What changed for 2013 · Standard

Factory identity and powertrain
MY2013 FLSTC retains the 1,690 cc balanced Twin Cam 103B, six-speed Cruise Drive, belt final drive, 16-inch laced tube-type wheels and optional ABS; standard and 110th Anniversary factory trim share the FLSTC identity. Manufacturer source
Service capacities
The exact MY2013 manual records a 2.8 L engine-oil capacity with filter; final level remains controlled by the hot-check procedure. Manufacturer source
Wheels and tyre repair
The exact FLSTC parts record retains laced wheels, inner tubes and rim protection, so puncture repair requires tube service after wheel removal. Manufacturer source
Factory colour and image
The selected-year page switches to the exact MY2013 complete-motorcycle studio image, preserving the model year's pictured factory colour and trim. Manufacturer source

Repair or replace a punctured inner tube

  1. 01Move fully clear of traffic, switch the ignition off and support the Heritage Softail Classic securely.
  2. 02Remove the affected wheel only with the exact service-manual procedure and the fasteners confirmed on the motorcycle; recover the motorcycle when that procedure or those tools are unavailable.
  3. 03Fully deflate the tube, protect the laced rim and lift one bead without pinching the tube.
  4. 04Remove the puncturing object and inspect the tyre, rim flap, rim and tube. Patch a serviceable puncture or fit the matching MT90B16 front or 150/80B16 rear tube.
  5. 05Refit the bead, inflate gradually and verify an even bead line. Reinstall the wheel to the exact service-manual sequence and torque values.
  6. 06Restore brake pressure, set the documented cold pressure and complete a slow recheck before returning to service.

Inspect drive-belt condition and deflection

  1. 01Switch the ignition off, select neutral and secure the motorcycle upright where the rear wheel can be rotated safely.
  2. 02Inspect the full belt for cuts, cracks, missing teeth, edge wear and embedded debris.
  3. 03Apply exactly 10 lbf with the belt gauge at the model's inspection window and compare deflection with the exact owner-manual table.
  4. 04Do not adjust from a generic value. Obtain the exact service procedure when deflection or alignment is outside the model-year limit.

Isolate the battery safely

  1. 01Switch the ignition off and follow the exact owner-manual seat or side-cover removal sequence.
  2. 02Disconnect the negative battery cable first, then the positive cable.
  3. 03Keep both terminals isolated from the frame and each other while work is underway.
  4. 04Reconnect positive first and negative last, then confirm the motorcycle powers up without a warning or hot connection.
