Hey guys, I need some feedback. I have a 2006 Street Glide with 9,000 miles. I am coming up on the 4 year anniversy of the purchase of my Street Glide. The last service was completed by the dealer at 5,000 miles in the fall 2007 at which time Mobil 1 Synthetic was used in all required holes. Should I wait till 10,000 miles to complete the service or should I do it now since the last service was back in 2007? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

I would not wait. Personally I would change the oil at least once a year anyway. If the bike hasn't had a service since 2007, I would definitely do a full 5K type service before riding it this year. GOod for the bike and good for your safety as well. A lot of the service items are to be sure the bike is in good shape. I would recommend getting a manual and doing it yourself.

If it was something other than Mobile 1 or any other good synthetic I'd recommend doing the service now but syn's don't degrade (5 yrs once bottle is opened) at the rate dino oil does ( 1 year once bottle is opened) so you should be fine until you hit 10k miles as long as it's within the next couple of years.
I would go over the bike carefully though. Check your battery connections, belt, and all the other standard visual service inspections.
