New Rocket

Hey all, just a follow up here on my question about the conflicting info concerning oil change on the Rocket. The service guy at the dealership explained it for me....the oil should be drained while hot, as usual, to facilitate full flow out. This is the same as every bike I've ever owned. However, in order to get an accurate reading of oil level when filling back up with fresh, the engine must be cold.
Thanks all for your help here.

Hi Boog....I have another question about my new rocket GT. The shop says that for the first 1000 km oil change, they need my bike for 2 days, as they say the engine needs to be cold to do a proper oil change. They say they can't count on the level reading right if the oil is hot.
But the owner's manual says, like every bike I've ever had, the oil should be hot.
Very confused here. Can you help? Thanks.

That's a load of double talk. That's sounds like telling a new guy to go find a non existent tool.

Hi all, new to the bike new to the forum. Have been riding for over 40 years, just had to get the 2021 Rocket 3 GT when I saw it. Love it. But when I picked it up, the Cruise control was not working. The little orange wrench showed up on the dash right away. The shol says the computer just neefs a reboot. Thoughts? Opinions? Thanks.
