Now that the dealer did yer 1st oil change. Git yerself a service manual either from the dealer or Jp cycles. Learn how to do yer own oil change. git you a small plastic pan that will fit under yer bike from Walley world to drain the oil into and a funnel .
Being its a air cooled motor. I would change it every 2500 miles. I use synthetic and even do it 2500 miles. Its about 60.00 for parts even if you buy the oil and filter from the dealer.
The motor takes 3 quarts. the transmission 1 quart. The primary 1 quart. Think the primary is a torx #27 to take the bolts out. I tend to forgit every now and then.
You can buy a chrome filter and the oil and save a bundle doing it yerself. Keep all yer receipts on the oil filter, and oil and put them in a ledger so if you have a problem you can show the dealer you have done regular maintenance on yer bike.

 

Wow, I don't feel so bad now about paying a little extra for my bike. Everyone tells me that I overpaid by about $1000 from the dealership I bought from. However, they also crap themselves when I tell them that I got all of my scheduled maintenance for free, yes FREE, when I bought the bike, for as long as I own the bike. It's a 2007, and I was told that this was a promotion that was going on. Didn't anyone else manage to get that deal?

 

Its the one where they cause you to replace the $ in your wallet.

 

If you got the bike for for a good price and yer happy with the price that's all that counts. Just ride and enjoy it and make it yer own. Yer the only person that counts dude.

 

I switched mine at the 5K to synthetic and plan on changing every thing every 5K which is what I think it says in the owners manual.

 

I agree Special Ed 5000 is what they say you can go to. Its fine. would check my oil a little more often if I went to 5000 miles. Don't ask me how this writing got sideways either.
I just hammer my bike. I run at 100mph a lot and faster. So that's another reason I change mine. Its not the oil that goes bad its the crap that gits in the oil.
No more than what it cost me to change my oil I don't worry about the cost. I am concerned about my bike and my riding style.

 

i agree, at 5k i will go synthetic and yes RIDE IT LIKE YA STOLE IT!!! best break in there is for a V-twin. too many people lug the V-twin, me, i bang the rev limiter a few times a week just to keep it in the "***** to the wall" ready. 2nd day i owned the bike was on the rev limiter a few times, less than 100 miles. so far only good vibs. will know in a few years if the therory was correct. (if not time to stroke it anyway's)

 

I bang my rev limiter just to check it out in 1st and 2nd gear. but when I hit 103 in 3rd and 120 in 4th. I still ain't bumped the rev limiter. My rev limiter hits and I git chicken little. I've been to over 120 many times in 5th gear and was still pulling like a train.
I need to slow down some at my age. Scard the man might sneak up on me too.
