Change everything at 5K. I see in the 2010 Service Manual, Harley has upped the mileage for Transmission from 10K to 20K intervals. As hot as these engines get, and as much as the gears are changed, I don't know if I could go that long.

My 2007 book shows 20k on the trans oil....

Just have to ask, what does the engine temp have to do with the gear oil in the trans? Also, do we shift more than the manual transmission in a car/truck? Just wondering.
