Morning. I just been told by the service guy at my HD shop after asking him a couple of questions on my 14 Tri Glide. I like using Syn motor oil and have for years even on my Evo's. But I asked him if the oil filters are the same and he Yes since 1999. Then came a question from another guy standing there talking with us about trans oil ? He said THEY recommend a HEAVIER Synthetic like RED LINE for that and that Harley doesn't have one.
OK cool Now I have all my info and ready to change things when I get a few more mins to play with my bike. Just letting any of you that still do your own Maint on your bikes. Seems now day NO one takes the time to do their own stuff any more and just take it to the dealer drop it off.
The only time I took my New Bikes in for service was the 1st and maybe the second oil changes.
After that I do all my own.
I've heard of guys that had service work done and things were not done right or something was loose. Done blame them if you don't take thins in to your own hands. OK NUFF said.
