NOTES
1. Perform annually or at specified intervals, whichever comes first.
2. Should be performed by an authorized Harley-Davidson dealer, unless you have the proper tools, service data and are mechanically qualified.
3. Perform maintenance more frequently in severe riding conditions. This includes extreme temperatures, dusty environments, mountainous or rough roads, long storage conditions, short runs, heavy stop/go traffic or poor fuel quality.
4. Perform spoke tension check at 1,000 mi (2,000 km), 5,000 mi (8,000 km), 20,000 mi (32,000 km) services and every 15,000 mi (24,000 km) interval thereafter. Not all vehicles have spoked wheels. Consult appropriate topic in the service manual.
5. For torque instructions, see Shop Practices in the service manual.
6. Check for leaks, contact or abrasion.
7. Brake fluid level drops as brake pads wear.
8. Use HARLEY LUBE.
