I had Harley do the 1,000 mile check up, then I did the 5,000 and 10,000. I use Rev Tech oil and the longer filter. 15,000 rapidly approaching.

I change all the fluids, adjust the clutches and check the chian once a year. Both bikes see about 3500-5000 miles a year. I just did both bikes this past weekend so thay have fresh fluids for winter storage and ready to go in the spring. HD calls for every 5K afte the first 1K service, but I just do mine once a year as long as i don't go over 5k miles that year.

Just grab a 5QT jug of Mobil-1 15W50 synthetic auto oil at Walmart for ~$20-25, and use the HD filters because they are 30 micron. The other filters that are available go down to 10 or even 5 micron and are not recommended for EVO engines....Plus, most other filters have a bypass valve in them which when it kicks in, it stops filter you oil and your running unfilter oil through the engine.
