What exactly is involved in the 5k ml. service? HD Dealer in town has an estimate of $297 before anything else comes up... is there something more they do besides change the oil? |

There is more than the oil change, that is probably the easy part. But the rest of it is not hard. You should invest in a service manual. 5K includes: -primay drive fluid change and adjustment of tensioner -adjust and lube clutch cable and throttle cables more stuff too |

They *should* (straight from the manual): replace oil and filter inspect and service air cleaner inspect and service brake pads adjust primary replace tranny oil inspect idle speed steering head bearing resistance check adjust throttle cables adjust clutch and clutch cable check belt and pulley check tire pressure and inspect thread clean oil cooler fins 300 bucks is too much if you ask me and I would run home and do it myself. |

Save yourself half the money, do the fluids, tranny and oil tank and filter, keep your receipts and have them do the rest to keep the warranty in effect. |

He can do all of it w/o voiding the warranty. Just do it right. Take your time. I'll need to do mine in about 700 miles. If you're still in AZ you can ride up here and we'll take care of both of them. I've even got an extra bed if we don't get them done in one day. I won't need to change my fluids as I just did but I've got tools and a three different auto parts stores within five miles. When we get done we can ride the spars again . |
