No not sweating the 10 miles its just that I used to take my old bike to an independant shop and when I'd get it back from service it would have 2-3 miles on it from when I took it in. Now my first visit to a Harley shop and it came back with 10. Just wondered what others have had and I guess 10 isnt out of line from what I'm seeing.

 

I had mine tuned recently and my Indy put about 45 mi. on it in order to get it right. I was glad he did. Gas is cheap when it comes to making sure the work was done correctly.

 

Don't sweat the mileage your dealer put on. For starters unless you have a "cold start" problem he needs to get it to operating temp.
Secondly most dealers have a standard ride route for test rides. Besides, the warranty is unlimited mileage so who cares?

I had an intermittent electrical problem on my 2012 Ultra Classic w/ 16,000+ on it. 50 some miles later the dealer got it to replicate. Solved the problem with one service visit and because of the length of the test rides found two more problems, unrelated, that were also fixed (under warranty) that could have been catastrophic later on.

Besides, as fast as insurance companies are to total bikes, and I'm sure your dealer has great insurance, you get an identical new one if they wreck it.

Reason for service visit handled potential problems or issues found and addressed, fewer visits and loss of riding time needed, more issues found and fixed under warranty, I don't see any reason to worry. I would be more concerned if he drove it around his lot for a mile and couldn't find the problem.

I have seen between 10-12 miles ever service interval for my last 4 bikes.

 

Mine is about 10 miles after a service. I usually do my own maint. so if i take it in, its usually for something big. I would rather they get it up to speed and temp to check stuff rather than just start it up and say "it must be good"

 

Any dealer worth a darn test ride thes thing after work/service. Every time my rides go to them they check it over always have and I would expect no different.
Or maybe they let bubba demo ride it.
