Default Oil Change

I'm staying with conventional oil for my new wide glide. How many miles should I change it? Every 1,000? If I switch to synthetic, how many miles? Thanks for the input.

If you got a new bike you should have got an owners manual, read it. The service intervals are in it.

after the 1000 mile service, change it at 5000 mile intervals. doesnt matter if you run syn or conventional. both are 5000 miles.

+1 on checking with the owner manual. My 2000 FXDX says 1500 for first oil change and then every 5000 miles. FYI that is the same on all, engine, trans and primary.
