Refer to Table 1. Regular maintenance must be performed at specified intervals to help keep your new Harley-Davidson motorcycle operating at peak performance and keep your new motorcycle limited warranty in force. Your authorized Harley-Davidson dealer knows best how to service your motorcycle with factory approved methods and equipment assuring you of thorough and competent workmanship.
Some maintenance items should be done at least once per year as specified, even if the next mileage interval has not been reached. In severe riding conditions, some maintenance items may need to be performed more frequently. Refer to the notes in Table 1.
NOTE
WARNING
Perform the service and maintenance operations as indicated in the regular service interval table. Lack of regular maintenance at the recommended intervals can affect the safe operation of your motorcycle, which could result in death or serious injury. (00010a)
WARNING
If you operate your motorcycle under adverse conditions (severe cold, extreme heat, very dusty environment, very bad roads, through standing water, etc.), you should perform the regular maintenance intervals more frequently to ensure the safe operation of your motorcycle. Failure to maintain your motorcycle could result in death or serious injury. (00094a)

NOTES:
1. Perform annually or at specified intervals, whichever comes first.
2. Replace DOT 4 hydraulic fluid and flush system every two years.
3. Brake fluid level will drop as brake pads wear.
4. Clutch fluid level will rise as clutch wears.
5. Should be performed by an authorized Harley-Davidson dealer, unless you have the proper tools, service data and are mechanically qualified.
6. Attempt to turn the fastener using a torque wrench set to the minimum torque specification for that fastener. If the fastener does not rotate, the fastener torque has been maintained. No further attention is necessary. If fastener moves, tighten to specification.
7. Disassemble, inspect, lubricate and adjust every 40,000 km (25000 mi).
8. Replace or have rebuilt at 80,000 km (50000 mi).
9. Perform maintenance more frequently in severe riding conditions such as extreme temperatures, dusty environments, mountainous or rough roads, long storage conditions, short runs, heavy stop/go traffic or poor fuel quality.
10. Attempt to turn the fastener using a torque wrench set to the minimum torque specification for that fastener. If the fastener does not rotate, the fastener torque has been maintained. No further attention is necessary. If the fastener moves, clean all locking material from the threaded hole. Replace the fastener with a new one or clean the original fastener threads and apply the appropriate locking agent (see appropriate procedure). Install fastener. Tighten to specification.
11. Always check lug nut torque within 805–1,610 km (500–1,000 mi) after wheel installation.
12. Disassemble, inspect, rebuild forks and replace fork oil every 80,000 km (50000 mi).
13. Check reverse operation at each service interval.
