Vernal, are you talking an owners manual or service manual? I don't see a service manual on the Harley site. Can you tell me where to get one?

Thanks.

Default Coolant Level

Turn throttle to greater than 50 percent and hold for at least 3 seconds.
Coolant pump and fans will start.
Release throttle.
As the pump runs, continue to add coolant until filler neck remains topped off.
NOTE
Unlike operational mode, the pump and fans continue to run in bleed mode until ignition is turned off.
So I got the HI Temp and CEL and swapped out Coolant Temp Sensor and Water Pump. When I changed Water Pump I also removed the Thermostat. My coolant jug did NOT go down any!!!! I recovered about 12 oz for coolant and cleaned up a few more. Do you think I have a blockage, my bike is still throwing the same codes
