First Harley... Maintenance Tips Anyone?
Just bought my first harley (2004 dyna, 8800 miles) Runs great! I want to keep it that way. I plan to take itto my local dealer for full check.
I know there are fluid checks that need to be done regularly etc... but need more detail on exactly what.
Can anyone offer any advise on a good regularmaintenance plan I can do?
Thanks Much!
Joe

First thing, I would buy a manual for that year and model. Prolly around $50.00, but worth its weight in gold. Bear in mind, there is always an easier/better way than what is in the manual. That information will come from experienced riders on the forums. Delphi forums have several biker sites chocked full of information. Good riding to ya. Bigiron.

Welcome from Toronto, ON - from the Great White North. 
Definitely have the dealer do the 1,000 mi check. This way, they can find out what they forgot when they did the final assembly.
