Hi all,

Does any one see or know of any problems that would affect my warranty if I do my own oil changes. Im still a ways off from the first service, but would really prefer to do the servicing myself.

Thanks in advance
Rob

Keep your receipts for oil & filter as a "just in case." Follow the checklist in the owner's manual for the 1st service, and watch out for the oil when you drain it. I believe the best luck has been with the kickstand in the oilpan & covered with either a plastic breadbag or aluminum foil. Check this link for some of the things folks here have tried - http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290431/353429.html?1209089434

Doing the 1st service, which is basically a once over & oil change, yourself will not void the warranty.

If a dealer refuses to do warranty work on your bike because they tell you the warranty is voided due to you performing the 1st service, I'd find another dealer...FAST.

Man that was a great link to others experience with the oil change, I will be much better prepared now.

Thank you.
