Default Fluids and their change intervals...

I am new to this forum and a fairly new bike owner...meaning the Rocker that I own is the 1st ever bike I have ever owned. Can anyone give me a list of fluids that need to be changed and what their intervals are i.e when do you change the fluids...I have searched and searched in this forum for the "exact" answers but never really find the exact info needed...

Also as far as the reg motor oil changing I have not changed my oil since its 1000 mile servicing the end of last yr...it sat over the winter and I have been riding it this yr and still have not changed the oil am I doing more harm than good?

Thank you for your help in advance...

Dennis

Info is at the back of your owner's manual. If you don't have one, contact your dealer and have them order you one. If you're going to be doing your own changes or other service, also suggest you get a service manual.

Plenty of time as your next engine oil change isn't due till 5k. Even if you don't ride your bike during the winter.

Welcome, I agree on getting a service manual. The fluid changes are fairly easy and will save you some coin for other mods to your bike. Enjoy your new ride, and like he said next service due at 5000 miles.

Until you get the manual, you can go to the Harley site and put in your VIN and milage. They will give you the scheduled maint it needs.

Agree with saving some coin doing it yourself, and you know it's done right....hopefully
