This is dumb. Either do your own maintenance or realize that dealer maintenance cost money, a lot of money. It's that simple.

Very spot on. I own a 2023 Lowrider ST and spent more money on parts remedying issues from the factory like blow by. It’s not even fun riding my bike knowing the amount of money it’ll cost to maintain. I do my own work, but regardless going to the dealership is ridiculous. I’ll need new tires soon and I Know HD would charge an arm and a leg.

Dealerships are all the same, all over the world. Customer service is long gone it's about how much they can squeeze out of you ; especially when it comes too services. I'm in the UK and have had the same experience

Ichange all the fluids and filter myself. Harley Davidson charges top $ prices for crap work. H D is addicted to easy money like a junkie on cheap horse.l never had a dealer do anything but mounting tires. Don't pay them $200 to change the oil. Do it yourself and save money.

This was a GREAT alternative video to the one you made earlier-by not seeing the speaker, the focus becomes the SERVICE OF THE DEALERSHIP. Great idea! ; )

I’ve been hearing that a lot of Harley dealers employ people who are not even passionate about the brand. They often ride other brands or not even ride at all. And many are aware of the tricks they dealers force them to use on costomers

Iv heard this story before

I would think if you'd paid for servicing in advance then a copy of the paperwork would be given to you. A bill of sale for the bike would list the OTD price and any extras such as the handlebar swap, service plan etc. would be itemised. Who pays a dealer 20k+ and doesn't get a reciept for the cash?

Subbed 👊😎

What's funny is I hear the same comments from half the guys I ride with but most of them still keep giving their money away to HD. Those in the comment section blah, blahing away about "doing your own maintenance" need to take a seat. The majority of Harley riders out there don't even own a ratchet set let alone have an assortment of tools, let alone have a dedicated space to work on a bike, let alone have the mechanical ability to work on one. Why do you think near the end of the riding season you all of a sudden see HD showroom floors filled up with used, modded Harleys? Because guys go out, buy a Harley, pay someone to deck it out, then when they've had their fun pretending to be Peter Fonda they drop these bikes like hot potatoes before they break down. The bottom line: Misery loves company. You're not a 'real biker' in their eyes unless you're sitting right next to these HD riders racking your brains trying to figure out how to keep your bike on the road for more than 1500 miles without worrying about catastrophic engine failure or flipping through telephone book-sized catalogs wasting money trying to completely reinvent your own bike. While we're at it let's really be real here. Beyond changing the oil, air filter or the spark plugs most of you don't know how to true a crankshaft, perform cylinder honing, clutch work etc. so stop bragging about doing your own work. It doesn't make you any more of a man than watching Easy Rider will make you more of a biker. Furthermore, if you think the dealership service bay is going to save your riding experience chances are you're wrong there too. I know too many guys, even the ones who dropped money on extended warranties, who have had horrible service experiences. too many guys have had their warranty claims denied because their techs didn't know how to properly diagnose or repair their bikes. It comes down to if your area has 3 or more dealerships only 1 out of those 3 are going to have techs knowledgable and experienced enough to fix your bike right the first time. And again let's be real here. You can research any other motorcycle manufacturer--Other than BMW and Ducati you're not going to hear a fraction of the problems from their customers like what you hear from HD owners. A motorcycle is a simple machine in comparison to an automobile. It should not be that complicated and maintenance intensive to keep a motorcycle running. But you talk to an HD owner and they'll have you believing you're less than a man if you can't completely tear down your bike and repair it like a professional when half the Harley techs who do this 6 days a week as a profession can't do it. If they could HD dealerships wouldn't be fazing out service to older bikes. Half these HD dealership service bays have repeat customers because their techs couldn't fix the bike right the first, second or third time.

so true.

Doing maintenance on a bike is like feeding your dog. Learn to do it or don't get one.

Go buy what you want and stop show boating. Buy what you can afford! Cars, bikes, house, food. All the same😢

Just buy a Honda or Yamaha, your wallet will thank you. Your first service will cost 50~80 dollars. No electrical problems no leaking oil and no 900 lb. Motorcycle

Used kal k l r when you don't have anything to prove and you just want to ride.

How much freedom do you get with a debilitating five year debt that leaves you nothing over for actually riding it?

It's never too late to learn how to work on your bike. If you don't, Then, 😂.

A.I Bashing gets old. now a days all brands and products have issues. I did not know a bot would be mad because its loan for a new Harley was disapproved.

The dealer here has ripped off a few people i know, including refusing warranty covered repairs before the warranty expired!

I got it but if all your decisions are financially sound then you are probably drinking water and eating rice cakes. Don’t worry, your spouse or kids will enjoy it. Tomorrow is promised to no one.

Sounds like you got Dooped like people did when AMF bought out Harley - Davidson back in the 1970s.
