SERVICE

If you decide to perform the scheduled maintenance yourself, it is essential you have the proper tools, knowledge and skills required. Improper maintenance will cause permanent damage to your motorcycle. In performing any service or maintenance Big

Dog Motorcycles recommends the following safety precautions:

1. Wear safety glasses, goggles, or face shield when attempting any maintenance or service operations.

2. The motorcycle must be firmly supported in an upright position.

3. Never support the motorcycle by placing props under the brake pedal as damage could occur, resulting in a possible malfunction.

4. Any oil, solvent or grease on the floor can cause slips that could result in injuries.

5. The engine must not be running while attempting any maintenance or service operations.

6. Disconnect the battery’s negative cable to avoid accidental start-up of the motorcycle or injuries.

7. When running the engine, adequate ventilation is imperative in preventing carbon monoxide poisoning.

8. To avoid burns, allow the engine and exhaust system to cool.

9. Work in a well-ventilated area while keeping all sparks and flames away from fuel related parts and battery to reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion.

10.Use only non-flammable solvent as parts cleaner.


SERVICE

AIR FILTER This motorcycle is equipped with a dry paper air filter. In order to function properly, the air cleaner must provide an airtight seal between the air cleaner cover and backing plate.

Without this complete seal, dirt contaminated air may enter the engine causing rapid wear and possible engine failure. The air filter must be serviced or replaced at 500 miles and every 2,500 miles thereafter. A dry-paper filter cannot be cleaned with any type of solvent or water. If the air filter is dirty, service using the following steps:

NOTE: California models are equipped with a charcoal impregnated air filter.

1. Remove the three Phillips screws attaching the air cleaner cover to the air cleaner backing plate.

2. Remove air filter from the air cleaner backing plate.

3. Tap the filter on a flat surface to dislodge any large embedded dirt particles. Use low-pressure air, 15 PSI or below, to clean the filter by blowing air through the filter from the inside out. Hold the air nozzle at least three inches from the filter to avoid rupturing.

4. After cleaning, reseat the air cleaner element and tighten the three Phillips screws.

5. Never operate the engine with the air filter removed.

8. Start motorcycle and allow engine to reach operating temperature. Shut off engine and fill tank to proper level (if needed).


63

SERVICE

ENGINE OIL FILTER The oil filter is located at the base in the front of the engine. The oil filter should be replaced every time the oil is changed. Use only factory recommended filters.

WINTER LUBRICATION The oil change interval in winter should be shorter than normal if the motorcycle is used only for short runs. The oil should be drained frequently along with a thorough tank flush with fresh oil before new oil is put in the tank.

TRANSMISSION LUBRICANT The transmission lubricant level should be checked monthly.

Big Dog Motorcycles recommends premium V-Twin motorcycle transmission lubricant. Synthetic lubricants are NOT recommended.

64


SERVICE

CHECKING TRANSMISSION LUBRICANT LEVEL The transmission lubricant level should be checked only when the drive train is at normal operating temperature.

1. Turn the engine off and position the motorcycle upright and level. Leave the motorcycle in this position for a short period allowing the lubricant level to equalize.

2. Remove the threaded dipstick (see illustration), wipe excess oil off and reinsert until threads on dipstick and filler neck align (DO NOT THREAD).

3. Remove the dipstick and take the reading. The lubricant level should be between the two marks on the dipstick. Transmission capacity is 20 oz. Do not overfill or leakage may occur.

4. Install the dipstick.

CHANGING TRANSMISSION LUBRICANT The transmission lubricant should be changed at all service intervals and every 5,000 miles thereafter. The drain plug is located on the left side trap door, bottom center under the transmission case.

1. Unscrew the threaded drain plug to allow fluid to drain.

2. Remove speedo sensor and clean off any debris.

3. Replace and secure the drain plug.

4. Fill the transmission case with 20 oz. of lubricant. When draining and refilling the transmission insure that dirt and debris do not enter the transmission case.


