ORIGINAL: breaknbad

I have heard you need the dealer to do the 500 mile or 1000 mile service (the first service that you model calls for) for them to warrenty the bike. It is the most important service since everything moves,wears,stretches etc more on a new bike than one that has a few miles on it.

other than that service the bike yourself. Get a manual and follow what is recommended. Nothing is too hard or out of the ordinary.

I could of not said it better.A Harley is a very easy bike to work on with the right tools and a service manual. Plus you will appreciate your Harley more and understand how it operates.
