What grade of gas should I use in my Harley? ›Use a good quality unleaded gasoline. Use at least 91 (95 RON) pump octane (R + M)/2. Octane rating is usually found on the pump. Remove fuel filler cap slowly and fill fuel tank slowly to prevent spillage.
What is high mileage for a Softail? ›For these motorcycles, the high mileage range is anywhere between 20,000 to 30,000 miles. Larger motorcycles, like Harley-Davidson, can usually take more miles without their engines being worn down as quickly. For these bikes, the high mileage point is around 40,000 to 50,000 miles.
How long can fuel sit in a Harley? ›You should not leave unstabilized gas in a tank for more than 30 days. After that time it will become destabilized. However, you can add a fuel stabilizer that will ensure your gas can sit for up to six months. Keep reading to learn more about fuel stabilizers for your motorcycle.
Can I ride my Harley without a gas cap? ›There's not really an immediate danger if you've just lost it and need to get somewhere to replace it, but know that if you get in an accident and fuel starts splashing and pouring onto the bike, you, or the engine; then a fire could quickly become a real problem. Don't plan on going for a ride without a fuel cap.
What is the difference between a Heritage Softail and a Heritage Softail Classic? ›While these two bikes are for the most part identically equipped, the Softail® Deluxe does get an electronic throttle control, with standard cruise control. The Heritage Softail® Classic is not offered with cruise control. However, both come standard with anti-lock brakes and can be had with a security system.
How much horsepower does a 1990 Heritage Softail have? ›
Harley Davidson Softails require one quart of primary fluid. Be sure to check your owner's manual or the AMSOIL Product Guide for the correct primary oil capacity for your bike. Once you've filled the primary case with fluid, double check the fluid level visually.

A small car can normally hold roughly 12 gallons of gas. A larger car can hold up to 15 gallons of gas and, in some cases, even more.
The gauge is marked with numbers that look a lot like a car's fuel gauge: F, ¾, ½, ¼. A red marker or float tells you how much fuel you have left; if the marker is at the bottom of the gauge or not visible, your tank is empty (or close to it).
How much is the fuel tank capacity? ›Automotive fuel tanks
A larger fuel-tank results in a greater range for the car between refills, however the weight and space requirements of a larger tank are undesirable, especially in smaller cars. The average fuel tank capacity for cars is 50–60 L (12–16 US gal).
We recommend oil change of a quality Harley-Davidson after 2,500 miles, after the initial inspection of 1,000 miles. The bike can be run up to 5,000 to 6,000 miles using Semi-synthetic oil. However, fully synthetic oil may be used for every 7,000 to 10,000 miles, as per Rips & Rides.
What is the top speed of the Softail standard? ›The final drive is a carbon-reinforced belt, and the overall drive ratio turn in a top speed around 110 mph.
What is the best Harley fuel mileage? ›A five-gallon fuel tank and an estimated 47 mpg should get you over 200 miles between visits to the filling station.
What happens if I put 87 in my Harley? ›Using higher octane fuel will reduce premature combustion. It still varies from engine to engine, however. Many Harley owners have ran 87 octane in their Twin Cam bikes without pinging, and have gotten a lot of years out of their motorcycles. But some have had to stick with higher octane to keep it humming smoothly.
Can you run 93 octane in a Harley? ›Every engine manufacturer specifies a minimum octane rating requirement for fuel. The majority of motorcycle engines, including all current Harley-Davidson engines, require 91 octane or higher (Premium) fuel, thanks to high compression ratios.
What is the best fuel for old motorcycles? ›
The first, & perhaps most important point to note is that classic motorcycles should run fine on unleaded petrol, without the need for a lead substitute additive.
What are the benefits of a Softail? ›The softail reduces turbulence to keep you comfortable behind the wheel. The added suspension system absorbs more of the bumps and cracks for a quieter ride. You will still experience some bumps, but not nearly as much as you would if you were riding a hardtail.
Are softails good for long rides? ›It has a low seat, with many of them having no suspension at all. This means they offer what some people consider to be the ultimate in comfort over long distances; you can sit on one for hours and feel very little pain or even discomfort at all.
Is a Softail a good bike? ›A lot of Dallas riders use Softail® Heritage Classic for touring and say the bike is very comfortable for the long haul. For many it feels more nimble and sporty than a true touring bike. It's also lighter, so there's better gas mileage and acceleration.
Is it OK to let a Harley idle? ›According to Harley-Davidson, carbureted models should be started on the enricher and allowed to idle for maybe 30 seconds; after that you can push the enricher back in as soon as the engine runs smoothly, and, of course, ride away.
Should I drain old gas from motorcycle? ›Fuel stabilizer only has a shelf life of a few years, so that old stuff on the shelf isn't going to help. If your fuel absolutely stinks, you should drain it out and start with fresh fuel. If you are unsure about draining the tank yourself, bring it over to the shop and we can take care of it.
Why do you have to lift the tank on a Harley? ›For Sportsters：The tank lift enhances the look of the bike, as well as reducing buffeting. Additionally, the tank lift allows for the unsightley wires above the engine to be discretely hidden in the new found space under the tank.
What happens if you run out of gas while riding a motorcycle? ›Thus, running out of fuel will likely cause damage to the fuel pumps and injectors first, before causing damage to your engine. When you run out of fuel, your fuel pump and fuel injectors will run out of lubricant too, and they will likely be the first parts to fail if you constantly run your tank to the last drop.
Can you ride a Harley without mufflers? ›By removing your muffler you increase your chances of burning your exhaust valves, melting plastics or your boots due to the change in heat distribution, and possible backfiring. Why risk harming your engine to make your bike louder?
Are locking gas caps any good? ›Locking fuel caps are a great way to prevent fuel theft. While there are ways around it, they will prevent most opportunistic thieves, though it may not do anything to stop a dedicated thief. Someone who is willing to drill a hole in your gas tank is not going to be deterred by having to deal with a locking fuel cap.
What happens if a fuel tank is not vented? ›
The fuel tank may build excessive pressure due to a blocked vent. This could cause fuel to spray on occupants or bystanders when opening the fuel cap, potentially causing injury. Additionally, if an ignition source was present, this could create a risk of fire, causing injury and/or damage to property.
Should the vent on a gas tank be open or closed? ›It needs to be open when operating your motor. During storage, the vent must be kept closed to prevent evaporation and loss of your fuel as well as to prevent dangerous fumes from escaping, which could cause an explosion. This is especially true if your tank is stored in a locker or holding box.
What does Softail mean on a motorcycle? ›Softail Bodies Mean Rear Suspension
While a classic hardtail body includes both rear and front suspension systems in the same frame, the innovative softail body contains a separate mini frame for the rear suspension. This innovation allows for a much smoother ride overall.
The Softail® has rear wheel suspension hidden away under body panels held in place with a swingarm. They're soft on your tail, hence the name. Models produced between 1984 and 2017 have shock absorbers along the bike's axis. On 2018 and later bikes, the shocks are under the seat.
