How do you remove the starter solenoid on your 1985 Harley EVO?
I have a 85 FXWG, Dont know if the set up is the same but it should be close. There are two ways you can go about #1) Remove outer primary and the mounting bolts to the Solinoid then remove the starter, in where the starter bolted to the inner primary casing, there will be a gear that meshes with the gear on the end of the starter shaft. ( when the solinoid is pulled in) It is held in place with 1 or 2 Allen head bolts. (Can't Remember) Remove the Allen bolts and this will allow you to pull out the shaft (from the inside of the primary) that engages your starter to the Clutch. now the Solinoid has a fork that attaches to that shaft and it can be wriggle free as you pull on the shaft and pull out on solinoid at the same time. watch for shims when you pull the outer primary cover and replace them on the stub shaft when you put it back on. #2) Remove the outer primary cover and with care you can bend one side of the fork that pulls the shaft into the clutch, you will see what I am talking about this will allow you to pull the solinoid with out going thru the hassle of pulling the starter. Then when you put in the new solinoid just bend the fork back up enough that it will not fall out of place. The fork is not real easy to bend it will take some doing. Hope this helps

How do you adjust the chain on 1982 Harley FXWG?
To adjust the primary chain you remove the oval-shaped inspection cover on the chaincase, loosen (don't remove) the 9/16" nut that holds the chain tensioner in place and move the adjuster up or down to adjust chain tension. The chain should have 5/8" to 7/8" of up-and-down play at its tightest point when the motor's cold and 3/8" to 5/8" of play when the motor's hot. To adjust the rear chain, loosen (but don't remove) the axle nut and turn the adjuster nuts (on the ends of the swingarm) in or out an equal number of turns to obtain proper chain tension. The rear chain should have about 1/2" of up-and-down play at its tightest point.
Did an 85 harley wide glide come stock with a 4 speed?
No 85 is the 1st year for the 5 speed tranny. 84 is the 1st year for the Evo and the last year for the 4 speed and kicker.Whoever left this answer is DEAD WRONG! I own a stock 1985 Harley Wide glide he is correct that the first year for evo was 84 but The 1985 Wide Glide was stock with a 4 speed with the kick start. It also had the push button start but there was still a kick start on them standard. 1985 WAS the last year for the kick start on the Wide Glide models and the end of the kick start was the end of the 4 speeds as well.O.K., calm down - no need to get excited about this!! We're just trying to share some information,some good - some not so.... you can call me Don.I am an original owner of a 1984 FXSB Low rider which is designated by the VIN as a "special early" model.It was the last of the Shovelhead 80 inch engines with the 4 speed transmission.In Mid 1984,HD released the soft tail model which featured the Evo engine.My best friend Neal(RIP) bought a new 1985 FXWG and we rode from East coast to West coast USA (and back)in 1988 when we were both on ACTIVE DUTY in the U.S. Marine Corps and I'm here to tell you,that 85 Wide Glide had a 4 speed transmission with kick AND electric starter!!I'll also tell you that it was much harder to kick start than my Low Rider,I discovered the hard way (of course).1982 FXR/FXRS Super Glide® II with its rubber-isolated, five-speed powertrain and the welded and stamped frame for the new Sportster® models.
Can you find out the model of a Harley Davidson motorcycle with the serial number?
Prior to 1961On Harley models prior to 1961, the engine number acts as the VIN. This number can be found on the left side engine case. Harley models produced prior to 1969 do not carry any frame number.VIN Numbering Conventions:First two numbers are the model year.Letters (up to four) are the model designation.The last numbers are the production run number.1962 - 1969VIN Numbering Conventions:First two numbers are the model year.Letters (2-4) are the model designation.The last numbers are the production run number.In addition, models with 4 digit production numbers have an even-numbered first digit for even years, odd for odd years.Models containing a 5 digit production number will have the first two digits even for even years, odd for odd years.Why is this important? If the VIN does not follow this even or odd numbering sequence, you can almost guarantee that the VIN has been altered. It is extremely common to find mismatched engines in these early bikes with different VIN numbers than the title paperwork.1970 - 1980Beginning in 1970, Harley started stamping VIN numbers on both the frame and engine case. The exception as noted by our friends at Cyborg Cycles, is the 1979 model. This