Zeek 2,284 #1 Posted December 25, 2020 Most of us have multiple things to maintain, which is a pain. I don't keep manuals in my garage because it's too humid in the summer and they don't do well. In my spare time today (plus it was 42° outside this morning and I'm a cold sissy) I made a spread sheet which I thought some may find helpful. If you have a computer and can use Excel you can take the one I attached and alter it for you. I stick mine in one of those plastic sheet protectors you use in three-ring binders. Once you download it, click the yellow "Enable Editing" button at the top and you can make your own Service Notes.xlsx 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,769 #2 Posted December 25, 2020 I've made numerous detailed maintenance charts but it seems that now I only work on what doesn't work when I need it... I've GOT to get ahead of the curve somehow! I'd forgotten that Lawnboy uses 32:1... Nice start! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A: Empty I remember those days . . . the Evo helped a little, but Twin Cam 88 finally did the job. Plus the old 4 speed trannies . . . now we FINALLY have 6 speeds.

A: Empty Long ago a friend who rode Harleys got tired of leaving "his mark" everywhere he stopped so he bought a Goldwing. He liked riding new so he'd trade in a lot but got tired of getting beat so he went back to Harleys. Didn't leak anymore either! Harley did have a bad rep, even putting "diapers" under new ones in the showroom! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
