Default first service...I know I know

I'm terrible at searching, so my apologies as I'm sure this has been covered before.

1. Is there a torque for the steering head? The manual doesn't say, just that it shouldn't be loose obviously. It was just done by the dealership last weekend after it came loose in the first 600 miles so now I'm a little sketchy about it.

2. The dealer gave some thing about a 32 point check that everyone agrees they won't do. So what are the 10 or so extra checks they supposedly do the manual doesn't list?

3. What's the trick to lubing the cables?

4. Which oil...I kid

Depending on your dealer if they do the full check. Mine does. 1K is the one I would not skip but its your bike.

Stealership here does a 100% Pass-by Service. They pass right by it, do nothing....and charge you almost $300.
