not pre-
loaded, or in a bind, at the lower mounting points. Make all
spacing adjustments prior to final-tightening of the upper
exhaust mounting hardware at the cylinder heads. Failure to
follow this procedure may cause excessive vibration and result
in failure of exhaust pipes or mounting hardware.
