Harley-Davidson Maintenance and Service Checklist

Investing in a Harley-Davidson motorcycle is a major decision, and maintaining it properly is key to ensuring its longevity and performance. Addressing minor issues early can prevent major problems down the line. Regular home maintenance and professional servicing are essential for keeping your bike in top condition.

Service Frequency

To keep your Harley-Davidson motorcycle running smoothly, it should be serviced by a professional at regular intervals. We recommend your first service at 1,000 miles, followed by every 5,000 miles. If you notice any issues between these intervals, contact our Service Department at New Orleans Harley-Davidson.

Oil Changes

Regular oil and filter changes are crucial for keeping your engine running smoothly and preventing wear. If you use mineral-based oil, it should be changed every 2,000 miles or twice a year, whichever comes first. For synthetic oil, change it every 5,000 miles. Always replace the filter when you change the oil.

Brake Inspection

Your brake system needs regular inspection to ensure the brake pads are not excessively worn and the fluid reservoirs are properly filled. A professional will check all components of your motorcycle's brake system, including the discs and fluid lines, and may perform a road test to identify any squeaking or grinding issues.

Tire Pressure and Condition

Regular tire checks are essential for safety and performance. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure before every ride or at least every few rides, and inflate your tires to the recommended psi levels in your owner's manual. Inspect each tire for worn treads, uneven wear, embedded objects, and sidewall cracks. A professional inspection will also include checking the tightness of wheel spokes (if applicable) and assessing the overall condition of each tire.

By following these maintenance guidelines and scheduling regular service appointments, you can ensure that your Harley-Davidson® motorcycle remains in optimal condition, providing you with a safe and enjoyable riding experience for years to come.

  • Fluid levels check and top-off
