Thanks everyone for the replies!

I am an ASE Master technician, so I'm comfortable with my skills, but I work on cars and am not intimately familiar with Harley motors. Just nuts and bolts in the end though...

However, sometimes Life makes the decision easier. My fridge took a crap last night, and now the wife wants all new appliances. I would like to throw my dealer the work and foster that relationship, but gotta save where I can. I'll get the supplies from the dealer...

I've got the manual and the tools. Anything that doesn't jump out at me at the 1K is likely to show up in my 4 year warranty period, especially with good record keeping and regular care and maintenance.

Thanks again, fellas.

 

I love the photo of the Honda 305 Scrambler. My first bike was a 1965.

 

Welcome aboard!

It's been a few years, so my memory is fuzzy, but I think mine was a '67.

 

1k at dealership and the rest you can do yourself.
I can’t speak for every tech but I follow a checklist and initial every step. More than just changing oil.

 

I had the dealer do my 1K service for the reasons mentioned. I am doing the rest of them myself. If you have the service manual you can do all the service maintenance yourself.

For tires or drive train work I take it to someone who has the proper equipment and knowledge.

 

Any recommendations on torque wrenches and bike lifts?
