2009-2021 Harley Davidson Dyna Maintenance Schedule

Maintaining a 2009–2021 Harley-Davidson Dyna motorbike wasn’t just a chore; it was a beloved ritual that showed how close the rider and machine were. Harley-Davidson, which is known for its dedication to quality and craftsmanship, made sure that the servicing experience was just as famous as the bikes themselves. Dyna motorcycle owners could keep their bikes running at their best and make sure they would last a long time by following specific service schedules and regular maintenance intervals. Routine chores like changing the oil, checking the brakes, and maintaining the tires were part of the process. They were all done to keep the bike in great shape. There was also a large network of approved Harley-Davidson service centers and a lot of information available, like owner’s manuals and online guides, so riders could do their own maintenance or trust trained technicians to do it. This all-around approach to maintenance summed up what the Harley-Davidson brand was all about. It gave riders a sense of pride and ownership, and they loved being able to customize and take care of their Dyna motorcycles. This strengthened the bond between rider and machine that made these bikes so popular on the open road.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Maintain chrome and aluminum regularly to check that they retain their original shine and luster. Take care to keep your new Harley-Davidson motorcycle cleaned and waxed as often as possible to inhibit rust and corrosion.

DENIM FINISH

General
If your vehicle has a denim (flat or matte) finish please read below.

• The Denim finish has qualities that differ from high gloss finishes on all other Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Like denim fabric, Denim paint will burnish or mar with age and use, thus adding character and personality to the finish of the motorcycle.
• If scratched, the color coat of paint does nick/scuff and these marks can not be rubbed out.
• If polished, the finish will become less matte and more glossy over time.

How to Clean

1. For heavier deposits:
   
   • Use grease-cutting dishwashing detergent and a clean
   • H- D wash-mitt. (Dilute the detergent per the instruction provided by its manufacturer.)
   • Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
2. For light deposits, use glass cleaner (ammonia base) and
   
   • H- D Soft Cloth. This helps remove fingerprints and light soil.
3. For final detailing use H-D Gloss with H-D Soft Cloth.

LEATHER CARE

NOTE
Many Harley-Davidson accessories and seats are either made of leather or have leather inserts. Natural materials age differently and require different care than man-made materials. Seat covers and panels made of leather will gain “character”, such as wrinkles, with age. Leather is porous and organic and each leather product will settle into its own distinct form with use. Your leather product will mature into its own custom shape and style from the sun, rain and the miles. This maturing is natural and will enhance the custom quality of your Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Leather must be periodically cleaned and treated to maintain its appearance and extend its life. Clean and treat leather once a season or more frequently under adverse conditions.

CAUTION
Do not use bleach or detergents containing bleach on saddlebags, seats, tank panels or painted surfaces. Doing so can result in equipment damage. (00229a)

• Do not use ordinary soap to clean leather or fur. It could dry or remove the oils from the leather.
• Use ONLY a good quality saddle soap to clean leather. Be sure you rinse saddle soap off thoroughly before treating leather.
• Never try to dry leather quickly, using artificial means. Always let leather dry naturally, at room temperature.

1. Vacuum or blow dust off.
2. Thoroughly clean leather with a good quality saddle soap, following the manufacturer’s directions. Rinse thoroughly with clean sponge or cloth and water. Allow leather to dry.
3. Once the leather is dry, treat with a good quality leather treatment, such as LEATHERCARE (Part No. 98261-91).
4. Always allow the leather to dry completely before using.

WHITEWALL TIRES
Use a good quality, commercial whitewall cleaner and follow the manufacturer’s directions.

WHEEL CARE
Some vehicle’s wheels are aluminum and do not have a protective coating. Other vehicles have laced wheels with chrome-plated rims and zinc or chrome-plated spokes. Damage from harsh chemicals, acid-based wheel cleaners, brake dust and lack of maintenance can occur. Regular washing and the use of a corrosion protectant will help to maintain their original appearance. Harley-Davidson WHEEL AND TIRE CLEANER (Part No. 94658-98) is recommended for cleaning wheels and tires. Then use HARLEY GLOSS (Part No. 94627-98) to protect the wheel surfaces.

NOTES

• It is imperative that the wheels are cared for weekly to guard against pitting and corrosion.
• Corrosion of these components is not considered to be a defect in materials or workmanship.

Harley-Davidson recommends the following products

• WHEEL AND TIRE CLEANER (Part No. 94658-98): cleaner/degreaser for wheels, tires and engine.
• HARLEY GLOSS (Part No. 94627-98): all-purpose surface protection the provides UV protection and a gloss finish.

See a Harley-Davidson dealer for cleaning, polishing and waxing products.

WINDSHIELDS

CAUTION
Polycarbonate windscreens/windshields require proper attention and care to maintain. Failure to maintain polycarbonate properly can result in damage to the windscreen/windshield. (00483d)

• Do not clean in hot sun or high temperatures.
• Powdered, abrasive or alkaline cleanser will damage the windscreen/windshield.

CAUTION
Do not use harsh chemicals including rain sheeting products on Harley-Davidson windshields. They can cause dulling or hazing. If you want to use a windshield protectant on your windshield, try Harley Glaze Polish and Sealant (00231a)

CAUTION
Do not use benzine, paint thinner, gasoline or any other type of harsh cleaner on the windshield. Doing so will damage the windshield surface. (00232a)

NOTES

• To remove minor surface scratches use NOVUS® No. 2 SCRATCH REMOVER (Part No. 99836-94T).
• Covering the windshield with a clean, wet cloth for approximately 15-20 minutes before washing will make dried bug removal easier.

1. Use mild soap and warm water to wash the windshield.
2. Wipe dry with a soft, clean towel.

NOTE
To treat your Lexan windshield with water repellent use WINDSHIELD WATER REPELLENT TREATMENT (Part No. 99841-02).
