Default 2,500 miles service?

My dealer has a price listed on the wall ($131.00) for 2,500 mile service, but my owners manual says nothing about it. It goes from 1,000 miles to 5,000. What is this service and is it required? FWIW, my ride is an '09 Street Glide.

It's just an oil change for those of you that split the service interval.I just go by the OM.
Maybe they are doing more with that $131 price tag?

$131 and FREE vasoline. Forget you ever saw that. Your fine til 5000 unless you want to do and oil change. And that can happen very easy in your garage.
