Default Seminole Harley Service Special

I do not work for them
I did not buy my bike from them, long story
however I do get my bike serviced there
You may or may not care for them
I just wanted to pass this info on

For the month of Sept, I know its almost over, they are taking $150 off
any 1, 5, 10K service. I was only needing a oil change, but went with everything.
Total was $150, I brought in my own Amsoil.

Just passing the info on, take it for what it's worth

Happy riding

You brought in your own Oil, I can see that, AND they charged you an additional $150? For an Oil Change?
Help me out here Bro? WTF???

I had a 5K service done
I know many of you DIY
They did the 5K service but did not charge me for the oil part of the service.

Sounds a little steep, but if your happy, then it was worth every dollar.

If ya got the money and don't have the time. I can understand why someone would drop off their bike. Otherwise, why pay someone for something you can do yourself? I'm a believer in that in all aspects, for instance, I'd rather watch **** than get a call girl! But seriously, once you DIY and realize it's not that difficult (and renew your man card) you might be more understanding.

Thanks for the info though confused! This was good info for 'those' types of people

Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me. There is a lot more to maintenance than changing your oil.

sure there is more than the fluids, but again it's all basic. There are a few tools you may need to purchase but in the long run (this isn't a seasonal hobby is it?) it will save you money. That is if you rather have money than time, to each his/her own.

Some people just dont like wrenching on their bikes. Nothing wrong with that.

I admit it, I don't have the tools, time, space (no garage) to DIY
I am planning a long trip and like the idea that my bike was looked at from front to back
Was it REALLY looked at, I can only hope. Maybe I'm too trusting
So here is what they are supposed to do:

-change engine oil and oil filter.
-inspect air cleaner and serivce as required.
-change primary chaincase lubricant and clean magnetic drain plug.
-check/adjust primary chain.
-check clutch adjustment.
-change transmission lubricant and clean the magnetic drain plug.
check and adjust belt.
-lube the foot/shift brake lever bearings.
-check rear pedal adjustment.
-inspect brake pads and discs for wear.
-flush and replace brake fluid resivoir levels.
-inspect oil lines and brakes systems for leaks.
-lubricate the front brake lever, throttle control cables, throttle, clutch control cable, and hand lever and jiffy stand.
-check, adjust operation of enrichener.
-inspect fuel valve,lines and fittings for leaks.
-clean fuel filter screen(carb only).
-check operation of all electrical equipment and switches.
-check battery condition and connections.
-change spark plugs.
-check tire pressure and inspect tread.
-check wheel spoke tightness.
-inspect, adjust, repack front fork bearing.
-check condition of rear shock absorbers.
-check air suspension-pressure,operation and leakage.
-check stabilizer and engine mounts. check tightness of all fastners except engine head bolts.
-lubricate hinges,latches-fuel door, tour pack, saddlebags.
-check engine idle speed adjustment.
-road test.

For $150, I would say "Good deal." Like some people, I know enough NOT to do some things on my bike. (Short story: I took my Ultra in for a (I think) 20 thousand mile service. I went to pick up the bike and the mechanic asked me "Were you testing me!?" I said "What!!!!!?" Well, seems that one of the steps in the process was to "Lube" the gas
cap access door hinge (Who would do that?). WELL...I always kept a 20 dollar bill
under the lid in case of emergencys. The mechanic lifted the lid to lube the hinge (who would do trhat?) and found my tenty. He took it aside....and ASKED ME IF I WAS TESTING HIM. He is a good guy (Hedonist Custom Cycles..just south of the Last Resort Bar in south Daytona). Bless you all that can manage to work on your bikes. Me? I can't stop my primary from leaking . Leaks more now after I changed the gasket to stop the leak. (yes....I torqued to specs....and after it still leaked, I torqued it more).
