Coming up on 27,500 miles. Am capable of changing fluids, lubing cables, plugs wires etc. My question is, I know at certain miles, certain things need to be checked. What? How do I find out?. What things should always be checked. Grease neck bearings, brakes, belt. etc. These $275 services are getting steep. BTW, cam tensioners were replaced @ 22,500. It's an 05 FLHT. Run Synthetic fluids at the moment. Thanx.

 

If you have the owners manual, it should tell you in there. A service manual is invaluable if you plan on doing your own work.

 

I do have a service manual, Clymer's I believe. Bought the bike used, didn't get a owner's manual w/ it. Where can I buy one at. Someone else told me the actual Harley service manual has things in it not explained in the Clymer's, is that true?

 

you can get an owner's manual from your local dealer for $20. I found them for twice that on fleabay..... just saying.....

 

Will get an owner's manual at the dealer. How about Harley's service manual, or is the Clymer's enough?

 

See if you can read this.

I think they do some other stuff too because they have mentioned doing stuff like taking the axle out and applying anti-seize, etc.

 

can't help you on a service manual... I use an independent mechanic for all servicing.

 

Get the service manual from the dealer, it has full instructions on maintenance services and also repair procedures. Enough information to completely disassemble and reassemble your bike. The factory manuals are better than any other.

Also get a parts manual which will have the part numbers for every piece on your bike.

For some bikes there is an electrical/electronic manual.

The owners manual is also nice to have.

All 4 books will cost less than one dealer service.

 

Awesome. That's what I'll do. Anybody wanna buy a Clymer's manual? Kidding, actually, the times I've used it it works real well, just need more info on more things.