65

SERVICE

PRIMARY DRIVE LUBRICANT Use a high-grade primary drive lubricant designed for a wet clutch.

C H EC K I N G P R I M A RY D R I V E

LUBRICANT LEVEL

1. Position the motorcycle upright and level.

2. Remove screws and washers that secure the

inspection cover. Remove inspection cover.

3. Remove and discard gasket.

4. Primary lubricant should be at the bottom of the clutch diaphragm spring. This is indicated by lowest starter ring gear teeth being submerged in oil.

5. Add lubricant as required.

6. Install new gasket, apply silicone sealant to sealing edge of gasket where it contacts the outer primary. (See Changing Primary Drive Lubricant.)

7. Replace inspection cover and torque screws first to 54 in•lbs. then to 108 in•lbs.

66


SERVICE

CHANGING PRIMARY DRIVE LUBRICANT Primary lubricant should be changed initially at 500 miles and every 5,000 miles thereafter. The drain plug is located under the clutch, on the underside of the primary. The filler access is the tensioner inspection cover. To change the primary lubricant and to determine correct lubrication level in the primary, turn the engine off and proceed as follows:

NOTE: Replace gasket each time primary lubricant is changed. Clean old sealant from case.

1. Remove the primary tensioner inspection cover screws, cover, gasket, and drain plug, allowing the lubricant to drain. Inspect and clean the magnetic drain plug.

Install the drain plug and tighten to 10 ft•lbs torque. Do not over tighten. Fill with

32 oz. of lubricant. For routine maintenance purposes, with bike upright and level, the proper fluid level can be visually checked by looking for partial oil coverage of the internal inner primary casting web as shown.

2. When draining or refilling with lubricant, do not allow dirt or debris to enter the primary. Do not allow lubricant to get on rear wheel, tire or brake components.

3. Apply silicone sealant to sealing edge of gasket where it contacts the outer primary.

4. Replace inspection cover and torque screws first to 54 in•lbs. then to 108 in•lbs.


67

SERVICE

PRIMARY DRIVE CHAIN INSPECTION The primary drive chain adjustment should be checked initially at 500 miles and every 2,500 miles thereafter. A loose primary chain may cause the motorcycle to “jerk” at low speeds and lead to excessive wear of the chain and sprockets. See a Big Dog Motorcycles Dealer or Authorized Service

Center for proper adjustment.

ADJUSTABLE REAR SHOCKS (CHOPPER, K-9, MASTIFF) The rear shocks are limited to 5/8 inch travel at the shocks and approximately 1-3/4 inches of travel at the seat. A check hole is drilled into the eye of the shock to indicate the maximum extended length of the eye assembly. A paper clip or short length of wire can be used in checking the hole. When inserted, the wire should not go in more than 1/8 inch.

!

WARNING

DO NOT ADJUST THE EYES OUT SO FAR AS TO UNCOVER THE CHECKING PIN HOLE. THE

HOLE INDICATES THE END OF THE ADJUSTMENT RANGE. WHEN THE HOLE IS UNCOVERED,

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH THREAD ENGAGEMENT FOR PROPER SAFETY AND FUNCTION.

68


SERVICE

LENGTH ADJUSTMENTS To increase the length of the shocks after installation, loosen the short jam nut and turn the large adjuster nut counterclockwise. The range of the adjustment is approximately 12 full turns. Alternate between each shock a little at a time and make sure that they are even. Both adjuster nuts should be flush against the shock body seal head at the same time.


69

70

SERVICE

FRONT FORK OIL Drain and refill the front forks every 5,000 miles or annually.

The Chopper, K-9, Mastiff, and Pitbull use 10 oz. of 30W synthetic fork oil per leg. The

Bulldog uses 10 oz. of 10W per leg. Improper fluid level or leaking seals will cause the front forks to malfunction. If the fork does not appear to be working properly or evidence of oil leakage should develop, see a Big Dog Motorcycles Dealer or Authorized Service

Center.

