    I just purchased a 2004 FLHRS with 458 miles on it. No record of any type
    service work. Should I change all the fluids and treat it like a new scoot, or
    just ride it until it's ready for it's first service?
    Thanks,
    Ron

    If it has been sitting around, throw the gas away and if a carb, drain and clean that too.
