Greetings my new fellow brothers/sisters. I recently bought a 2013 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide. It's my 11th bike, but 1st Harley and I have to say after a test ride, I was hooked! I bought it at Seminole Harley in Sanford, FL and all the staff there are great folks! Anyhow, I've got about 227 miles on it and hope to get through the break-in period soon, as I'm strictly following the break-in rules. Anyhow, I'm excited to own my first Harley and hope to meet a lot of you!

welcome!! make sure you swap out to either spectro oil or
red line syn motorcycle gear lube.h d is haveing problems with the 6 speed
the r/l quitens them down a-lot & you only need to change it annually.
syn 3 is waaaay tooooo thin of a oil for the tranny.
also r/l also had a 20x60 motorcycle syn eng. oil. you need that wit h the high oil temps.
manual says normal oil temp is 220-240*.

So the first 1000 mile maintenance, do they change the transmission fluid? If so, should I get the Redline Synthetic Motorcycle gear lube? I bought the 3yr/20k mile service plan so I don't have to pay for maintenance, even if I choose synthetic. Should I request the 20X60 synthetic oil? I just want to make sure I understand you correctly. Thanks!
