Under my service contract, the dealer has me come in every 2500 miles even though the manual says every 5000. They could have told me to come in every 5 and I wouldn't know the difference. Seems like an easy place for them to save money, if they wanted to. They must figure a little more maintenance will cut down on long term problems.

 

I never got one of those and I have an 06...good to know.

Oh, and the service guys at the dealer told me I didnt need to change the oil until 5k, unless I wanted to earlier. It seems that the time frame doesnt apply to bikes as it does to cars?? I kinda think after sitting all winter, 4-5 months, the oil should be changed, but the moco says no. Guess it's up to you.

 

I just follow the manual, 1000, than every 2500 for oil and 5000 for tranny and plugs and new rear 180 SE tire.LOL. Man those wear quick.
