Hi folks, I just bought a 2000 dyna fxd and I need to do the basic maintenance, inspection cover removal, oil and transmission lub change. Can you recommend a tool kit that could do this, I have tools but it's not what I need for a Harley.
Hope you can help, Thanks, Bill

 

First of all, welcome to the forum.

Second, try doing a search under the forum ("Search this Forum" tab, upper right corner). There have been many great discussions as what types of tool kits and basic tools. Good luck.

 

Here's the tools I use on my 2003 FDX for the regular service jobs.

Metric sizes overview is in the ***dyna models metric sizes database***


Torx bits, AF and metric Allen head bits and L spanners, AF and metric hex sockets:



AF and metric spanner sets:



Circlip plier for inside clips (clutch)



Multi meter for electronics:



Edit: Torx T27 bit for derby cover:

 

Thank you for all your help, did the search and found a lot of ideas as to what tools I will need to start off...thanks again

 

If you plan to change your own brake pads, fork oil, etc... you'll want to consider getting a motorcycle lift. As you've already found out, the search tool will usually yield many relevant threads. Good luck and welcome.

 

The best tool you can buy is the factory service manual for your model and your year. You will need it if you do anything more than basic maintenance.
Look on Ebay or Amazon, or order one from your dealer.