LUBRICATION

1. Lubricate throttle control cables with graphite every 5,000 miles.

2. Check steering head bearings for adjustment. Lubricate with wheel bearing grease at 5,000 miles and each 5,000 miles thereafter.

3. Lubricate the side stand with anti-seize every 2,500 miles.

4. All control pivot points may be lubricated regularly, especially after driving in wet weather or after washing.

DRIVE BELT INSPECTION The rear drive belt tension is set to 175 lbs. at the factory and should be checked along with pulley wear at the 500-mile service and each

5,000 miles thereafter. Inspect the belt for signs of excessive wear, tears, cracks and missing or broken teeth. Replace the belt if any of these conditions are found. The inner tooth surface area of a new belt is coated with a thin layer of polyethylene. This coating will wear off as the motorcycle is ridden and its appearance will change. This is a normal condition and not an indication of belt wear. Too tight or too loose belt tension will cause poor drivability.


SERVICE

SHIFTER LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT The shift linkage can be adjusted without removing the shift rod or eyelets from the shift controls. The shift rod has right and left-handed threads on opposite ends. To adjust the shift lever:

1. Loosen the jam nuts at the base of each shift rod eyelet.

2. Rotate the shift rod clockwise (to the right) to lower the shift lever. Rotate counter clockwise (to the left) to raise the shift lever.

3. Once the lever is adjusted to the desired position, tighten both jam nuts. As the jam nuts are locked into place, the shift rod eyelets must remain in a vertical position.

If the eyelets are not aligned vertically, linkage may bind causing difficult shifting.

4. Following adjustment, verify that lever will shift from neutral to 1st, back to neutral and then to 2nd, prior to operating the motorcycle.

FRONT AND REAR BRAKE INSPECTION Initially, check your front and rear brakes at 500 miles then every 2,500 miles thereafter. If you ride under adverse conditions like steep hills or heavy traffic, more frequent inspection may be necessary.

Visual inspection of brake pads can be made without removing the caliper by viewing the lower area of each caliper with the aid of a flashlight. If brake pad material is 1/16" in thickness (the thickness of a nickel) or less, the pad must be replaced immediately.

Do not ignore this routine maintenance as damage could occur. Replace brake pads in pairs only. Check the brake caliper position on both brake discs. The discs should be centered between the brake pads. If the pads are not centered, or you have any other brake related problem, contact a Big Dog Motorcycles Dealer or Authorized Service

Center.


71

72

SERVICE

BRAKE LINE AND MASTER CYLINDER INSPECTION AND

SERVICING Whenever you inspect the brake pads and discs, also inspect the brake lines, connections, master cylinders and calipers for leakage.

To service the front brake master cylinder:

1. Stand the motorcycle on its side stand.

2. Turn the handlebars until the front brake master cylinder lid is close to level (you may need assistance to keep the front handlebars in this position).

3. Remove the master cylinder lid and visually check fluid level. Full level is indicated by undercut in reservoir.

To service the rear brake master cylinder:

1. Stand the motorcycle upright and level.

2. Remove the master cylinder cover and visually check fluid level. Full level is indicated by undercut in reservoir.

USE ONLY DOT 5 BRAKE FLUID IN YOUR BIG DOG MOTORCYCLE’S BRAKE SYSTEM. THE

FRONT WHEEL MASTER CYLINDER IS LOCATED BESIDE THE FRONT BRAKE HAND LEVER.

CARBURETOR CONTROLS The idle speed adjustment screw should only be adjusted by a Big Dog Motorcycles Dealer or Authorized Service Center.


SERVICE

CLUTCH CABLE INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT The clutch cable should be checked, lubricated and adjusted at all service intervals and every 2,500 miles thereafter. If you experience slippage with the clutch engaged (clutch lever released) or dragging with the clutch disengaged (clutch lever pulled in) see a Big Dog Motorcycles

Dealer or Authorized Service Center.

