I have an extended warranty. Why should I be worried about checking fluid levels?

My 2018 RGU only has 1000 miles on it and so far, no issues.

My 2018 Road King runs like a dream, at least so far. I scrupulously followed the break-in procedure in the manual, and did the 1,000 mile service last week. Everything has been great. Really like the smooth, effortless power of the M8 107 and the stability of the bike at 75MPH type speeds. I love my King!
