Default warranty

You cant. Even if you go to Harley all you get is whats on the back of the contract for the extended warranty and whats in the owners manual for the factory warranty. No matter where you look or who you talk to that's all you can get and its not much
PS I tried to get hold of one of the reps for the extended warranty but it was impossible to get his or hers number

Here's a link to the HD ESP pamphlet. It looks like it was from 2013 so I don't know if anything changed.

You should be able to find some HD Warranty info in the owner manual. You can view the owners manual by going to the HD Service Info Portal

Reason I ask is because of a video on YouTube channel. It was serious with a little humor. With the motor company being so strict now on warranties and flagging bikes and denying claims. His parody of voiding the warranty if using non harley gas is a stretch but the rest of the video is serious and spot on.
I also want to ask with these stricter guidelines does harley have to do routine maintenance, ie fluid changes, to keep the warranty intact

MOCO reserves the right to deny warranty claims to anyone

NO. For the threhundredzillionth time, it is a violation of the Massey Ferguson act for a manufacturer to require routine maintenance work be done by their own dealership network. UNLESS they provide the service without charge to the consumer.
ANYONE, including the owner can perform the services. Thus has been the case since Richard Nixon was in the White House.

It's the Magnuson-Moss warranty act. No tractors or farm animals were harmed at the passing of this act.

I agree. My question is on a totally stock bike does the dealership have to do routine maintenance to keep the warranty intact?
With all I read here, after 40 yrs on harleys I dont want a voided warranty on a 30k bike bc I changed my own oil with syn 3
