I took mine in for the first service but have done all service intervals since myself.... get a service manual its worth every penny.
I agree with Polarbear - I did the same 1st to the dealer to check everything,the rest I do with a H.D. factory manual.Work on it yourself - you learn how it works and how to recognise any faults.
bart's answer about using non-Harley oil is bogus. If the dealer tells you you must use HD oil he has to provide it free of charge. refer him to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975
They also check and adjust the primary chain and drive belt. Not getting it done can void your warranty. That's something to remember if you are thinking of skipping it.
Its VERY important that the first service is done by a Harley Davidson Dealer and a factory trained mechanic and he must fill out and stamp the service card for the bike.


getting it serviced, or using off brand, non HD oil by a rice burner shop will void your warranty.


and you better be nice and friendly to your HD Dealer, don't moan and complain about the bill because that dealer can void your warranty for any reason even if you piss him off.
mostly wil just give it a shake down and see if anything is loose and will cost arm and a leg i did my own after knowing how much they wanted to check it out but you get a oil change and it check really just call and talk with them about it i didnt do mine and ive rode 80,000 miles stil doing fine been in shop twice in ten yrs that i couldnt fix it myself
