Can anyone give me an idea of what the dealer does on a 1000 mile service? The dealer I bought my bike from said I should bring it to them for the service. If they are only going to change fluids id rather do it myself and put the oil that I want in there. If there is much more to the job I am willing to let them do it and change my oil after I get it back. I guess I could always ask if they can do the service without the oil change and see what they say. Just trying to get an idea since it wont be long before im due for the service.

Thanks
Dave