ALTERNATOR CHARGING RATE AND VOLTAGE REGULATOR These units require no scheduled maintenance. If any electrical system trouble is experienced that might be related to the alternator or voltage regulator, contact a Big Dog Motorcycles

Dealer or Authorized Service Center.

BATTERY SERVICING AND INSTALLATION This motorcycle is equipped with a sealed, maintenance free battery. Battery connections should be cleaned and torqued to 50 in•lbs. every 2,500 miles. To service the battery:

1. Remove the seat.

2. Disconnect battery cables (negative first, positive last).

3. Clean the cable connectors and battery terminal with a wire brush or sandpaper to remove oxidation.

4. Connect the cables to the proper terminals (positive first, negative last). Do not over tighten terminal connections.

5. Reinstall seat.


73

74

SERVICE

Batteries may lose some charge even with the ignition turned off. Discharge rate depends on the storage temperature and the condition of the battery. After 30 days of non-use, the battery may not have sufficient cranking power to start the motorcycle.

Big Dog Motorcycles recommends using the BDM250-00004 trickle charger in order to maintain sufficient cranking power. No other charger is recommended by Big Dog

Motorcycles. DO NOT use an automotive battery charger.

CAUTION

CONNECTING CABLES TO THE WRONG BATTERY TERMINALS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE

TO THE MOTORCYCLE’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

DO NOT INSTALL ACCESSORY PLUG WIRES (NEON, TAYLOR, ETC.). ELECTROMAGNETIC

NOISE FROM THE ACCESSORY PLUG WIRES WILL CAUSE IGNITION ISSUES.

SPARK PLUG/PLUG WIRE INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT Inspect and/or replace the spark plugs at 500 miles and every 2,500 miles thereafter. To disconnect the spark plug wires from the plugs, pull on the molded connector boots.

The connection is a “snap” type. Grasp the rubber wire boot, not the wire. Pulling on the wire may damage the internal conductor.


SERVICE

The spark plug gap should be set at .040 inches. Make sure that the new spark plugs are the same type as the ones being replaced: Champion

®

RA8HC. Spark plugs should be torqued to 14 ft•lbs. If the engine seems to be running on only one cylinder, check each spark plug wire connection at both ends.

HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT The headlight has a replaceable quartz halogen bulb. When replacing a halogen bulb never touch the glass portion with your bare fingers. Oil contamination will reduce bulb life. Always wrap the bulb in clean paper or a clean dry cloth during handling. Do not attempt to remove bulb while it is still hot.

Use only 55/60W, H4 bulbs.

TURN SIGNALS The turn signals for this motorcycle are designed for brighter illumination and longevity. Substitution with any other type or brand of turn signal will disrupt the operation of the electrical system. For parts and service, contact a Big Dog

Motorcycles Dealer or Authorized Service Center.

CLEANING

!

WARNING

OBSERVE WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS GIVEN ON LABELS OF CLEANING PRODUCTS TO

PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR MOTORCYCLE. DO NOT WASH YOUR BRAKE DISCS WITH ANY

CLEANERS THAT CONTAIN EITHER CHLORINE OR SILICONE.

WHEN WASHING YOUR MOTORCYCLE, BE CAUTIOUS NOT TO EXPOSE THE BRAKES, ENGINE,

MUFFLER, INSTRUMENTS, AIR CLEANER, WHEEL BEARINGS OR PAINTED AREAS TO HIGH-

PRESSURE SPRAY. USE OF A HIGH-PRESSURE SPRAY OR PRESSURE WASHER IS NOT

RECOMMENDED. A WET ENGINE COULD BE HARD TO START AND MAY NOT RUN WELL UNTIL

IT DRIES. START THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY AFTER WASHING AND BE SURE THE BRAKES

AND ENGINE ARE OPERATING PROPERLY BEFORE RIDING.

