thanks for your replys ! and sorry for my approximative english. i try to learn more , and the forum will be helpful to me ,as i 'm working for an american company (SHERWIN-WILLIAMS)...
Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan! I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding. Good Luck!!
thank you for your informations. i gt all about my 96 heritage , and close to complete service manual for my RK . as you say , i bought the softail because of the complete listing of invoices and maintenance stamps sold with.
