Harley Davidson Dyna 2009-2021 User Manual
People liked the Dyna models because they had a classic look, powerful speed, and a well-balanced chassis. From 2009 to 2021, models like the Street Bob, Low Rider, Super Glide, Wide Glide, and Switchback were part of the Dyna range. Most Dyna types came with air-cooled V-twin engines, which were known for their torque and the unique Harley-Davidson sound they made. These engines had a good mix of power and dependability, which made riding on both city streets and open roads exciting. The Dyna models looked like classic cruisers in terms of their appearance. They usually had long, low frames, wide handlebars, wire-spoke wheels, and a range of colours and styles. The Dyna lineup took inspiration from Harley-Davidson’s past while adding modern touches for a classic look.
One thing that made the Dyna models stand out was that they had a twin-shock back suspension system. This made the bikes more comfortable to ride and helped them handle better. This setup gave the Dyna models a good mix between comfort and responsiveness, so they were good for both long-distance cruising and fast riding. The Dyna line also had choices for customization, so riders could make their bikes look the way they wanted them to. Harley-Davidson made a lot of extras for the Dyna models, like seats, exhaust systems, handlebars, and more, to make them look better and work better.

Carefully read and observe the rules contained in the RIDING TIPS booklet accompanying this Owner’s Manual. Read and familiarize yourself with the contents of the MOTORCYCLE HANDBOOK for your state.
- Before starting engine, check for proper operation of brake, clutch, shifter, throttle controls, and correct fuel and oil supply.
Warning
Do not use aftermarket parts and custom-made front forks which can adversely affect performance and handling. Removing or altering factory-installed parts can adversely affect performance and could result in death or serious injury. (00001a)
- Use only Harley-Davidson-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.

Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (00004f)

NOTE
We recommend that you obtain information and formal training in the correct motorcycle riding technique. In the United States, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation® offers beginning and advanced rider safety courses. Call (949)727-3227 for information.
Warning
Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive speed can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00008a)
- Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. Always reduce speed when poor driving conditions exist. High speed increases the influence of any other condition affecting stability and increases the possibility of loss of control.
- Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions. Any two-wheeled vehicle may be subject to upsetting forces such as wind blasts from passing trucks, holes in the pavement, rough road surfaces, rider control error, etc. These forces may influence the handling characteristics of your motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed and guide the motorcycle with a relaxed grip to a controlled condition. Do not brake abruptly or force the handlebar. This may aggravate an unstable condition.
- Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcycle and as low as possible to minimize the change in the motorcycle’s center of gravity. Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the vehicle and do not load bulky items too far behind the rider or add weight to the handlebars or front forks. Do not exceed the maximum specified load in each saddlebag.
NOTE
New riders should gain experience under various conditions while driving at moderate speeds.
- Operate your motorcycle defensively. Remember, a motorcycle does not afford the same protection as an automobile in an accident. One of the most common accident situations occurs when the driver of the other vehicle fails to see or recognize a motorcycle and turns left into the on-coming motorcyclist. Operate only with a headlamp on.
