Ever hear of term call overhead? Usually set by accounting & legal dept. @ 100%.

When max-pressure is printed on sidewalk of tyre, that means it’ll probably blow off rim at 100% more than that (double).

Oil-changes that can go 10k-miles on a Toyota or 15k-miles on Porsche are recommended at 5k and 7.5k miles.

Brake fluid? If they say every year, it can go 2-yrs

In Harley’s case, they push that limit to very end and didn’t give themselves any overhead for safety. They know their brake system will only go 2-yr max. They should recommend flush every year in the manual. But who’s gonna buy a bike knowing they have to change brake-fluid every 1-year when everyone else's bike can go 2-5yrs?
