Lead Acid Battery to AGM
Battery technology has come a very long way since the 1970s. The conventional style, lead acid, battery that was originally used on Mike’s 1977 Shovelhead is not the ideal battery for today’s world. Here, Mike covers a topic where many Shovelhead owners may already be familiar. This is, upgrading from a conventional lead, acid battery to a maintenance-free AGM battery.

    In bought the first year Road King in 1994 (built in april), aqua pearl silver, the pulley splines were "nicely" worn away (= disappeared in rusty dust) at 10000 km. I got it under warranty (same width splines, still have PN somewhere, not sure if the 1994 wider one, came that after june ?), mechanic said 1 in 3 were not torqued down correctly in the factory, and I was allowed to repair it myself. The "5th gear" splines were not damaged at all, mechanic thought because I was a "carefull" rider. I simply noticed 2 km from home before a traffic light just off the high way that I had no power to the rear wheel as if clutch was slipping (no loose belt etc.). After this repair I rode it until sold at 74000 km in 2001, had no problems anymore on this nor on other items. Then I had the 1998 FLHTCI overstock in 2001 at very much reduced price (same price as the Road King in 1994 ! ), second generation injection system, only problem was that it gave once in every long holiday trip a hick-up as if one injection (or spark) was missing. I adjusted the idle myself, so not according to the book, but then you need about three times (one time in the dealer workshop may not be good enough), because of removing the airfilter to get at the small torx throttle adjuster screw, and then the cold idle stepper motor screw 2mm allen outside. Thus I managed to get cold idle at 1000 rpm (instead of 2000 rpm at some people), and warm nicely at 800 rpm (instead of 1000 rpm advised because of generator output etc.). If needed (maybe at longer idling) I kept it on 1000 rpm myself, and back to 800 rpm just before sliding silently into first gear. Rode this bike until 2016 sold at 91000 km, no problems with many holiday trips in Europe (I run always totally stock). Then I bought the last (Touring) Twin Cam (I did not know this yet then) 2016 FLHTK, which is my holiday bike now. Custom colour Cosmic Blue Pearl, and also still stock, only the electric water pump failed and replaced it myself "by the new kit", no warranty in 2022, this is a known weak point, different story.......

    Can you add more detail about wiring rear speakers? Have a 2011 Ultra Limited. Not sure how to determine which wires are the rear speakers. And, not sure where to splice once I do know which are the correct speaker wires.

  • @Jim-ku6ry
    @Jim-ku6ry Před měsícem

    You don't have to go through the remove the negative cable stuff. Remove the positive lead. Pull the battery out as far as it will go. Lift the end of the battery up and it will give you enough room to remove the negative line from the battery. I have done this many times as I remove the battery at the end of every season.
