1K Service
You guys think I should take my new 08 Ultrain for the 1K service or do it myself, I did all the other service on my 06 RG with no problem, just thinking about the warranty..the stealer wants $300.00 for the 1K servie on a touring bike....thanks for you input

Do it yourself. Not only do you save money, but the dealership by my house you have to make an appointment and then they keep the bike for a week. I do buy the oil and filter from the dealership because the keep computer records of the purchase. That way I have reasonalble proof the work was done in case there's warranty work necessary.

Use the money you save to buy a J&S lift, service manualand misc tools. It's more fun doing it yourself and you know everything got done. Save big $$$ over time. .02
I paid for the 1000 miles service and then thought about it. $300ish is a lot for what they do at the service intervals.

That said, the dealerships definately charge you way too much money for that service! If you don't want to do it yourself, find a reputable indy shop nearby, and you'll get it for about half price most likely. I'm getting my 10k done in a week or so (if I ever make it home!), and I believe that service at the dealer is pushing close to $500; I'm getting it done for about $230 at an indy.

RE: 1K Service
Thank for all the input, I do have a lift and most all the tools you could want, might even give me a reason to get a new tool chest...I have no problem doing the oil/tranny and primary myself and I perfer to do it myself so once again I guess I need to get my hands on a service manual and start a log book on all the maint done..Thanks again...oh yea what brake pads do you guys recommend. I know I read about it on here somewhere but can't remember
Thanks
