How difficult is the break in service to do? I have all of the needed tools..... I just don't want to spend 200+ at a dealer. Is there something I should watch out for? Any opinions appreciated. Thanks, Nick | ||

Sorry. I have a 2009 Lightning xb12scg....it's basically a fluid change and a bunch of cable checks... | ||

So it looks like I need the following (according to the service manual): - HD Multi-Grade SAE 10W40 - Oil Filter (63806-00Y) - Trans Fluid (99851-05) - Clutch Gasket (?) - Oil Filter Gasket (?) - Drain Plug O-Ring (?) - Tans Plug O-Ring (?) Can anybody help me fill in the ?'s Where do you guys purchase the maintenance items? Thanks, Nick | ||

Nickh, Shouldnt have to worry about any of the gaskets or o-rings. They are usually in good shape after only 1000 miles. Gets the fluids and your filter and just do a basic drain, change, fill, check. Side note, now is a good time to switch to synthetic if you would want to. Everyone will give you mixed opinions and whether or not to use synthetic and also mixed opinions on brands. I use AMS. You can use the same sythetic oil in the motor as in the trans. Feel free to email/private message me with any questions. I like helping others who are learning. | ||

Sorry about missing your post......I just finished up the service after work today and everything went very smooth. The service manual is great to have, it already paid for itself. -Nick- | ||
