this is the sb for swapping front disc
http://www.msnusers.com/HarleyTechTa...achments/49047

 

Thanks for the heads-up on the service bulletin.

My front brakes squeal like a pig. Every time I come to a stop at an intersection people look at me like they want to say something.

I've got a high frequency hearing loss so the squealing is not that loud. I can imagine what other are hearing.

I'm calling the Harley Dealer Service Department tomorrow.

 

I don't WANT a (another) .NET password. Friggin' MS. I've got one.

Thanks anyway.

Pete

 

Speaking of Harley Davidson Service Bulletins, is there a single source for up-to-date service bulletins other than the dealer?

 

Can't read it. Can anyone post it here? What's the bulletin cover? Thanks.

 

Yeah, I'd appreciate anyone that can post this so us common folk can read it. :-)

 

Here's the best I can do.

SERVICE BULLETIN
M-1192 July 10, 2006
SWAPPING AND ALIGNING FIXED DUAL DISCS
Purpose
It has recently been determined that swapping and aligning
the front brake discs on motorcycles having Þxed dual disc
brakes can signiÞcantly reduce brake squeal.
Therefore, effective June 26, 2006, the front brake discs will
be swapped and aligned on all production motorcycles
having Þxed dual disc brakes. The running change moves the
former left side brake disc stamped P/N 44156-00 LEFT to
the right side of the hub, and the former right side brake disc
stamped P/N 44136-00 RIGHT to the left side of the hub. The
vent holes are then aligned before the discs are fastened to
the hub.
Also, in the interest of promoting customer satisfaction,
Harley-Davidson will swap and align the front brake discs on
affected motorcycles under warranty, but
only
when
responding to customer complaints of excessive brake
squeal. See REQUIRED DEALER ACTION.
Motorcycles Affected
All 2000-2006 model motorcycles, as well as those 2007
models built before June 26, 2006, having Þxed dual disc
brakes that exhibit excessive front brake squeal.
Required Dealer Action
NOTE
Obtain the applicable service manual for all removal and
installation instructions.
1. Take note of the brake disc stampings. If left side brake
disc is stamped P/N 44156-00 LEFT and right side brake
disc is stamped P/N 44136-00 RIGHT, then swap the
brake discs as follows:
NOTE
Another way to determine whether the brake discs have been
swapped is to look at any of the five slots. Note that one end
of the slot is bulb shaped and is more fully round than the
other. On wheels where the brake discs have
NOT
been
swapped, the bulb shape is on the trailing end of the slot
when referencing the direction of wheel rotation. On wheels
where the brake discs have been swapped, the bulb shape is
on the leading end of the slot. See Figure 1 and Table 1.

In the interest of preserving customer safety and satisfaction, always check for outstanding recalls whenever any motorcycle is brought into your
dealership for either maintenance or service.

Figure 2. Perform Alignment Check

a. Remove the front wheel. Remove both brake discs
from hub.
b. Place the inboard sides of the brake discs together.
Be sure the stampings (minimum thickness, part
number and location) on both brake discs are on the
outboard side.
c. Rotate discs as necessary until all vent holes are in
alignment. Holding brake discs aligned, use a magic
marker or paint pen to make a line across the edge
of both brake discs.
NOTE

Even if the brake disc locations are swapped, the rider will not
experience a reduction in brake noise unless the brake discs
are aligned.

d. Keeping the paint marks aligned, install brake discs
to hub using new screws. Be sure that the former
left side brake disc stamped P/N 44156-00 LEFT is
installed

 

do this service bulletin comes in any file format? (PDF)

I'd like to have it to put in my archive so I can give a better orientation to my fellow riders.

thanks

Is there a separate forum section/location just for service bulletins? If not, might be a good place to keep them all organized for future reference.

 

sorry, trying to download as a pdf file but it wont support the file. any suggestions??
