:shock: I have an 08 GL1800 that will be coming up on 8K as soon as spring comes and I'll have the dealer do the service.
While looking at the shop manual I noticed that the 8K maintenance requires the "secondary air supply system" needs to be inspected. I also noticed that at 12K the air filter needs to be replaced.
I'm quite puzzled, given that both are a major parts/wiring removal operation, why would they want each done at a different time? It looks like the secondary air system inspection is a greater amount of work than the air filter. Why not do both at 8K or 12K?
Actually I think I'll request that the dealer do neither until about 24K. I hate to see the seat, meter panel, top cover, control module, and gas tank removed this soon.
Any suggestions or recommendations?
