on my sportster it costs me 250.00 but on my road king the dealership wanted to charge me 350.00 so i found a cheaper authorized Harley service shop to do it for 220.00 ask around I'm sure there is a place you can do it a lot cheaper
They are going to do the exact same thing you would out of your service manual. If you are going to do "most" of your servicing, why not do it all? Go for it! It's a great way to learn the bike and KNOW it's done right. JMO. Take care and good luck.
I haven't reached 1000 mile service yet but my 06 was free and the new bike will be free as well. Might check with you dealer because 1000 mile service is suppose to be on them.
you guys are lucky the dealership is a big freaking rip off they charge for everything and there expensive. what is all in the first maintenance it's basically a oil change isn't it??
6 quarts of fluid approx $60 for all 3 holes
1 oil filter approx $12
1 gasket set approx $6 the big O-ring on primary and 3 small o-rings on plugs
1 tube grease approx $11 for steering head bearings
so around $90 and the satisfaction that everything that is supposed to be done at the 1000 mile interval was done and I had fun doing it and helped to get to know my scoot.
