HI everyone i just picked up my first fuel injected HD yesterday, ordered pipes and a tuner from the dealer (i obviously want thinking with my head) and they told me that if i install it all myself it will void my warrantee since i am not a hd certified mechanic. so here i am looking to see what everyone else is doing. seems like there are a few around who have done this without much trouble. any one with a reason i shouldnt go ahead and work on my bike please post up otherwise it will be my wrenches tearing into my bike instead of the dealer. oh and i got a 2012 blackline. with 60 miles on er
Aloha from Oahu and welcome. Dealer is full of crap on the warranty unless they can prove that whatever you wrenched on caused a failure. I'd lawyer up if they try to deny a warranty claim. They just want to gouge you on the service. Pick up a service manual and wrench away as long as you know what you're doing.
Any service provided by the dealer can be done for 1/2 price by a HD certified tech in a local shop. Dealer did my 1st service and it came back 1 qt low...never again!
