Default Harley Service Schedule*


Here's a printable link on a dealer page to show the services performed at the different miles on the various models... HERE

Here's also the wrenching section on the HD web page that you fill in the vin number and mileage and it will give you the services to perform, plus any recalls also... HERE

After reading this thread, I will be doing my own maintenance. Thats a lot of money to be spending on just inspections and oil.

Yes that's pretty much what it is. I'll try to attach my 10,000 mile checklist that I made for myself (I just tried and can't get it to downsize to fit what will load here - if someone wants a copy PM me and I'll send you one via email).

It's essentially changing all the fluids and oil filter, cleaning the air filter element, checking the torque on critical fasteners (motor mount bolts, frame bolts, brake caliper bolts), inspecting the brake pads, inspecting the brake, fuel and oil lines/fittings for leaks. Checking the brake fluid levels, inspecting the tires, greasing the steeringhead bearing, checking the clutch adjustment, inspect exhaust system for leaks, inspect the drive belt condition and tension, inspect and lube the jiffy stand if necessary, check operation of the electrical switches, lights, etc.

Great to see so many doing the maintenance yourself.

Downside to this is now the dealers will recognize the loss and raise the price of the service manuals from around $60 to $500 each.

Every rider should have a service manual. Period. Changing fluids is easy, it saves money better spent on chrome, alcohol, or whatever, and it gets you to know your bike. I am amazed at supposedly big boy Harley riders that act like a girl when it comes to maintaining it. Disgusted, actually. Man up and change your frigging oil!
