Alright, just curious to find out from some of you guys, bought my bike with 4200 miles on it. They did the 5k service, I have put about 2700 miles on, about to leave on a 3-4k round trip depends on weather and time how far we go. Do I change oil now or after? Makes sense to me to do it after but with a 2 year extended warranty I don't want to void anything. Whats your opinion

 

Being how you could potentially end up with 6700 miles if it was mine I would go ahead change it, especially if the existing oil has been in there for months

 

Absolutely, change it first. If you're concerned about 'warranty' keep your receipts and a maintenance log, heck take a couple of pictures as you're doing the fluids and save them. Owners spend too much time fretting over HD's supposed warranty rather than making the bike their own, when I bought my '13 Wide Glide I proceeded from the notion the warranty doesn't exist and did what I wanted, I trust my abilities a lot more than the revolving door of here today gone tomorrow service tech's at the local dealers...

 

Change it. It's cheap as long as you do it yourself.

 

I'd change the engine oil and filter at least,,

 

I suppose I should also throw out there that I bought it from the dealer they did the 5k at 4280. I bought this past april, so oil hasn't been in there for months. I got a trip from Minnesota to Massachusetts this month, then in august MN to SD.

 

Ok, you have yourself convinced,, you might as well save the $25 it'll cost for oil and filter

 

If it`s dino oil, change it before. If it`s synthetic oil, change it when you get back. IMO.

 

I would either change it before the trip or find a place along the way and get it changed when it is actually due.

 

I was just getting your opinions, I did the tranny and oil/filter, running amsoil 20w50, so I don't know where someone got save yourself $25
