1,000 mile service?

[Back In The Saddle]

I have a new 08A - and I did the 600 mile service, and the manual says it needs a 1,000 mile as well.

The dealer I bought it from (CalCoast Motorsports) service department is booked for like 3 weeks! So, I called another dealer in Thousand Oaks and they said I didn't need the service until 3,500.

Advice?

Refresh my memory. What exactly is called for in the 1,000 mile service?

My manual says 4000 is the next checkup. The only thing I can see that's critical at 4,000 is engine oil and steering head bearing tighten.

Not aware of a 1k service but, if you want...

First, ride to the dealer.

Next, pay an outrageous sum of $$$.

Finally, bend over and say, "Thank you sir. May I have another?"

Don't have it in front of me - but it seemed to be minor (like oil change)...

In my owners manual, I thought it said 600 (which is the most critical) and then every 4000 after that.

Bikes are like women, you don't need to worry about anything unless parts is fallin off. Until then ride it.

You might want to read your manual a bit more closely... It's 600 mi / 1000 km (or 1 month). The next service is 4000 mi / 7000 km (or 6 months).

Yup.

Tis why I asked my question. I thought he may figure that out when he went looking for the info.

Don't worry BITS, we won't every give you shit about this from now on. Honest.

And as for the 600, or 4,000 mile service. Do it yourself and save some cash!

Now dats funny right there. And unfortunately, so painfully true.

You're absolutely right. Sorry for the false alarm - it's a clear case of SUD (Stupd User Detected)!!

I appreciate all the quick replies.

Now with that out of the way - I'm off for a ride! :yahoo:

There is no reconditioning of the black paint. Absoutly impossible to keep clean!
