2500 mile service
A few weeks ago I bout a 2010 Ultra Classic and when I bought it I bought a Maintenance service package that covers all maintenance for the first three years and I'm unsure about the service needed for 2500 mile service.
The dealer I bought the bike and service package from says they change the oil every 2500 miles along with other inspections. This week I am going on a road trip from St. Louis to New England and on my first day out I will hit 2500 miles so I called some dealers in Ohio to get the service done and both told me that they only change oil every 5000 miles and it took a bit of discussion to get one of them to agree to do it.
I have a 03 Fatboy that I've done every 5,000 miles myself and it has almost 50,000 miles on it with no problems.
So I'm curious what do the rest of you do? Do any of you have this service plan and what is your oil change intervals?
Can any of you tell me what else needs to be done? I haven't bought a service manual yet so I do not have this info available.
Thanks for your info.

if you're that close on miles I'd just take to the dealer you bought the plan from and have it done prior to the trip. Why waste time sitting in a dealer when you don't have too, esp on the road. JMO

I would like to but I'm 600 miles from the service and I'm leaving Thursday at 5 a.m. and they would not be able to get to in time. Work load won't allow me to get there before Thursday.
