Hello all..quick question...new to the boards and new to harley's in general...just bought an 05 springer classic and had a question..

What is the standard maintenence schedule for these bikes and how much does it usually cost for service at the harley dealers...

Any info will help....

Thanks!

 

Kinda a broad question. Get a manual it will pay for itself. If you have a specific question ask it. Thats what we are here for.

 

Depends on the dealership and also the mileage for the maintenance schedule. First service is anywhere from 150-250 again depending on the dealership it may be more or less. Soft is absolutely right get the manuel for your bike and do it your self. It may seem scary at first but once you do it it will make you feel alot better about yourself and the insane amount of money you will save. And if you aren't sure when doing it there are a ton of folks with years of knowledge to assist you on the forum.

 

had the first done at daytona hd and it cost 370.00 after my heart rate went backdown i found a manual on ebay for 30 and do all my own work now. awful lot of tools and parts you can buy for that price.

 

Taking your bike to a dealer for your scheduled check-up/fluid change.... NEVER!!! your bank acct. will thank you. Download or buy a service manual...

 

i belive springers have to go in like every 2500 miles to get the frontend checked. but like they say get a manual it aint that hard!

 

Get a service manual. Do some research on what types of oil, plugs etc.. that you want to use. Oh and dont overtighten the drain plugs or they will definitely strip out (casings are alumunium and the plug is steel...very easy to do) ask me how I know.

 

Thanks for the suggestions
