Thanks everyone. And thanks for the advice on my service. Def will be getting a manual as soon as the holidays are done with. I see someone says not to use oil for tranny and primary. I looked in my owners manual and its tells me 20w50 synthetic is usable in all. Should I not for some reason? Sorry I put this in the welcome section, new to this forum still trying to figure out how to navigate around it, this is the only forum I have used besides a Honda one, when I had my old bike. Now to figure out how to get some pics up....Thanks again everyone Happy Holidays

Long as you bike is under warranty you need to keep your receipts and use required oil since you are doing it. People use what you say and have 75K. I just talked to one. What I run. If I were you I would not do it however. You run the risk of giving Harley a reason not to honor the warranty. To answer your original post see attachment
