The dealership here suggests 2500 for the Motor oil and 5000 for the primary and transmission due to the summer heat and also the dust here in AZ.

 

If you asked if you should change your oil at 1500 miles, would they do it or tell you it doesn't need it that soon?.,,

 

I change my oil in all three holes with the most expensive super duper synthetic after every ride so I know I'm getting the best possible lubrication and no contaminants in my bike. Anything less is considered abuse. It's cheap insurance so the oil companies never go out of business and leave us with no new oil. Sometimes, if the ride is more than 100 miles, I'll bring oil along and change it so as to not damage the extremely fragile Harley engine. So there!

 

Seriously? Can I be your oil dealer? I thought every 5000 miles snuck up on me quickly.

 

500 miles.

 

Gotta say my .02.

If you wait 10K to change ANY fluids in your bike, yer just cheap.

 

Maybe, but trannys don't have any contaminants getting in there. Metal particles are picked up by magnetic drain plug. Primary just keeps clutch cool and lubes a CHAIN. Not too difficult. I go 5k as per manual, but I doubt it's needed as often except engine. My $.02 I gotta go change my oil. Got 550 miles in last weekend........

 

Good Lord! If I changed mine every 500 miles I'd spend every other weekend draining fluid. Don't you ever ride?

 

I change all 3 after every ride

 

new bike at 100 miles--three holes

then 500 miles--three holes

then 1000 miles--three holes

then every 2500 miles-- three holes

Oil is cheap.......
