Coming up on 25k real quick. Just wanted to ask for a heads up on anything I might want to check outside of what the manual says.
Tips, pointers.
Also the rockers are really starting to leak. What's a better gasket to replace them with? It's under warranty still but I'm thinking I should do it to learn more about the bike.
Mine aren't leaking after 23,000 miles, 2009 Iron 883. Though, to be honest, there is a LITTLE seepage, just enough that you can see a bit of a stain on the silver band in one area. Very small though.

Yea mine has the same thing ... mybe I'll see if I can get the gasket replaced before warranty ends haha cant hurt to try
What I found to be a little disturbing as a first time HD owner is the reaction of veteran HD owners when I pointed the seepage out to them... didn't really inspire too much confidence!
haha!
But yea, 23K and no problems. Enjoying the bike a lot.
