RG Maintenance
Hello, I have a 07 orange Road Glide that I couldn't be happier with. Sure it chatters a little but I enjoy riding it and have no problems with it. Chalk one up for the 07s. Anyways, after reading many posts concerning do-it-yourself scheduled maintenance, if I do the work myself will the dealer still honor the warranty? I know this a newb question but the salesman said to ensure I got the service manual signed off when the maintenance was done. TheHD dealer wants over $300 for the 1000 mile maintenance but I am inclined to just do it myself. Do they ask to see the manual when you bring it in? I doubt it but I'm just fishing here. Also, my mechanical skills are pretty goodand would like to know if there is anything tricky about doing the 1000 mile maintenance; clutch adjustment, etc.
Lastly, since I bought this bike, all the work I've been doing on my 74 vette has came to a halt. When ever I get some free time all I want to do is ride. It's a cool ride and the chicks dig it. See you on the road. K6

RE: RG Maintenance
Just save all your maintenance item receipts and chart your service dates and mileages in the manual...yer covered, don't worry. Nothin tricky either...just buy a manual and read up a few pages at a time while in the bathroom. By the time yer 1st service is due, you'll know just how to attack it. Yer gonna find that nothing really needs adjusting @ 1k unless they failed to set it right during build. Get a jack... ya gotta have one when ya got a Harley...and as time moves on you'll be buyin a few new tools...like #27 torx.
Follow the manual and you'll ride with confidence that your bike is receiving the "best of care"
