Default what do they do at 75,000 mile check

My 04 ultra is being taken to dealer today.75,000 mile check,for warranty purposes plus its mileage.They said $500.00 for the checkup, because "they do all kinds of things" as the service guy told me.I know they charge 370 for changing the oil in all 3 holes normally which I thought was high.But, they are a good dealer and do good work so far.Answers appreciated.

They should be able to provide you with something in writing like a checklist that shows everything that is required for the 75k mile service. If they don't, do you really want them working on your bike?

For that kind of money they should provide a video of the procedures done, plus buy you lunch...save the 500, buy a service manual and do it yourself..

The way I read the manual, your 75k service should be a repeat of the 25k and 50k.

They should give you a new bike with all the money you've give them over the years.
