Default 10K Tune Up

I have a 2006 Road King with 10K miles - is it worth paying $325.00 for this?

Engine Oil & Filter
Inspect oil lines & break lines for leaks
Air Cleaner
Check Tires
Change Primary Oil
Check clutch Adj.
Primary chain adj.
Rear belt & sprocket
Throttle, brake, clutch controls
jiffy stand inspect/lube
fuel valve, lines, fittings inspect for leaks
brake fluid - check
check brakes
replace plugs
check electrical equipment
engine idle speed
steering head bearings - (this seems like an odd one???)
check air suspension
check windshield bushings
check cruise control
fuel door, tour-pak, saddle bags hinges - lube
critical fasteners - check tightness
engine mounts - inspect


Yeah - after going over the list it looks pretty basic. Dose anyone actually do the steering head bearings?

Actually... yes. I had mine flat spot. if they wear or become loose you will get a tank slapper that will make you think you are going down on decel. It is rare they go bad, but something that should certainly be checked time to time. jmo
