That's a total waste of time -- take care of changing the air in the tires first before worrying about this.

@keats1974 We have a new Twin line of 20W50 motor oil, 75W90 gear oil, and primary & chain case oil that you would need to replace all fluids in a 2005 Fatboy:

You're on your own for the windshield washer and turn signal fluid

And don't forget to grease the seat and hand grips. Generously.

I always have trouble adjusting my spark plug wires. Can't find it in the service manual.