exception is discussed below.First two numbers are the model code.Next 5 digits, position 3-7 is the production run number.The last 2 digits designate the year.The only legal VIN number for Harley's produced after 1970 is on the frame. NO EXCEPTION! It doesn't matter if the engine case number matches your registration papers, if the frame VIN doesn't match the registration you have a problem! You might be able to fool a few cops or even someone at the DMV, but don't count on it. In addition, it should go without saying that any alteration to the VIN is illegal. This goes for restamping frames or adding the original VIN to a replacement frame. If you replace the frame, you need to have a new VIN assigned to your Harley.Always remember that on models built after 1970, the Harley VIN always follows the frame... not the engine!The infamous 1979 ExceptionDuring the 1979 model run, some Harley's were produced with engine numbers that did not match the frame number. The production date is reported to be from 1/9/79 - 2/7/79, and the frame VIN's affected are 43000H9 through 48199H9. These models had engines numbered with a separate "crankcase number" instead of the frame's VIN. This engine number is reported to be a ten digit numeric ID. Rumor has it that Harley went back to the old numbering sequence once the legal ramifications were realized. Regardless of the engine case number, the title must always match the frame VIN.Thanks to Cyborg Cycles for this information.1981 -2000Beginning in 1981, Harley started using a 17 digit VIN number on the frame and an abbreviated VIN on the engine case. As always, the legal title must match the VIN number on the frame. If the title and frame VIN reads 1HD1ELK12BZ123456, the engine case number should read something like ELKB123456. VIN number rules described under the 1970 - 1980 Harley models also apply here.Harley VIN Model Year DesignationsPrior to 1970 the model year appeared in the last 2 digits of the Harley VIN. From 1970 to 1980 Harley used an alphanumeric year code. The code "H" is followed by the last number of the year (i.e. 1971= H1, 1972= H2). The exception is 1980 which was J0. 1981 to 2000 model big twinsSingle letter in the 10th digit designates the model year.1981 - B 1986 - G 1991 - M 1996 - T 1982 - C 1987 - H 1992 - N 1997 - V 1983 - D 1988 - J 1993 - P 1998 - W 1984 - E 1989 - K 1994 - R 1999 - X 1985 - F 1990 - L 1995 - S 2000 - YHarley VIN Model CodesBig TwinsAs if things weren't confusing enough, Big Twin's have a different set of model designations in the Harley VIN depending on whether they are a 4 speed or 5 speed model.1970 thru 1980 4 Speed Big TwinThe first 2 digits of the Harley big twin's VIN digits are the model code.1A = FL/FLP 1200 2F = FXS 1200 5H = FLHS - 80 7H = FLH 1200 Police 1H = FXB - 80 2H = CLE - 80 6E = FXEF - 80 8H = FLH 1200 Shrine 1K = FLH - 80 shrine 3G = FLH - 80 6G = FXE - 80 9D = FXE 1200 2A = FLH 1200 3H = FLH - 80 Classic 6H = FL - 80 9G = FXWG - 80 2C = FX 1200 5E = FXEF 1200 7G = FXS - 80 9H = FLH - 80 PoliceExample: 3G12345H1 is an FLH1980 5 Speed Big TwinHarley 1980 5 Speed's used code 5G1981 thru 1985 4 Speed Big TwinThe 5th and 6th digits designate the model code.AA = FLH - 80 AL = FLH - 80 BE = FXWG - 80 AB = 80 police chain BA = FXE - 80 BF = FXSB - 80 AC = FLH - 80 Shrine chain BB = FXEF - 80 BH = FXST AH = FLHP - 80 Police Belt BC = FXS - 80 BG = FXDG - 80 AK = FLHS - 80 BD = FXB - 80 BK = FXSTCExample: 1HD1BEK11BY123456 is a FXWG1981 5 Speed Harley Big TwinThe 5th and 6th digits designate the model code.AE= FLT AF= FLTCExample: 1HD1AFK11BY123456 is a FLTC1982 thru 2002 5 Speed Big TwinsThe 5th and 6th digits designate the model code.BH = FXST DJ = FLHTC FE = FLTCU-I BJ = FLSTC DK = FLTC Shrine FF = FLHTC-I BK = FXSTC DM = FLTCU FG = FLHTCU-I W/SC BL = FXSTS DP = FLHTCU FH = FLHP-I Police BM = FLSTF EA = FXR FJ = FLHP Police BN = FLSTN EB = FXRS FL = FLHTCU-I Shrine BP = FXSTSB EC = FXRT FM = FLHTP-I Police BR = FLSTS ED = FXRP Police windshield FP = FLTR BS = FXSTD EF = FXRP Police Fairing FR = FLHRC-I BT = FXSTB EG = FXRS-SP FS = FLTR-I DA = FLT 82 - 83 EH = FXRD FT = FLHPE-I (California) DA = FLHTP Police Windshield EJ = FXRC GA = FXDB-D DB = FLTC EK = FXRP Police C.H.P.

Is it possible for oil to go from the primary to the oil tank?
is it possible for oil to go from the primary to the oil tank Don't do new scooters that have a sealed Primary so no....but, shovelheads had an oil line from the oil pump to the back of the primary case to oil the primary chain and yes, it went back into the oil tank. Sorta recirculated ya know.. I sealed my '80 fxwg just so the primary oil didn't go back to the tank. And..... newer bikes hold a lot more oil in their primary. I put only about 4 oz in mine sealed!!
What does all the letters stand for on harley Davidson motorbikes?
