Fellow Buellers,
I just bought a new 2006 XB12SCG and want to change the engine oil at 200 and 500 miles, before I take the bike to the dealer (maybe) for its first service at 1,000 mi. What oil should I use (not synthetic, I know) in these two intermediate changes. I think I'll buy it from H-D but want to know the weight and the label. I will also change the primary oil, which I have bought already as recommended by this board--FORMULA+. I'm headed out the door for my first ride!!

you can use synth oil -- see your owner's manual for factory recommended wieghts and brands --

of course, a real purist would use bean oil, but it's tough to find these days (smile)

Just use SYN3 in both, keep is simple. Dont forget to fill the tyres with nitrogen, 79% mix recommended.

But, do set the suspension per the manual. Dealers in general dont seem to be good with this.

I used HD dino at 200 and 500. Then I went to M1 at 1000.

Seems to have worked just fine.

Good luck.
