Dealer told me @ 5000k service I needed a new rear tire........I said "are you ****ing kidding me?" He asked if I rode hard! I told him: "just do the service."
I changed it at 7500k. Their there to sell things.
I seem to only get 7000 or so out of a tire. I ride mostly in town and accelerate fast alot, maybe that is my problem. i did buy tire and wheel coverage when i bought my bike, it is going to run out this year and i have never used it. How does that work, say maybe, i get a nail in the tire, they replace the rear for free. I don't think harley plugs tires do they? Ideas
