Rear pipes that route away from the right side of the transmission usually fit.
•
The kicker arm will not clear the stock right side passenger floor board on FLT/FLH™ models. Installation of foot pegs or smaller foot boards are required.
•
Twin Cam models require installation of a cam-based ignition. See BAKER 2008-2009
Supplement for ignition alternatives or consult a BAKER sales tech.
•
Fuel injected models require retrofit to carburetor.

BAKER FACTORY 5 KICKER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GETTING STARTED
The BAKER™ Factory 5 Kicker kit is designed to be easily installed by any competent mechanic or dealership technician. Having your H-D™ factory service manual is required for this installation as it is referred to in many sections of the instructions. While this kit is made to be as easy as possible to install there is no substitution for experience.
To install the F5K kit, disassembly of the transmission down to the gearset is required.
We recommend reading through these instructions, to the end, before proceeding with installation process.

BAKER FACTORY 5 KICKER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GEARSET REMOVAL
To remove your existing gearset, refer to your Factory Service Manual in section 7,
Mainshaft/Countershaft removal. Follow the trap door/gearset removal procedure. Hint: with the stock side cover off, remove the nyloc jam nuts from the ends of the shafts BEFORE the trap door/gearset assembly is drawn out of the transmission case. A ½” impact gun works really keen for this task. Leave the main drive gear in the case.
DISASSEMBLING GEARSET
Once the trap door/gearset assembly is out of the transmission case, put it on a soft towel on a clean bench. If that pesky right ‘C’ dowel is stuck in the door, remove it by tapping it through with a hammer and a punch or pulling it through with a pair of vise grips. This will allow the gasket side of the door to sit flat on the support beam of the hydraulic press. With the gearset facing down and the gasket side of the door of the support beam of the hydraulic press, press the end of the mainshaft down 1/8” and then do the same to the countershaft. Alternate pressing on the ends of both shafts (1/8” at a time) until the shafts fall out. IT IS VERY HANDY TO HAVE A
SECOND PERSON CATCHING THE SHAFTS AS THEY FALL OUT. Do not allow the shafts to fall and hit the ground. Remove the conical thrust washer on the mainshaft as the ratchet hub
(PN 308-
F5K) will replace this part during the re-assembly process. Keep the stock conical thrust washer (the one without the step on the back side) on the counter shaft (see figure1). Put the ‘prepared’ gear clusters on the soft towel on the bench.

V5.041317
BAKER FACTORY 5 KICKER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEARING DOOR ASSEMBLY
1.) Remove the Factory 5 Kicker bearing door (PN 1-5SK(P,R,B)) assembly from the package. Clean your mainshaft and countershaft threads with lacquer thinner and dry them completely before pressing the shafts into the door. Now take your mainshaft assembly and support it vertically in the press with the clutch end of the mainshaft at the facing down. Insure that the cage bearing is still on the cluster with first gear around it.
Now take your Factory 5 Kicker bearing door (PN 1-5SK(P,R,B)) assembly and press the mainshaft into the ratchet hub (PN 308-
F5K) while using the ratchet hub (PN 308-F5K) as your press point (figure 2). Make sure your mainshaft is perfectly vertical before pressing it in, damage to threads could incur if not vertical. Remove assembly from press. Apply thread ‘Red’ thread lock to the mainshaft retainer nut (PN RV-7050) and torque to 45-55 ft/lbs.
2.) Take the countershaft assembly with the threads facing up. Make sure the thick washer is still in place and place in the press supported vertically. Now take the Factory 5 Kicker bearing door (PN 1-5SK(P,R,B)) assembly and place it on to the countershaft. You will have to angle it on to get the gears to line up properly (figure 3). Once the mainshaft is parallel with the countershaft place the countershaft press tool on to the countershaft bearing in the assembly (see picture). Slowly press the countershaft into the bearing door making sure all the gears spin freely. Once the countershaft is seated, clean the threads with lacquer thinner and blow dry completely. Apply ‘Red’ thread lock to the countershaft retainer nut and torque to 45-55 ft/lbs. Your bearing door assembly is complete.

BAKER FACTORY 5 KICKER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GEARSET INSTALLATION
1.) Refer to your Factory Service Manual for proper gearset installation.
2.) You will need to use the supplied fork rod (PN 122-
6R-FF) for installation.
3.) Replace the bearing door assembly with the supplied gasket (PN 35652-79B).
4.) Once the gearset is in the transmission case. Use the four supplied 5/16-18 x 1-1/4
SHCS (PN
31C125KCSS/P) and 5/16 washers (PN 6100) in the lower four holes of the bearing door. Using ‘Blue’ thread lock, torque the bolts to 13-16 ft/lbs. Install the four supplied ¼-20 x 1-1/4 SHCS (PN
25C125KCSS/P) and ¼ washers (PN 6099SS) in the upper four holes of the bearing door. Using ‘Blue’ thread lock, torque the bolts to 7-9 ft/lbs (84-108 in/lbs)
5.) Install your top cover per your Factory Service Manual using the supplied top cover gasket (PN 34904-86
E)
CABLE TYPE KICKER COVER INSTALLATION:
PN 578-56M(P,B,R)-K
Refer to your Factory Service Manual to remove your clutch cable from your side cover ball and ramp assembly.
1.) Place the side cover gasket on the two 10mm dowels (PN 16583-
67) on the bearing door assembly.
2.) While making sure the ratchet gear (PN 3
11-F6K) is still retained by the kicker crank gear
67).
While holding the cover in place take the nine supplied 5/16-18 x 1 ¼ SHCS (PN
31C125KCSS/P) with 5/16 washers (PN 6100) and apply ‘blue’ thread lock to the threads. Now torque the fasteners to 13-16 ft/lbs (156-192 in/lbs).
3.) Remove the six fasteners holding the ball and ramp cover on. Remove the ball and ramp cover and gasket at this time as well.
4.) Install the supplied clutch throw out rod (PN 125-5R) at this time through the pinion gear quill (PN 585-5)
5.) Thread your clutch cable into the side cover. Loosen the clutch cable adjustment all the way so there is maximum cable exposed in the side cover.
6.) With the cable fully extended in the side cover take the supplied ball and ramp assembly and slide it over the cable. Install the clutch cable ferrule (PN 3094-DSSC) and ‘seat’ the cable.
7.) Install the ball and ramp assembly with outer ramps ‘tab’ in the 2 ‘o’clock position.
8.) Now place the ball and ramp cover plate with gasket back into position.
9.) Using ‘Blue’ thread lock, install the six bolts. Torque the four ¼-20 x ¾ (PN 25C50KLHS) to 7-9 ft/lbs (84-108 in/lbs). Torque the two #10-24 x 5/8 (PN 10C50KLHS) to 4-5 ft/lbs
(54-60 in/lbs).
