O.K. I'm back again with a few more questions.
First, I'm going to do an oil change before the riding season heats up. This is no problem since I've been down this road before. My questions are these, I just changed the oil in the late summer/early fall with about 4,000 miles on the odometer. I have had it parked in a heated basement all winter on a charger. The oil change only has approximately 400/600 miles before parking. Is it stll a good idea to change anyway????? I have an '07 Sportster 1200 XLC. Have only used S.E. Synthetic since new. Second, I'm going to drain and refill the primary for the 5,000 mile service. Some say wait until 10,000 and the manual says 5,000. I figured while I was doing the oil, I could do this also. As I 've stated before, I don't have alot of faith in the dealership, and I know I have enough mechanical know-how to do these services. Is doing the primary at 5,000 needed, or can I wait until I have accumulated more miles???
Any suggestions would be great!!!:newsmile020:
