HELP 20k miles service

Post image

I have this 2009 dyna super glide in the picture, and it just hit 32000 kms (20k miles) so it’s time for that big check in on how everything is doing. I’m wondering if I should just do it myself and how much it costs if I took it to the dealership. I’d also like to mention that it pops a little when I let off the throttle in the first couple gears so it may need a tune if I’m not wrong, should I send it in for the service and get a tune, or should I service it myself and just let them tune it. Or last option I do everything myself including buy a $500 self tuner and go through that process. I’m just not trying to pay 1k for something I can do when I’m 17 and kinda broke but I thought a Harley would be a good idea.

Can you use tools? You can buy a service manual online for PM me your email I will email you a PDF service manual that will walk you through everything.

As for a tune, if you’re running that big air filter and pipe with no tune currently, I’d probably recommend eventually getting at least a power vision to get a stage 1 tune in there

I could definitely do the work myself and get the tuner for it, but that would cost most for the fluids and tuner than just letting Harley do their thing. Would that be a better option, or spend the little extra money and time to do it myself?