DO NOT GET ANY CLEANERS, WAXES, POLISHES OR OTHER COMPOUNDS ON YOUR BRAKE

COMPONENTS. FOREIGN MATERIALS MAY REDUCE BRAKING EFFICIENCY.

GENERAL CLEANING Care should be taken to keep your new motorcycle clean to inhibit rust and corrosion. Chrome and aluminum parts must be maintained regularly to ensure that they retain their original shine and luster. To aid in preserving your motorcycle’s finish, see a Big Dog Motorcycles Dealer or Authorized Service Center for approved cleaning and polishing products.


CLEANING

CHROME Use warm soap and water and solvents to remove debris from chrome parts. Use a polish made expecially for chrome to shine your chrome parts. Multipurpose cleaners are not recommended. Always use a clean, soft cloth to polish your motorcycle.

LEATHER Many accessories and seats are either made of leather or have a leather insert. Natural materials require different care than man made materials. Leather must be periodically cleaned and treated to maintain its appearance and extend its life. Use only products that are specifically made for leather on your leather accessories.

PAINT Here are seven tips to help keep your paint looking its best:

1. DO NOT APPLY ANY WAX PRODUCT FOR THE FIRST 90 DAYS. DO NOT USE SILICONE-

BASED WAXES, POLISHES OR CLEANERS.

2. NEVER APPLY ANY WAX PRODUCT TO A MATTE FINISH.

3. When not riding your motorcycle, keep it inside. If it must remain outdoors, make sure to keep it protected with a high quality motorcycle cover. Over time, wind, rain and daily exposure to sunlight all take their toll on the finish if not properly protected.

4. Using an approved applicator, apply and remove wax in the same way the paint was applied, in a back and forth motion following the contour of the surface. This avoids etching swirl marks into the finish. Remove any abrasive particles from the painted surfaces and use a clean applicator with a non-abrasive polish to avoid scratching your paint.


77

CLEANING

5. Wipe off gasoline immediately. Chemicals and additives in gasoline can dull or fog painted surfaces.

6. Use only approved cleaners on your paint. Harsh cleaners may work great for removing road tar but also may damage your paint.

7. Avoid constant contact (rubbing) with any clothing or travel gear on your paint.

CAUTION

DO NOT WASH YOUR MOTORCYCLE WITH COOL WATER WHEN THE PAINT HAS BEEN HEATED

BY DIRECT SUNLIGHT. THIS CAN BREAK THE BOND BETWEEN THE PAINT AND THE METAL

SURFACE. DO NOT APPLY POWER WASH DIRECTLY ON THE PAINTED SURFACES AS THIS

CAN DAMAGE THE PAINT.

STORAGE Proper long term storage is important for trouble-free operation of your motorcycle. If you do not wish to perform these tasks, contact a Big Dog Motorcycles

Dealer or Authorized Service Center. They have trained technicians who can complete the work according to Service Manual procedures.

78


STORAGE

PREPARING YOUR MOTORCYCLE FOR STORAGE There are things to do if your motorcycle will not be operated for several months. To protect parts against corrosion, preserve the battery and prevent the build up of deposits in the carburetor the following steps are recommended to prepare your motorcycle for storage:

1. Change the oil and filter.

2. Fill the fuel tank and add a gasoline stabilizer.

3. Run the motorcycle for 1-2 minutes to circulate the fresh oil and give the stabilizer a chance to reach the carburetor.

4. Check condition of the drive belt.

5. Inflate tires to proper pressure.

6. Wash painted surfaces.

7. Remove battery.

If the motorcycle is to be covered, use a material such as light canvas that will breathe.

Plastic materials trap condensation against the surfaces of your motorcycle.

WARNING

FUEL IS FLAMMABLE. DO NOT STORE A MOTORCYCLE WITH GASOLINE IN THE TANK INSIDE

!

YOUR HOME OR GARAGE IF THERE ARE OPEN FLAMES, PILOT LIGHTS, SPARKS OR ELECTRIC

MOTORS PRESENT.


