Also, I'm with Trip. I'm not dicking with the fluid when it comes time to change it out on the 1125.

If you are comfortable bleeding brakes you can just as easily bleed the clutch. Done it many times on my futura, only PITA on that bike is accessing the slave cylinder. I think its out in the open on the 1125, I will check tomorrow when I go home.

Not a big fan of bleeding brakes either.
Screwing with hydraulics and the possibility of air bubbles makes me nervous.
Besides, that's why I paid extra for the high holy service package when I bought the Buell.
I want to spend my time riding, not wrenching.

i actualy like doing most of the maintenance work myself. With a good mityvac bleeding is a breeze, but I do see the concern of getting air in the lines.

Speaking of the buells I need to make sure my local HD shop still services them, otherwise its going to be a bit of a trip for service.

The one by me blocked out the old buell sign so i was wondering if they were still servicing them. Will be fun to see when I bring it in for its 600 mile service and inspection

They most likely will.

Not all dealers have to offer the 7 year parts/service. There is a servicing agreement that each dealer must sign in order to receive the dealer incentives on Buells.

Many dealers who previous to the 10/15 announcement were dealers, are NOT going to be parts and servicing dealers going forward.
