RE: 1000 mile service
There's nothing free at H-D.
I wish I could turn back the clock and do my own. Never had a problem until after the 1000 mile service. Now the front brakes make a chattering sound and squeals. The engine now runs so hot it's not fun to ride anymore. Been back 5 times for heat issue and they finally put it on the dyno and says everythings in spec. They kept it over night so they probably cranked it up in the morning in their airconditioned shop instead of taking it for a ride and then checking it. I have checked the engine temperature on top of the cylinder heads and it is 410 degs and the exhaust port is 725 degs. Anybody want to have a winnie roast?
