I've searched through the Dealer thread in the Knowledge Vault with no luck. Looking for dealer recommendations near Columbus, OH. Specifically for service. I have a couple of things I want done on my Uly XT that I need the dealer for. Thanks in advance. | ||

Mansfield,O. - I bought my Uly from Hal's (Hale's?) and really liked them - only one service (they are 2.5 hrs. from me), bought lots of parts there as well, and i was very happy. YMMV | ||

If you go to Farrows, Have Mitch and Mitch ONLY work on your bike. Great guy and he gives a shit. Neil (service writer) at the downtown store is a COBRA member and takes care of the Buell peeps.... Mitch floats between the North location and the downtown location hope this helps | ||

What are you wanting done to your bike? | ||

I'm looking to have the fork fluid changed and update to the comfort kit ECM flash. | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
how many miles do you have on the bike? | ||
| Invisible_monster |
It's an '08 Uly XT with just over 15k miles. | ||

I'd go another 15 before I would get to worried about changing the fork oil. As long as the forks aren't leaking, I think you will be good to go.... and to save your fork seals, add a set of fork skins | ||

I've agonized over this as well. Not being a racer, I was kind of thinking to just let them go until they leak, then simply change the seals and the fork oil all at once. Perhaps I will loose 15% of the potential life of the fork seal this way, but I only have to mess with it once every 30k to 50k miles. (of course this is all speculation... I don't know what the real impacts of not changing fork oil is). | ||

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I knew I could push the fork oil change out past what is recommended in the manual but wasn't sure how far. I'll just have them flash my ECM with the comfort kit version. |
