Default Torque Specs and Service Schedule

Gentlemen,

This has probably been asked already, but I couldn't find answers. I recently purchased 2013 Road King (110th Anny edition) and I was wondering if torque specs and service/maintenance schedule are available anywhere online. I have an extended warranty, but looking forward to performing basic maintenance on my own (since youtube has tons of great videos) and I need some basic info like bolts torque values and what needs to be checked/inspected at certain mileage. I know that those details are probably in service manual, but HD wants $150 for it, I can't justify if I really need it since a lot of info related to maintenance/repairs is available online these days.

Thanks!

The factory service manual is the best investment you can make if you plan on doing any maintenance yourself. It's less than the cost of one dealer service.

Went ahead and bought a digital copy from Ebay, It's got Service Manual, Owner's Manual, Parts Catalog, Accessories Catalog, Electrical Diagnostic, etc.

$14. It was most likely converted from the paper copy. I got instant download link and they mailing me a CD. I already downloaded pdfs and they all look good. They also have hyperlinks in content for fast navigation.

Gentlemen, the MoCo doesn't produce digital copies of it's service info such as FSMs, so any like those described above are illegal pirate copies. We shouldn't be promoting them on HDF - it's in the rules we each agreed to abide by when joining! The genuine book is cheap enough from your local friendly dealer.

Plus you’ll just end up getting grease on your tablet instead of on the edge of the pages of the manual where it belongs!
