FLSTCI Service Question
Go ahead and Boo! me, but for various reasons I didn't ride much last year. Maybe 1500 miles.
Pretty poor I know.
My question is, I know I have to change the oil (which I'm debating just doing myself) but
what else needs to be done to my scoot.
It's on '04 with 7K miles on it/ I had it serviced late in '05 with 5500 miles on it.
Check the air in the tires, check the spokes, a general review of loose bolts and things
& a definate 20W 50 Mobile 1Oil change.
What about the other fluids? What else needs to be done.
Thanks!!!!

RE: FLSTCI Service Question
if you don't ride much, a battery tender would be a good idea.
I'd change at least the engine and tranny fluid. Use synth for the tranny, and if you change it often enough ~2500 miles.. you can use non-synth in the engine.

RE: FLSTCI Service Question
I'M in almost same way, I have 06 FAT BOY and did the 1000 mile service at harley dealer, not to cheap either compared to having car serviced, but I to would like to change my oil to the 20w-50w MOBIL synthectic for V-Twin's, but not sure about other fluid's, I do not have a center stand and book say's must be level, any way 2000 mile's on bike so if only changed oil than later take to dealer and let them do the other two, I know sound's hokey but do not have room for center jack or have wife set on bike to keep level, that would last 3 minute's top's! and then she would bolt on me, the phone or T.V show must watch, so it would not hurt to just change oil early and use what kind I prefer than let shop do other's at 3 or 4 thousand mile's. YES, NO, MAYBE? PURPLE HAZE.
