5000 mile service... really??
#11
I wanted to stick to dealer service while in warranty. 10k service....$525 that included Amsoil in the engine, Belray in the other 2 holes. Then they called and told me the front brakes...that are Lyndall Golds, andcthecrears each with less than 5,000 miles needed replaced...for another $300 or so. I know bought my own service manual...

Don't think i'll need to buy any tools (already have 2 torque wrenches). I have sleds, so working on stuff is a requirement. I don't have the shop manual... only the owners manual and a list I found online for 5K service.
What they were charging (seems standard across dealers) for 5k service is crazy. No other fluid is changed - especially since I had them do the 1000 mile service (had a coupon for that).
Where do you buy the shop manual?

Look on line or purchase one at the dealer, I paid $60.00 for mine at the dealer and to be honest I would have paid hundred dollars if I had to.

The service manual is the first thing you should buy if you want to start doing your own service. It provides step by step instruction on all systems. I'd recommend the parts manual and Electrical manual too.
This site show the service schedule: https://www.harley-davidson.com/cont...schedules.html
The eng oil is the only oil you change at 5k and 3 qts syn 3 is $40 and filter less than $20 KN. Take the money you save and buy manuals and a Lift or a jack.
There are plenty of videos on You Tube and another good site is Fix My Hog for a fee.
Good Luck

Ok so I have a 2014 Ultra that I have not really rode much as of yet (I know I need to get out more.. LOL) it has 3k on it now. It is however over 1 year old and I have only done the 1k service which the dealer threw in for free. My question is do you change the oil if the bike sits for long periods or do you wait for the mileage. I know in my Vette I would only change the oil 1 time per year even though I am averaging 3k in mileage for the year.

Sounds like for the 5K I just need to buy the oil and filter (already have the lift).
Ordering the service manual.
