SERVICE
CLUTCH CABLE INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT The clutch cable should
be checked, lubricated and adjusted at all service intervals and every 2,500 miles thereafter.
If you experience slippage with the clutch engaged (clutch lever released) or dragging
with the clutch disengaged (clutch lever pulled in) see a Big Dog Motorcycles Dealer or
Authorized Service Center.
ALTERNATOR CHARGING RATE AND VOLTAGE REGULATOR The
alternator output is controlled by the voltage regulator. This unit requires no scheduled
maintenance. If any electrical system trouble is experienced that might be related to the
alternator or voltage regulator, contact a Big Dog Motorcycles Dealer or Authorized Service
Center.
BATTERY SERVICING AND INSTALLATION This motorcycle is equipped with
a maintenance free battery. Battery connections should be cleaned and torqued to
60 in lbs. every 2,500 miles. To service the battery:
1. Remove the seat.
2. Disconnect battery cables (negative first, positive last).
3. Clean the cable connectors and battery terminal with a wire brush or sandpaper to
remove oxidation.
4. Connect the cables to the proper terminals (positive first, negative last). Do not over
