Probably still a bit tight. My mpg continued to improve for the first 2 or 3 thousand miles as the motor loosened up. Still only get about 50, so allowing for the fact that UK gallons are a bit bigger than US ones, it sounds about right. The bike gets ridden fairly smartly and we don't have any straight roads in Wales, so its up and down the gears all the time - doesn't help the mileage

 

You guys check your mileage?

D'oh! I knew I was forgetting something

Ride safe.

I will scan a lager image of it an POST this weekend.

 

NOTICE OF AMENDMENT TO OWNER’S MANUAL
2006 MODEL DYNATM MOTORCYCLES
Dear Customer:
In order to monitor the quality of our products, it has become customary in recent years for
Harley-Davidson to implement an Initial Care Program on any significant new product changes.
These programs are generally managed through the Company’s authorized dealers during the
motorcycle’s introduction period.
In keeping with this practice, Harley-Davidson implemented an Initial Care Program for the allnew
2006 model year Dyna motorcycles at the time of introduction. This program allows Harley-
Davidson to better monitor initial repair trends on this new motorcycle family and provide rapid
resolution to customer concerns. The Initial Care Program for the 2006 Dyna motorcycles differs
from the service interval information published in your owner’s manual:
♦ A lubricant change for the primary chain and transmission is now specified at
1,000 miles, and at every 5,000 miles thereafter, and
♦ An inner primary bearing replacement is required at 15,000-mile intervals.
Harley-Davidson has preliminarily determined the inner primary bearing on your 2006 Dyna
motorcycle will require replacement at 15,000 mile intervals. The bearing will be replaced by
your authorized Harley-Davidson dealer at 15,000 miles and at subsequent 15,000-mile intervals,
at no cost to you. This service requirement may change over time as we make improvements and
monitor repair trends on 2006 Dyna motorcycles. Your authorized Harley-Davidson dealer will
be your best source of any updates to this requirement.
Please acknowledge that you have read and understood these provisions regarding your new
Dyna motorcycle by signing below. We request that you keep your copy of this notification with
your Owner’s Manual so that you have it for future reference.
Steve Phillips
Vice President – Quality and Customer Service

Sounds like somebody is ready for the weekend....

 

I picked up my black denim street bob on 9/15/05. I want to get rid of the stock exhaust, I am looking at the screaming eagle slash downs. The dealership is telling me that I need to put on a Race Tuner along with a stage 1 kit. I noticed from your pics that you don't have the stock exhaust. Did you have to use a race tuner or power commander, or is the dealership just trying to get me to spend $400+.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Ride Safe.

You can run the SE slash downs without doing anything to the bike. Some people say their bike runs great like this. On my '06 Dyna, I tried it and thought the power was kind of flat in the mid-range and upper RPMS. I got the Stage I EFI download from the dealer and now the bike runs perfect. SERT is a nice thing to have and it probably is needed to squeeze out every HP from the motor, but your dealer is wrong, it is not required if you leave the air cleaner stock. And if you want to add the SE AC, then all you need is the download.
