50,000 miles and I have questions
I have a 2015 FLHTK that is going to hit the 50,000 mile mark on my next service around it’s 3 yr birthday. I’m wondering what if anything needs to be inspected or replaced on the engine to keep it healthy. I’ve been running Mobile1 V-Twin, Primary+ and Bel-Ray 85/140 since new. Runs and sounds like a new bike just want to keep it strong for another 50,000 and yes my goal with this bike is 100,000+ miles.

My '15 RGS just rolled over 50k. Here are my suggestions:
1. If you haven't yet replaced both wheel bearings, do it. You're on borrowed time.
2. If you haven't had your front steering head bearings inspected/serviced/replaced, do it.
3. Current recommendation is to flush ABS systems every two years. I haven't done it yet, but I probably will.

Regular maintenance has always been up to date or ahead of schedule. That’s not what I’m concerned about. The manual didn’t tell me to change the wheel bearing but that has been done twice, the manual did not tell me to change the compensator but that has been done twice also. I’m looking for weak points that will fail on the engine that can be prevented if caught in time. I don’t want to be across country and boom it goes.
