  • Refuel in a Well Ventilated Area with the Engine Turned Off
    2011 Blackline ­ Owner's Manual Safety First Safe Operating Rules Motorcycles are different from other vehicles. They operate, steer, handle and brake differently. Unskilled or improper use could result in loss of control, death or serious injury. (00556c) Take a rider training course. Read Owner's Manual before riding, adding accessories or servicing. Wear a helmet, eye protection and protective clothing. Never tow a trailer. Before operating your new motorcycle it is your responsibility to read and follow the operating and maintenance instructions in this manual, and follow these basic rules for your personal safety. Know and respect the rules of the road (see Rules of the Road). Carefully read and familiarize yourself with the motorcycle safety information that is provided by your country or state. In the United States, read the RIDING TIPS booklet that is provided with your Owner's Manual, and read through the MOTORCYCLE HANDBOOK which is made available by your state. Before starting engine, check for proper operation of brake, clutch, shifter, throttle controls, correct fuel and oil supply. Harley­Davidson parts and accessories are designed for Harley­Davidson motorcycles. Using non­Harley­Davidson parts or accessories can adversely affect performance, stability or handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00001b) Use only Harley­Davidson approved parts and accessories. Use of certain other manufacturer's performance parts will void your new motorcycle warranty. See your Harley­ Davidson dealer for details. Stop the engine when refueling or servicing the fuel system. Do not smoke or allow open flame or sparks near gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury.

    HARLEY-DAVIDSON REVOLUTION MAX 1250 ENGINE IS TUNED FOR ADVENTURE All-New Liquid-Cooled V-Twin to Power Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special MILWAUKEE (February 22, 2021) – The Harley-Davidson® Pan America™ 1250 and Pan America™ 1250 Special models are powered by the all-new Revolution® Max 1250 engine, a liquid-cooled V-Twin designed to offer flexible, engaging performance with a broad powerband that builds to a rush of high-RPM power surging through the redline. The Revolution Max 1250 engine has been tuned specifically to deliver desirable power characteristics for the Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special models, with an emphasis on smooth low-end torQue delivery and low-speed throttle control applicable to off-road riding. “Through its history Harley-Davidson has embraced technological evolution while respecting the heritage of our brand, with engines that produce real-world performance for real-life riders,” said Harley-Davidson Chief Engineer Alex Bozmoski. “The Revolution Max 1250 is a clean-sheet, advanced-design effort that will carry Pan America riders over new horizons with reliability, efficiency, and exciting performance.” A focus on performance and weight reduction drove both vehicle and engine architecture, material choices, and aggressive component design optimization. To minimize overall motorcycle weight the engine is integrated into the vehicle as the central member of the chassis. The use of lightweight materials helps achieve a desirable power-to-weight ratio. The Revolution Max 1250 engine is assembled at the Harley-Davidson Pilgrim Road Powertrain Operations facility in Wisconsin. Revolution® Max 1250 Engine Displacement: 1250cc Bore x Stroke: 4.13 in.

  • Sidecar 2003
    SIDECAR 2003 Hal Kendall - Author Hal built his first sidecar outfit in 1953 in Mel- bourne, Australia. He has built and dreiven many outfits in Australia, the US, and the UK SIDECAR PREFACE In any generation there are always a few not content with the mundane. They want to get away from the norm and want to conquer the unconquerable. These individuals are not content to be enclosed in a stuffy metal enclosure. Nor are they satisfied with the exhilaration of a two-wheeler. They ride these three-wheeled unmanageable eccentric machines whose origins begin with the birth of the mechanical horse. Sidecarists are held together by the brotherhood of friendship that extends across the nation and around the world. Little has been said about the theory of sidecaring and its operation although many myths and back- yard gossip abound. This manual is for those hardy souls who wish to understand their cantanker- ous machines In greater detail and to those who wish to join our ranks. This manual has been compiled as a service to all sidecarists by the United Sidecar Association, Inc. All work was contributed voluntarily beginning with a zero budget. Donations received from the first limited edition manual were set aside to allow for future publications. If you have additions you would like to consider adding to this manual, please send it to: [email protected] H. A. Kendall, Ph. D., Co-Founder, Past President, snd past Executive Secretary, USCA, Inc. 2 SIDECAR DEDICATION The United Sidecar Association Sidecar Manual is dedicated to the many greats of sidecaring, those who made it all happen, individuals and manufacturers alike.

  • Harley-Davidson, Inc
    HARLEY-DAVIDSON, INC. Dalton E. Brannen Jeffrey R. Miller Nabil A. Ibrahim Augusta State University In 1903, two young childhood friends from Wisconsin developed their first prototype of a motor- powered bicycle. It was capable of speeds of almost 25 miles per hour. Today, Harley- Davidson (HD) is the only major American manufacturing concern that continues to produce American-made motorcycles. Harley-Davidson has had a long and proud tradition. However, it has also faced many problems. While producing a poor product and encountering significant competition from Japanese companies, Harley-Davidson came close to bankruptcy. The company’s turnaround was spectacular. During its history, Harley-Davidson has had five distinct management tenures or waves, each of which had a significant impact on its operations. The story of Harley-Davidson shows the impact that management can have on a company, both for bad and for good. Much can be learned from one of the greatest comebacks in the history of American business. INTRODUCTION The story of Harley-Davidson Motor Company (HD) is one of the most remarkable in the history of American enterprise. From its humble beginnings in 1903 in a backyard shed, the company grew steadily even through the travails of the Depression and two World Wars. However, the growth stalled and severe problems became evident in the late 1960’s. The excellent reputation that Harley-Davidson had developed was on a downward spiral as the products they produced were of poor quality and dated design and technology. Their market share was minuscule. To make matters worse, during the 1960’s and 1970’s, Japanese companies significantly increased exports of motorcycles to the United States and, in the process, were accused of dumping.
