Okay after much consideration, I have decided to venture out and do my own 1000 mile service. I have several HD mechanic friends who have volunteered to help me out if I get stuck. I do have the service manual, but I don't have the owners manual (I need this, as it tell you what HD checks). Can anyone tell me what to check?
I will be keeping all reciepts and I will even take pics of the entire service, for HD warrenty purposes.
Any insight, input and help would be really appreciated.
The main things that are changed in the 1000 mile service is the tranny fluid, engine oil and filter, and the primary oil. Did you buy the bike used because if you bought it new the dealer should have given you the owners manual.
I thought this was covered in the Service Manual? I only have the service manual and the parts manual so it had to be one of them and I can't imagine it was the parts manual.
It gives you all of the maintenance intervals and what the dealer checkes/replaces at each. It is in the beginning of the service manual I believe.
