7500 mile service
My bike is a 2003 1500 FI with 7900 miles. According to the service records that came with it, the previous owner only did oil & filter changes every 1500 miles. The last service was on 10-2004 at 7,000 miles.
My question is about the 7500 miles service in the owner's manual. It looks like I can do most of the items listed myself. The items I will have trouble with are: propeller shaft joint lubrication, front fork oil change, swing arm pivot lubricate, & steering stem bearing lubricate. I do have some mechanical abilities, changing my own oil & tune-ups on my truck & cars. But I will admit, I am a novice when it comes to motorcycles. I did call my local dealer & they gave me an estimate of $500-600 to do the scheduled service. SOOO......How many here do their own major servicing? I would hate to have a bunch of "EXTRA" parts left over as I cleaned oil & grease off the floor of the garage Thanks -Rich Login or Register to Remove Ads |
