7500 mile checkup

What all needs to be done at 7500 miles, just rolled over to that!!

I haven't hit that water mark yet, but I would suggest a look at MOM.

I could email you the maintence chart but you would have to pm me your email since it is hidden on your profile

Just unhid it, didn't even know it was hid!

Also, how much will the 7500 checkup, cost me??

The recommendations are in the small owners manual that comes with the bike.

As luck would have it, my bike was at the dealer today for its 7500 mile service. They changed the oil and filter, air filter, plugs, final drive oil and checked all fluids. Total: $195.72, but I paid $0 since it's covered under my prepaid service plan. It's nice to have her back in the garage.

I'm really suprised the dealer would go the extra mile and change the final drive oil since the maintenance schedule doesn't call for it.

Hmmm...thanks for posting that CJ.... I just turned 7200 on mine this morning, so I was interested in what all they did. From what I can tell... I can do all that myself and save $$$!! I highly doubt my shop will be able to get such a quick turn around anyway since it's almost season here and everybody is bringing their bikes in. I'll stop by on the way home and check though....

I called them on Tuesday and made an appointment to drop the bike off Wednesday evening and pick it up Thursday evening. I gave them all day Thursday to get it done.

I had 7227 miles on the bike when I dropped it off.

For those who opt for it, some of the great things about the prepaid service plan are; about $100.00 per service, as opposed to some more expensive ones I've seen listed here, and (at least at my dealer) I get same-day service. My dealer is an hour away. I can leave at 8:a.m., arrive at their 9:a.m. opening time, drink them out of coffee, watch TV in the lounge, visit with the folks in the shop, read the paper, walk across the highway and harass the guys at the Harley shop, and I'm on my way back home before very long. Can't beat it! :^)
Also get in two nice rides, to boot!

Unfortunately, my dealer's hours aren't very compatible with my work schedule and it's a little bit out of the way for me. It was the dealer closest to where I live, I just live on the edge of civilization. If I wanted to, I could take a day off and ride to the dealer and they'd work on the bike while I wait, and I've done that in the past. I just didn't want to burn a day off this week. The place is crazy on Saturdays, so that's not an option. They seem to take real good care of me, though and I appreciate that.

Well, I completely understand that! In my case, retirement has it's benefits! Heheheheh!
(Sorry!)

I thought the driveshaft splines and swingarm pivot need lube at 7500. (That would be the expensive part.) Maybe the 1600 has a different schedule than the 1500.
