2014 Harley-Davidson FLHTK Electra Glide Ultra Limited — Maintenance & Ownership Guide
Routine Maintenance

Engine Oil
Requires 4 quarts of 20W-50 oil; standard interval is every 5,000 miles.
Coolant
Unique to Twin-Cooled models; use Harley-Davidson Extended Life Antifreeze. Check levels in the reservoir located in the right-side fairing lower.

Tires
The heavy weight of the FLHTK (nearly 900 lbs) causes rapid rear tire wear, especially when touring two-up. Dunlop Multi-Tread is the OEM standard.

Linked braking system can lead to more even but faster wear across all three sets of pads.
Drive Belt
Inspect for debris damage or cracking; typically lasts 50,000+ miles but requires proper tensioning.
