The oil mark reading won't be accurate on a cold check because you have to get the bike to operating temp (ride it for about 15 to 20 minutes) then park it let it set on the jiffy stand for about 3 minutes THEN check the oil. That's the ONLY accurate way to check a Dyna's oil, because of the oil baffle plate. Hope that helps man.:-)

I posted earlier in the 2010 year about the '10 Heritage using a quart of oil every 800-1k miles. Service manager said it was common---I callled bullshit.
Well after 4 trips before the 5k service I go in with an attiude. I demanded a new motor and to watch it being installed. I left the dealer on a new rkc just to get me out the door. Salesman said they sold the Heritage three week later to another sap. That makes for good business and the rkc has not see the inside of the dealership after I left with it.

i had the dealer do the 1000 mile on both new bikes i have gotten. i did my 5000 myself on my previous one though. i too feel the first service is a critical one. as stated earlier, get a dealer you have a relationship with to do your service work. that way if a problem is noticed, it will be no problem being fixed.
