I'm doing this post to record the various services that happened on my way to 100K.

A couple of years after the stealership I bought my Sporty from changed hands they decided to change the cost of service from $45 to $65. A big jump for somebody who bought a Sportster because it is affordable. My last two services have been done at: http://thegreasemonkey.org/default.aspx
We are currently in the process of the 100K service. A clip was on the drain plug to the trasnsmission, very disturbing. Tools are on order and once I get my posts from 2002 to today I will post the details of doing a 100k mile service.

At this service the speedo sensor was cleaned. The speedo had been misreading. This occurs intermittently to this day. Could be water getting past the sensor o-ring? It is just one of those things that happens to some of us.
