Doing a 10,000 mile Service to your Harley…what parts are needed and what should be checked?
I would just like to see a checklist of stuff to buy to do this service on a 2004 Heritage Softail...and a checklist of things to check over.
I don't want to spend 300 bucks for the harley shop to do an oil change and adjust my cables...I can do that myself and save the cash.
Oh yeah...I think your right...I do recall seeing that in the manual.
to the second answer: I've heard that...but then I've heard that it doesn't void the warrentee...
AND ABOUT you sly comment about the mileage...I had two babies in the past two years...worked real close to home...DIDN'T GET OUT MUCH DUE TO HAVING CHILDREN...plus it is an 04 which I BOUGHT in December of 05...so what's your point again about my milage?
oops...I mean december of 04...Dealer had 05 already out and 06's would be on the way in 6 months...so I got a great deal...
Good answer Bennett...I just don't see the point in having HD shop do the work when I am perfectly capable of doing this myself...I used to do all my own work on my sportster...but of course that bike did not have a warrentee...
Grendle once again is spouting his uninformed, unintelligent b-s.
I suggest you spend $60 for a service manual if you want to do the work yourself. The maintenance chart for my Electraglide is 4 pages long. I let the dealer do it the first time. I’ll try to tackle it myself this winter. Good luck.
If I’m not mistaken, your owners manual should tell you what you will need to check at different intervals of service. If not, call the Harley shop and the service guy should be able to tell you.
If this bike is still under warranty (two years old and you’re just getting to 10K?) let the dealer do the work. the $300 bucks will be well worth it when the thing starts barfing oil out the breathers next week. Doing your own work can void the warranty.
