2016 Harley-Davidson FLHTKL Ultra Limited Low — Maintenance & Ownership Guide
Routine Maintenance
Key maintenance tasks to keep your 2016 Harley-Davidson FLHTKL Ultra Limited Low running reliably.
Engine Oil
Interval is every 5,000 miles. Requires 20W-50 motorcycle oil; check levels frequently as Twin Cams can vent oil into the air cleaner if overfilled.
Coolant Check
The Twin-Cooled system requires checking the coolant level in the reservoir (located in the right-side lower fairing) to prevent head overheating.
Brake Fluid Flush
Harley-Davidson mandates a brake fluid flush every 2 years, especially on ABS-equipped models, to prevent moisture-related ABS module failure.
Common Wear Items
Parts that wear over time on the 2016 Harley-Davidson FLHTKL Ultra Limited Low and should be inspected regularly.
Tires
The heavy weight (nearly 900 lbs) wears through the rear Dunlop Multi-Tread tire quickly, typically lasting 10k-15k miles depending on load.
Brake Pads
Reflex Linked Brakes apply both front and rear pressure; front pads often wear faster due to the weight of the bike.
Popular Upgrades
The most popular aftermarket upgrades for the 2016 Harley-Davidson FLHTKL Ultra Limited Low.
Windshield
The stock 6.5-inch windscreen on the Low model often causes significant head buffeting for riders over 5'7"; upgrading to a 10-inch or recurve shield is common.
Suspension
The 1-inch reduction in travel can make the ride harsh over bumps; owners often upgrade to aftermarket shocks (e.g., Legend or Ohlins) to restore comfort.
Common Replacement Parts
Parts that commonly need replacing on the 2016 Harley-Davidson FLHTKL Ultra Limited Low.
Water Pump
The original electric water pumps on 2014-2016 models are a high-failure item; many owners replace them with the updated 2017+ style pump kit.
Wheel Bearings
25mm sealed bearings are known to fail prematurely (sometimes under 20k miles); many owners upgrade to high-quality aftermarket bearings.
