Regular Service Intervals
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)
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 are scheduled at least once per year, even if the next mileage interval has not been reached. In severe riding conditions, some maintenance items need to be performed more frequently. Refer to Table 1.
NOTE
  • The use of parts and service procedures other than Harley-Davidson approved parts and service procedures may void the limited warranty. Any alterations to the emission system components, such as the intake and exhaust system, may be in violation of motor vehicle laws.
  • Some countries, such as Brazil, may require all regular maintenance to be performed by an authorized Harley-Davidson dealer for your limited warranty to remain in effect. Check with your authorized Harley-Davidson dealer.
  • Some countries, such as Brazil, require additional annual (or semi-annual) regular maintenance steps to keep your limited warranty in effect and/or comply with vehicle regulations. Check with your authorized Harley-Davidson dealer and the motorcycle regulations in your country for local requirements.
  • After completing the final service interval, repeat the service schedule starting at the 8,000 km (5,000 mi) interval. Refer to Table 1.
  • Whenever a vehicle is in for maintenance, always check for and complete open recalls and product programs.
  • Whenever a vehicle is in for maintenance, always verify that the latest calibration is installed.
