Lie? Any rider that has logged 15K should be familiar enough with their ride to allow them to recognize any mechanical concerns.

While i strongly advocate a rider obtain a service manual i also realize that the information contained can quickly allow a person with inexperience to reach beyond their grasp. Seen it many times!

The majority of (twin cam) big twins should run 60k right out of the box!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it (or spend money trying)

I agree that there are likely no problems with his bike. However, he hasn't logged 15,000 miles on it - he bought it used. The prudent thing to do would be to go over it very carefully.

Welcome from NC...and nice bike btw.

If you like to do your own wrenching, then get a service manual for your year bike as suggested. The service manual has more info than the owners manual.

If you want a dealer to look it over, then assume that the 15K service was not done and have either that or the 10K service performed. If you're new to the dealer, ask who their most experienced tech is and asked for that tech to do the service.
