1000 mile service

I'm approaching 600 miles on my deluxe. I was wondering how crucial it is to get the service done at 1000 miles, any problem with going over a couple of hundered miles or so?

I was told by my service department that I could run it up to 1500 miles so I did.

If both of you are right, it sounds like I need to check with the dealer........

Id advise you to get that 1000 mile service in on time........you will find small particles of metal shavings in the old fluid......which need to come out. Plus the intial breakin period is important to the life of your ride.

I went over by about 150 miles with no problems from the dealer.

RE: 1000 mile service

I asked my dealer about how critical it was to get it done under 1000 miles and they were not at all concerned about it going over a couple of hundred miles. I even asked if the motor company would have any concerns and they said no...
