Welcome SileradoSteve to the HDTimeline forum and your 1st post. Only 3K?...your ride is just a baby...but certainly was a garage queen for most of her life! Routine maintainance will reveal a lot and there is a host of information in the Self Help section. Fluids is the life blood and can reveal a lot...change it pronto...and put the last drainings in a clear glass like the fuel in the float bowl and smell to see what is in there. Brakes, tires and critical fasteners are next, looking for signs of aging..."you know what to look for when you see it...use the Search tab typing in keyword(s) to find specific threads on the subject. And the key here is information, an operating AND service manual are a must and worth the price of admission in either case. Get a Battery Tender to keep the charge up and your battery happy.
Abilities, resources and time are all key elements to successful maintenance and troubleshooting. Having a clean place to work, preparation, gathering materials and consumables and decent set of metric and sae tools is also sucessful. Using the right materials "genuine" HD oil filter, gaskets, o-rings and critical bits are important. Proper fluids, 100% Synthetic in the engine for V-Twins and trans are important as is good gear oil without friction modifiers to cause the clutch in primary not to slip...little things add up to a lot. Your brothers and sisters here are eagar to hear and see about your new ride! ENJOY!
