Default What is the 2500 mile service?

I put my 2007 wide glide in today for the 1000 mile service. My book calls for the next service at 5000. The service tech said I should bring it back at 2500. I said the book calls for 1000...then 5k, 10k, 15k...etc... He said that the routine was every 2500 miles...my manual says every 5000 miles. Do you think the shop is just trying to generate business????

The book says every 5k. I know the 2500 schedule wont hurt my bike...(EXCEPT MY POCKETBOOK) What gives...Harley gave me a book that says every 5000...why is the shop saying evry 2500????

Nowhere in the book does it ever mention 2500 for anything???? Your imput.

Thanks

I was told the same thing, but I paid 1400$ for the prepaid unlimited service in 2005. With another year to go and 17750 miles on it already its ready for the next 2500 service and I came out way ahead. Plus they pick up and deliver to my house 50 miles away.

I might be wrong but I think up until 2004 the 2500 miles was the recommended engine oil change interval. Some of us still change dinoevery 2500 miles.

+1 used to be 2500. Doesn't hurt to change the oil in between the 5ks.

Sounds like your dealer has bought a new boat.
