Miles between Oil changes?
do you guys follow the factory 1,000 mile, 5.000 mile, 10,000 mile between oil and filter changes on the ultra? I have a 07 SE Ultra and It seems extreme.
What do you think?

If you use a quality synthetic oil like Amsoil or Mobil 1 Vtwin, you're dumping perfectly good oil out if you do it more often than suggested intervals. If I used Syn 3, well....I wouldn't use the crap in my bike, so won't even go there.

I'm old school re break-in. I literally baby the bike it's first 500 miles, then drop all fluids and go w/ Syn. From there, every 5k miles. I'm on HD # 8 and I live in the So Fla market where temps get hot, and I've never had an issue.
