If you buy a brand new street glide do you take it in for 1000 mile check up and do they pay for it,is it like a break in peroid or something?
Yeah the dealer told me there was no break in period just dont red line it. I got it 5 weeks ago this saturday,another 35 miles and it will be 1000 miles im getting tired of people at these dealers just wanting to make a buck and not really b truthful about your pride and joy. I understand they are at work and need to make money but were talking about a true american product here not something that is disposable
I consider the 1000 mile service an absolute must-do even if it is going to cost you money. At my dealership at least, the service includes not only changing all fluids but also flushing out the crankcase, tranny, etc. This gets as much of the fine metal particles out of the engine/drive train as possible. I just had the service done and replaced all fluids with synthetic. Everything seems to work much smoother now and my gas mileage increased from an average of 42 mpg to 43.7 mpg. The tranny is quieter and finding neutral is easy. I negotiated a number of other things into the sale and forgot the first service. Even so I consider the $300 well spent in terms of the lifetime of the bike.
JMHO,