THE HARLEY ALPHABETEver wondered what all those letters mean when you hear a Harley model number? Well here is the answer. I found this a while back when I was looking to buy a bike. I don't remember where I found it, so unfortunately I can not give credit to the original author.The first letter of the model designator reveals the engine series:First character:G - Servicar three wheeler, 1932 to 1972E - Overhead valve 61 cubic inch "big twin" (Engine/trans separated)F - Overhead valve 74 or 80 cubic inch "big twin"K - Side valve 45 and 55 cubic inch sports bike that replaced the WL in 1953 and was replaced by the sportster in 1957. It had many design features that were carried over to the Sportster.U - Side valve 74 or 80 cubic inch "big twin"V - Side valve 74 cubic inch made prior to 1936W - Side valve 45 cubic inch made 1934 to 1952X - Sports and special construction. Applied to 1918-1922 opposed twinSport, 1944 military opposed twin, and 1957 to present Sportster. There were others, such as the J series (a very nice looking bike that was about the hottest thing around in the 20's) but you're not likely to see them in daily use anymore.Second character:L - high compression. Omitted on low compression early models, and not indicative of compression on current models.Remaning characters:Model descriptions, eg WG - Wide Glide. Some generalizations:A - Military (Army) version (except GA, Servicar without tow bar)B - Battery start (early models), Belt drive (some later models).C - Classic, Competition, Custom, various others meanings.D - Dyna, the newest frame and engine mount design.E - Electric startF - Foot shift (when the standard was hand-shift)H - varied between High performance and Heavy duty. The early FLH for example produced 5 more HP than the FL and was used primarily for touring and sidecar applications.LR- Low Rider (though many Low Riders don't include LR in the model ID)P - Police versionR - Rubber mounted engine (some models) racing version (other models) e.g. the FXR is a lowrider with rubber mounted engine, WLR is the flat track racer that was very hard to beat in the 30's, 40's, and 50's.ST- Soft TailS - (without following T) Sports version eg FLHS is an FLHT without the touring package.T - TouringWG- Wide GlideSportsters: Models beginning with X are Sportsters. These descend from the K series, 1952-56. The XL series started in 1957. They are "unit construction" (engine & transmission share a common case). X was in the normal series, following the U and V used for flathead Big Twins.L stood for high compression (7.5:1 in 1957). In 1958 came the XLH with H meaning Higher-power or High-compression (9:1) or Hot. Also in 1958 was the XLCH: The C in XLCH was intended to mean "Competition", but the late Hal Robinson used to claim the CH on his bike stood for Charley Horse" because it was highly modified and had enough initial ignition advance to kick back rather severely.The Sportster engines were originally actually 53.9ci. (883cc) but were designated as 55ci. This was upgraded (in 1970?) to 61ci (1000cc), redesigned in '73 but still 61" and stayed relatively unchanged until the 74" EVO version. The 883 and 61" were both produced the first year of the 883. Options for Sportsters abounded but these same letters have been used since 1958 in various combinations, plus the XLCR (a "cafe racer" style, with bikini fairing) and the XLT (Touring, with bigger tank, thicker seat, and hard bags straight off the FLHS), both produced 1977-1978 only.Big Twins: Models beginning with F are Big Twins. These all descend from the 61E in 1936. Knuckleheads 1936-47, Panheads 1948-65, Shovelheads 1966-84/85, and Evolutions 1984/5-present. The Evolution (block head) was introduced in '84 on the Soft Tail and Tourglide Ultra, with the last Shovel built in mid '85. Until 1978, these were mostly 74's (~1200cc). In 1978, the 80ci (~1340cc) was introduced.In 1971 was the first FX model, with an F engine and assorted Sportster (X) parts, notably forks - these were initially Super Glides. In 1974, FXE was Electric start. In calendar 1977 came the FXS Low Rider, with shortened shocks and scooped seating position. Also in 1978, the FX Super Glides got belt final drive. 1979 brought 80ci Shovelheads and the FXEF Super Glide Fat Bob (not Boy), for bobbed fenders and fat tank. In 1980, FXWG (Wide Glide) and the FXB Sturgis with belt drive (primary and secondary).1984 brought the Softtail FXST, with the look of an old hardtail but some suspension for comfort.In 1991 came the FXD Dyna Glide series, starting with another Sturgis model. This brought many frame and engine mounting changes, a relocated oil tank and moved crossover pipe.Touring: In 1980, the FLT designation was introduced for the Tour Glide. This model introduced the vibration-isolation mounted engine (rubberglide) and also a slightly different frame from other FLs and a fixed fairing. FXR (originally called Super Glide II) arrived in late 1981. The R had rubbermount engine and 5-speed tranny, as opposed to rigid-mount and 4-speed in other models. FXRS maybe meant Sport, with cast wheels and a small sissy bar. The Sport Glide FXRT (Touring) arrived in 1983, with the fixed fairing and air adjustable anti-dive forks.The only really reliable letters now are at the beginning of the model: X=Sportster, F=Big Twin, FL=Big Twin with big forks, FX=Big Twin with Sportster-style (smaller) forks, FXST=Softtail, FXD=Dyna Glide. At times, different models have even shared the same letter-designation; witness the FLHTC Electra Glide Classic/Ultra Classic Electra Glide in 1993 models.
