    Well I got the Dyna her first service today. 1600Km service cost $310. $200 odd in labour and the rest in parts and enviromental charges and GST.

    Does $310 for her first service sound right?

     Sounds about right SG. The second one will be closer to $400. Start saving!

    Fark! The BIL was $850 for his Fatboy but that included a new front tyre and that was for a 16000Km service.

     Yeah thats tank off adjust valves, fork oil, brake fluid,  all oils, the works, new front tyre fitted would have no change out of $320-340. Lucky your BIL works hard!

    Probably but Im not a rain rider and shift work doesnt help either plus Im a slack arse!

     

    Also forgot to add. My bike pops on decelleration and they said its due to the screamin' Eagle mufflers. They also said a super tuner would fix it. WTF is a super tuner? A box that changes fuel/air mixes? Whats the $$$ of them?

    No worries Terroristone Ill do a search.
    UG the only thing done to the bike was screamin' eagle mufflers and they were modified :) a little. No change to anything else on the engine.
    It burbles and pops on deceleration. They say it wont hurt the bike and I actually like the sound it makes.

    I reckon the search engine blows harder than Lindsay Lohan. Sometimes you get useful info, most times you just get confused. I've actually found that if you just type your question into Google then you can just click on the HDForums suggestions that pop up.

    Just my opinion tho, maybe I'm doing it wrong? I can't even manage to turn the key on my bike all the way off...

     hi,

    great thread, one of my favorites for sure

    does getting the service/workshop manual help if you want to service yourself fella's?

    and what about tools?

    thanks

    +1 on the service manual if you want to torque back to Harley specs.

    God you crack me up UG!
    I used the search engine and worked out a little as to what a super tuner is and what is does.
    I also worked out that there are3 a heap of different types and brands of tuners.
    ALso my 2012 Dyna has different connectors and software and most tuners wont work with it. Thundermax are still in the process of making a tuner for the 2012 Dyna as an example.
    I dont think I will be bothering as UG said Im a type 2.
