Get really familiar with your bike...
#6
Any recommendations from you guys on books/manuals aside from what comes with the bike to steer me in the right direction? At the very least, I'd like to be able to check my bike after service from the dealer so I know they did what they were supposed to

I'd love to learn how to service my own bike, but don't even know where to begin! This from a gal that always likes to do for herself, but with a husband that insists he can do it and then I don't have to worry...

Currently, with the Harley, I'm a victim of trusting the guy that just worked on my bike did what he was supposed to, but in my history with Harleys, I've already seen bikes sent home with oil leaks, missing bolts, missing oil caps; hell, I witnessed a pissed tech working on some guy's bike when he beat the hell out of it with a wrench! Thankfully, I also witnessed his boss tear him a new one over his behavior!

...you guys are absolutely right - no one will give a shit about your bike the way you do...your best defense it to be more educated than they are!
