Installation Instructions
CE-84T-99
The
CE-84T-99 is designed to upgrade the charging system on 1999 -2003 FLH-FLT Twin
Cam models.
These are generalized instructions and are not
intended to be all-inclusive. For more detail see a service manual on your model.
Alternator Removal
1) Disconnect negative
battery terminal.
2) Drain primary case oil.
3) Remove outer primary
cover.
4) Consult appropriate
service manual and remove compensator sprocket.
Note: After
several thousand miles it may be possible to remove the compensator sprocket
and chain adjustor shoe without removing the clutch. Caution: Do not put
excessive side force on chain.
5) Remove output shaft
extension. Take note of all shims and spacers between output shaft extension
and rotor.
6) Remove the
rotor.
Note: the magnets in the 48 amp rotors are significantly stronger
than normal rotors. It is recommended that you use a special rotor
remover/installer tool such as (HD-441771).
7) Unplug regulator from stator and remove the plastic plug receptacle from stator side. On 1999 to 2001 models, remove the blue secondary lock us a small hook or long #6 wood screw in the small hole in the middle. The blue lock plate will pull out. Using a small screwdriver release the plastic locking tab and remove each wire one at a time. On 2002 to 2003 models remove the terminal position assurance clip on the backside of plug. Each terminal has 2 lock tabs. Using 2 paper clips or #16 gage solid wires. Insert one on each side of a terminal from the front side of the plug receptacle and pull the wire out the backside.
8) Remove 4 stator-mounting screws. From the out side of
the case, push
the protruding lip of the stator wire grommet into the engine case using a
small flat blade screw diver. Pull the wires through the case while removing the stator.
Alternator Installation
1) Install stator wire
through the in case. Pull gently on the wires to seat the case sealing grommet.
On twin cam models the first lip on the grommet well come all the way through
and seat on the out side of the case.
2) Mount the stator to engine
case with new mounting screws supplied. Screws have thread-locking compound
already applied. Torque screws to 50-70 in-lbs.
! CAUTION!
When installing the rotor, keep fingers away from
edge. The magnetic force may cause rotor to suddenly be drawn inward and could
pinch fingers if in the way.
4) Install the rotor slowly.
Take care not to let the magnets hit the stator. Do not let the rotor snap in
to place or magnet damage may occur.
Note: no shims are used
under the rotor on Twin Cam models.
5) Install shims removed in
step 6 of removal.
Note:
This kit is designed as a direct replace for the stock charging system on 2004
–2005 FLH-FLT. No primary chain alignment should be necessary
7) Install compensator
sprocket with chain adjuster
Shoe, and clutch if removed.
8) Adjust primary chain.
9) Check primary chain
alignment.
10) Install outer primary and
other parts removed.
11) Add oil to primary case.
Regulator
-Remove Old Regulator
1) Disconnect negative battery terminal
2) Unplug regulator/stator
connectors.
3) Disconnect regulator B+
wire from the main circuit breaker located under the seat.
4) Disconnect regulator GND.
Wire from the ¼’ ground stud located under the seat.
Take note of the wire routing
and cut the necessary wire ties and remove wires.
Note: if you tie a piece of fishing line to the ring terminal
of old regulator wire before pulling wire out. You can use this cord to pull
the new wire in place.
5) Unbolt regulator and
remove.
Install New Regulator
Regulator Installation
Note: The bottom of the feet
on the regulator are cut at an angle to lean the regulator away from the oil
filter. Be sure to mount the regulator so it leans forward away from the oil
filter.
1) Connecting wires to
regulator
Note: When connecting wires, place the regulator
upside down with something soft under fins so paint won’t be scratched.
A- Regulator B+ wire is 50” long. One end has yellow
marker on it. Connect end labeled B+ to B+ terminal on regulator.
B- The ground wire is labeled GND on both ends. Connect
the end with the smaller ring terminal to regulator GND terminal on regulator.
Note: For best appearance, position wires to follow
the contour of the regulator legs.
C- To connect the AC wires place the regulator
upside-down on suitable stand in front of front motor mount. The
regulator-shipping box should work.
Connect one AC
Wire from stator to each AC
terminal on the regulator. It doesn’t matter which one goes where.
2) Mount the new regulator.
The regulator should sit directly on the frame and lean forward. If it leans
back turn it around. Reuse the old wire claps. Install them on top of the
regulator mounting foot. Reuse the
stock ¼’ nuts to fasten the regulator to the frame.
3) Rout wire labeled “Silver
post main breaker” to the main circuit breaker under the seat and connect to
the silver post.
4) Rout wire labeled GND. and
connect it to the ¼” ground stud on the frame under the seat.
5) Check the routing of all
wires to be sure they are not in a vulnerable position. Keep wires away from
exhaust pipes and moving parts. Be sure wires are not in the very bottom of
lower frame or they will get pinched if you bottom out.
Replace all wire ties previously cut and add new ones
where necessary.
6) Reconnect battery and
start motor. Test battery voltage. Voltage should run 14.2 to 14.6 depending on
what model you have.
Have A Good Ride!!
