I recently bought a 2012 EG Ultra with 350 miles on it... I have put another 200 on to date and am on my second tank of gas.

The question for you guys is should I be looking to do the first service now even though I'm not at 1000 miles given that the bike is a couple years old and did not have a lot of miles on it too date? I am thinking yes...

I did look at the HD recommended 1000 mile check up and it covers engine/transmission oil change, anything else I should consider?

 

Yes I would change it as soon as possible. Sitting sometimes can cause moisture to accumulate in the cases so I would change everything. If you have the dealer do it they should know everything else that needs done. If you are doing it, go to Harley's website ans you can look up, by your VIN, what needs to be done at what mileage. https://www.harley-davidson.com/en_U...bmLocale=en_US

 

I would wait for 1000 miles. Some problems may not show up with only 550 miles on it that might show up later. I would change the oil though.

How did you get a 2 year old bike with 350 miles on it? Nice!

 

more than an oil change

Do your service yourself & save the money to buy extras for your bike & know the service was done right!

 

Thanks all for confirming my initial thoughts... this is my first HD so don't have an issue with investing in a dealer doing this or at least a local shop I trust.

 

Dang! almost three years on the same oil....He's saved quite a bit already!

 

I would have changed all the fluids when I got it home before putting any miles on it, unless you know it was done before you purchased.
Then do the 1k service at 1k.

 

I don't think the bike did much other than sit in a garage for 2 years... follow-up, I always had my Vulcan serviced at Depot Honda/Kawasaki in Rye, but I'm not very familiar with local HD shops or independants in the Seacoast NH area... any recommendations?
