Now that is some real logic right there. I have't seen the word poser since jr. high.

 

This is getting funny.... if you do a lot of highway miles 5000 should be good, but sitting at red lights generate a lot of heat so if that is your norm I would recommend change it every 3000.

 

Meh...I put 8k on mine the first year, but I haven't ridden it much the last two years due to other **** goin' on in my life. (maybe 3K a year) I'm at 14,253 miles on the odometer...I just went to the garage to check it.

I have no plans to sell my bike... Ya'll can kiss my ***.

 

Thats nothing. I put on 10 km last year and about 800 km the year before. Hard to ride when you work 24 days on with 4 days off and the job site is 5000 km away from home.
But i would never sell it.

 

You either just got out of Jr High or do not read this forum much....

 

Agreed, if you're going to lay your bike up for winter change the oil before doing so, don't leave dirty oil sitting in an engine for months on end.

 

[=jmeiers;9715542]HAHA! I was thinking the same thing. Poor bike prolly got more dust on it than bug guts! [/quote]
Tough bunch. I ride it 3 or 4 times a week to the gym or just to ride. Same with my car and I only put about 4K miles on that. Down here in Florida I can ride it all tear. They are both "recreational" vehicles. The wife's car get most of the miles.

 

Have owners manual.....read owners manual! Don't intend to service the bike myself so not getting a service manual. Owners manual does not say 5K miles or 1 year whichever comes first like both of my automobile manuals. It simply states 5K miles and there is no note 3 (which indicates annually) like there is for checking the brakes, clutch cable and a couple other maintenance items. So there much be a reason they do not specify that. I am sure a lot of riders don't put 5K miles on their bikes.

 

Notice Note 3 in the attachment which is for annual maintenance is not indicated for oil and filter change in this maintenance schedule. This is the same for my 11 Dyna manual so HD obviously does not suggest annual oil/filter changes if 5K miles is not achieved.

 

Pretty harsh harleyphoenix. I have other obligations and unfortunately don't get to ride as much as I use to. I ride to work as often as I can but it is very hard on dress clothes so most of my riding is on the weekend. If you think I'm a poser you are entitled to your opinion, but I am also entitled to mine if you get my drift.
