I was being completely serous. At the same time the manual states change fluids annually regardless of miles. Maybe just change oil and filter.
Enjoy all your toys. You earned them.

Not to sound wrong, but I've never seen or heard of a new vehicle NOT coming with the owner's manual. I'm pretty sure it's required by law, due to all of the safety warnings.

You can get a free owners manual from Harley.

I'm pretty sure you can download a free PDF version from the moco's website.

I can see doing it annually if there is extreme temperature change and moisture, but my garage is climate control and stays 65 in the winter and 75 in the summer. Advantages of being an HVAC guy. I am going to buy a manual this weekend.

Yeah, I did that in the first week and half or so on mine. Got it in April, and will be doing the 10K in about a month, month and a half.
