The initial maintenance procedure for Harley-Davidson motorcycles, typically conducted after accumulating approximately one thousand miles, ensures optimal performance and longevity. This inspection involves a systematic review of critical components and systems to identify potential issues early on.
Adherence to this scheduled maintenance yields numerous advantages. It helps maintain the motorcycle’s warranty, proactively addresses wear and tear, and contributes to safer operation. Historically, this initial service interval has been a standard practice to compensate for the settling of new parts and to address any manufacturing-related concerns that may surface during initial use.
