Thanks rooti I stand corrected. My 04 Dyna service manual states "A" adjust.

No big deal Ridewva. Just goes to show you its been at least 7 years since the dealer updated their 1K check list.

Picked up my bike from the dealer and they made the point of telling me verbally and in writing that they checked the bearing, it was in specs, so there was nothing to adjust. They say they think the fork seals are fine because if they were bad more oil would be coming out but I should keep an eye on them. Sheesh Why don't I not trust them?

The bike sure does seem to run better with the dyno oil outta there, maybe it's just my imagination...

I'm looking forward to the next service done in my garage....

I'm sure your Dyna is too! Not many mechanics will lavish the same attention on our bikes that we do.
