Service Intervals?

I bought my 2005 XL1200C used and the last service was done at 7500 miles. I am at 9300 and am wondering if it is due again at 10k? What does HD recommend? Also I know that the bike has been ran on synthetic oil. Thanks

After the initial service at 1K,additional service is at 5K, 10K, 15K etc. What is done at each service is listed in the Owners Manual.

Get an owners manual and a shop manual, do the work yourself and save some money. You'll get to know your scoot better too.

Really depends on what they did at 7500 miles, and earlier. Not knowing the history of the bike, I would knock out all the 5000 and 10000 mile items just to have a baseline, then go from there. The Clymer manual has a good section on maintenance and a maintenance schedule. Its around $25 or so.
