1000 mi. service..
Well...called the stealer this morning to book my 1000 mi. service...this is the 22 June .. he can get me in the 22 July...said I should have called when I had 300 mi. on it...I said that was 3 days ago, would that have made a difference?? He said no. So I asked if I should do an oil change myself...I would come in and buy what ever I needed..do the oil change to hold me over 'till I can get in. He said "sure ..good idea" (wasn't expecting that answer)....So.. haven't done an oil change on a Harley before...any advice?? Maybe just the engine oil 'till I can get the full service done or any other views on the matter?

Buy the service manual and do it all your self. Do all your checks and keep your reciepts.
I did mine and helped 2 others do there 1000 mile service. Besides the fluid changes and tire pressure everything else was still in check.

As far as a fluid change all you need is 2 allen head wrenches, a torx bit and maybe a filter wrench. Depending on were you buy the parts it costs about $50 to do it yourself.

I asked if it was a good time to apply for a job as a HD mechanic and they said they need one bad and if I knew for one...(don't think I would pass for one...not for long at least).. Ha Ha
