Have a 2006 FLHRCI with 3500 miles on it. Am thinking of running Syn. oil and was wondering if 3500 could be considered "broke in" .

 

i consider 1ooo miles b/i

 

06 with 3500 miles? Yes.it is broken in. Change to synthetic and then ride, ride, ride.

 

These bikes are still breaking in at 5000 miles, but you are probably 98% there, so synthetic is OK.

Beary

 

I switched to Amsoil 20/50 at 1500 miles. No problems.

 

I switched to Amsoil 20W/50 at 1,000 miles. My indy told me there wouldn't be a problem doing so. Bike is running great with no issues.

 

Our07:

I knew someone would call me on that, need to explain. I have been off the road for 7 years, couldn;t take it anymore. I found this 06 Road King with 3000 miles on it, I made a 300+ mile round trip to claim her. Bad news is, I only had it long enough to put 500 miles on and the weather turned (N/W Montana, Canadian Border). Now I just go into the garage and stare, thinking of next years riding season.......

 

Yep, go synthetic in all three holes. I use Amsoil 20/50 in crank and primary and Amsoil 75/140 Severe Gear in the Tranny. Use whatever namebrand synthetic you want. Sounds like it's gonna be a long winter for you. Good luck and congrats on the new bike.

 

Harley claims break in is only 750 miles.

 

switched at 1000 miles....go for it.
