I have a 09 1200 sportster low, and I would like to know what is needed to be checked at 1000 miles besides just changing the oil. I want to do it myself instead of paying someone at the dealer to do it.

 

Buy a manual and all that info is in there.

 

I know I need a manual, I am just trying to get away cheeper. thanks though.

 

Doing it yourself is definitely more cost effective. But there is more to the 1k ckeckup than what can be posted in a simple forum reply.

 

Change all oils, check steering fall away,torque of all critical fasteners, belt deflection, tire inflation, wheel alignment, brakes, spokes, lights, oil throttle and clutch cables, check brake fluid. I'm sure I've left something out but thats a start.

 

The service interval checklist is printed in the back of your Owners Manual.........

 

guy gets a NEW bike and then wants to work on it. (great)

but not willing to spend the $60.00 on the manual go figure !!!!!!!!!!!

buy the damn manual has all the stuff in there.

to me it is the HOLY BIBLE
