Got an appointment tomorrow to take her in for her first service. She's right @ 4,700mi. What is it I want to be sure the dealer does or does not do? The one thing I know I don't want, is them changing out the final drive oil, but anything else to be sure of? If this is covered in the owner's manual please disregard and I will look at it tonight.
Really nothing to do but change the oil & filter. Check fasteners for tightness like brake calibers and ride brother ride.

Ok, I'll ask, why not have them change the final drive oil? I'm assuming cause you are doing it yourself? Is there any reason not to change it at 4k?
I don't believe the final drive oil needs to be changed for awhile. Just oil and filter and general look over for the most part. Valves should be checked at 16k somewhere in there is brake/clutch fluid but that's quite a while too. Very low maintenance machine for sure one of the reasons I love them.

My dealer also through my bike on the computer to check for error codes. Probably a good idea to have it done at the first service.
Leave rear end alone until 25K... I think ... check manual.... it has moly in it and needs to stay the recommended time... other that that... I would change oil every 5K . air filter at 25 and ride the dam thing !!!!!

I believe the first valve check is at 32,000 miles. At least that's what I remember without referencing my owner's manual....Originally Posted by Wmorgan2k