79

STORAGE

REMOVING YOUR MOTORCYCLE FROM STORAGE When removing your motorcycle from storage, here is a checklist of things you will need to do prior to riding:

1. Remove and inspect the spark plugs. Replace if necessary.

2. Check and clean or replace the air filter.

3. Reinstall battery.

4. Start the engine and run until it reaches normal operating temperature. Then turn off the engine.

5. Check the oil level.

WARRANTY

In addition to this Limited Warranty, the motorcycle is covered by the Emissions System

Warranty that follows:

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS The California Air Resources

Board is pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your 2007 BIG DOG

MOTORCYCLES motorcycle. In California, new motor vehicles must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES must warrant the emission control system on your motorcycle for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your motorcycle. Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, and engine computer.

Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission related assemblies.

Where a warrantable condition exists, BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES will repair your motorcycle at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

LIMITED WARRANTY ON EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM BIG DOG

MOTORCYCLES warrants that each new BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES motorcycle is designed, built and equipped to conform at the time of initial retail purchase with all applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Each new motorcycle that is manufactured to be subject to the laws of the State of California conforms to all applicable regulations of the California Air Resources Board. The motorcycle is free from defects in material and workmanship that would cause such motorcycle to fail to

2007 WARRANTY

WARRANTY

conform to applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and, if applicable, the California Air Resources Board within 5 years or 18,641 miles

(30,000 kilometers) whichever occurs first. Warranty defects shall be remedied during customary business hours at any Authorized Dealer in compliance with the Clean Air

Act and applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and, if applicable, the California Air Resources Board.

State of California Only: Emission related warranted parts are specifically defined by the state’s Emission Warranty Parts List. These warranted parts are: carburetor and internal parts; intake manifold; fuel tank(s), fuel tank cap for evaporative emission controlled vehicles; fuel/vapor separator; canister; ignition coil; ignition wires; and spark plugs if failure occurs prior to the first scheduled replacement; and hoses, clamps, fittings and tubing used directly in these parts. Big Dog Motorcycles will replace the carbon air filters at each scheduled maintenance point during the first 30,000 km

(18,641 miles) at no cost to OWNER. Since emission related parts may vary from model to model, certain models may not contain all of these parts and certain models may contain functionally equivalent parts. Emission Control System emergency repairs, as provided for in the California Administrative Code, may be performed by service centers other than an Authorized Dealer or by any individual.

An emergency situation occurs when an Authorized Dealer is not reasonably available, a part is not available within 30 days, or a repair is not complete within 30 days. Any

2007 WARRANTY

93

WARRANTY

replacement part can be used in an emergency repair. BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES will reimburse OWNER for the expenses, including diagnosis, not to exceed BIG DOG

MOTORCYCLES’ suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labor charges based on BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES’ recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate. OWNER will be required to provide receipts and return the failed parts to BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES in order to receive compensation. For five years or 18,641 miles, whichever first occurs, if an emissionrelated part on your motorcycle is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by

BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES. This is your emission control system defects warranty. As the motorcycle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your OWNER’S MANUAL. BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your motorcycle, but BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance. You are responsible for presenting your motorcycle to a BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES This Manufacturer’s Limited

Warranty will be maintained if BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES’ recommended service is performed by a factory Authorized Dealer, or other service facility with evidence of having provided reasonable and necessary maintenance to all covered components. As the motorcycle

WARRANTY

to the Maintenance Log that is found on page 59 of this OWNER’S MANUAL.

TAMPERING WITH NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM PROHIBITED Federal law prohibits the removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person. Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are listed below:

1. Modification or removal of the muffler and / or replacement of the exhaust system with one that is not EPA compliant for use on a street vehicle.

2. Modification to the air intake breather or replacement with a type that increases the noise level above the current standard.

Big Dog Motorcycles recommends that any noise related repair or maintenance be performed by a Big Dog Motorcycles Dealer or Authorized Service Center.

Safety Administration (NHTSA).
