Review on Comprehensive Clymer Repair Manual for Harley FLH FLT FXR 84-98: Expert Guidance & Detailed Instructions by Nick Tucker

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Inferior on several important issues.

I had high hopes for the service manual but having used it for two projects (clutch service and wheel bearing) I have to say I'm not impressed with the accuracy of the information. For the clutch assembly, one set of torque specs is in ft-lbs when it should be in ft-lbs, which caused me to break the bolt. For tapered bearings in the front wheel, it is recommended to add shims to eliminate excessive play in the bearing, while the correct way is to remove shims to eliminate excessive play. Another thing is that it mentions a colored label on the tire. shows the lightest spot on the tire when the opposite is true. It also covers too many different models and it can be difficult to ensure you are using the correct specs and procedures for your bike. However, I don't know if there is a better alternative for the money.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • It's OK
