My new 2011 Road Glide Ultra is going to most likely hit 1000 miles by the end of this weekend. I already scheduled the 1K service but the soonest any dealer around can fit me in is August 17th. Thats over a week away. Is it unwise to ride the bike past 1000 miles before servicing or is it generally okay to go over in mileage? The dealer said as long as I had it serviced before 2500 miles I'd be good, but I thought I'd ask here for some second opinions, because that sounds kind of fishy to me.
I would hate to have to let my new bike sit for a whole week...

At 1,001 miles the engine,trans, and clutch will self destruct if all new fluids are not changed. AND you have to use a shop vac to make sure you get every drop oil old oil out. If you don't the **** Oil God will give you bad dreams about dirty oil. In fact, it won't hurt to dismantle the engine just to be safe. You never know where there might be a cavity where oil pools. C'MON MAN!!!

You guys are joking, and rightfully so....however, if you look in your owners manual (not the service manual), your little owners manual, it states the bike should be taken in before 1000 miles.
