    Nice! Hey, did you take your bike in for the 600 mile check-up? My salesperson said I should bring it in so they can make sure everything’s ok.

    Yeah, I brought it in around 700, but close enough. It’s good to get them to give it a once over and change the oil. From everything I hear, it’s the most important service. And it’s possible that not getting it done could void a warranty, but I think that’s somewhat unlikely.

    Wish I could say I was to blame for the 14k miles on my bike! Unfortunately I have just put one tank full…in 4 days!

    It’s true for some manufacturer’s that not getting the 600 mile service from a manufacturer-licensed shop will void your warranty. Certainly was true for my Suzuki. Either way, it’s definitely an important service as the bike will just be breaking in and there will be lots of metal bits and shavings picked up in the oil/oil-filter. Getting fresh oil and filter in and making sure the bike is breaking in properly is a must.

    “…it’s definitely an important service as the bike will just be breaking in and there will be lots of metal bits and shavings picked up in the oil/oil-filter.”

    That’s exactly what the salesperson said. I didn’t think he was BS’ing me at all. How much did the service cost if you don’t mind me asking?

    It’s about 1-2 hours of labor, oil, an oil filter, and maybe a few other little things. Expensive for sure, but not at all unreasonable.
