Well, dropped off the 09 RG at my local HD dealer to get the 5K service done (Yes, I know why not do it myself... it was part of the deal when I bought the bike in Dec 08). I've been going there for 10 yrs, 2nd bike from them and they treat me well.
I brought in my own oil, Mobil 1 V-Twin 20-50 to switch over from the dino HD 360. I ran M1 in my '02 Sporty for many years and not a problem.
I brought in the Spectro 6 speed tranny oil. I had it in there before and liked it alot, thus kept using it.
I had them use the HD Formula + for the primary/chaincase. I was thinking of switching to Redline, but the F+ worked for me.
They did all the other items noted on the 5K service list as well as a nice bike wash.
They also did the tank mount recall. I have not even noticed what they installed yet.
I also mentioned to the service mgr that I had the 407 front tire. He said.. oh we will switch it out for you. I didn't even have any issues with the 407, but when I picked up the bike, a new D408F was on! It did seem the front of the bike ran alot smoother, maybe a false sense, but it did feel like it.
And later today I've gotta clean my K&N air filter. Usually clean it, let it dry overnight and then spray the oil on it the next morning. I cover the intake with a rag so nothing gets in.
Well, all in all I'm pleased and I beat the Bike Week rush!
Ride safe and have fun!
