Do a search for "maintenance schedule". You should find a PDF you can download. I'm not at my computer, or I'd find it for you. Added: This is the thread where I got my copy of the pdf, but none of the links are working now.

The maintenance schedule says 50K but after changing that stuff at 50K.......My schedule will be once per year from now on. Only takes about an hour at most and I am gonna recommend you change it at 25K versus the books saying 50K.
mine is a 2005 ultra classic,, does it have that cartridge in the left fork?? and if it does can i still change the oil WITHOUT removing the left fork// and do the top fill method?? drian and pump forks a few time to get all the oil back in,, or do ireally have to remove the left to get all the oil out??
thanks
thanks

Funny thing, just talked to my indy about this, unless you feel poor ride, not necessary to do it as often as people stated. But to each his own. I change fluids in 3 holes every 5000. Some do it every 2000. One bike I went 40000 before fork oil change. Not here to judge. Just passing my opinion.
