I could have sworn that there was a 2500 mile service in my owner's manualand the dealer's maint. schedule!
So I get home, warm up the bike and do the oil change and then check the manual for the rest of the service points and WHAT? no service at 2500?
That's okay I switched over to synthetic anyway, still had dino in it from the 1k service.
Gotta get me the HD oil filter wrench too.
There's still a lot of folks that change fluids at 2500 intervals, leftover from the old days of that interval. I think it was '05 that they changed to 5k.
Thanks, I thought I had lost what was left of my mind. I'm pretty sure that the dealer has a board for services at 1000, 2500, 5000, etc.,
Every 5000 miles seems a bit too long as hard and hot as these engines run.

I know I've lost what is left of my mind.....but that has nothing to do with the oil changes...
I have a dealer near me that will do a quick change oil change only for $55 on sundays,sometimes I will have that done at 2500 then at 5k will do the rest meself.
