Yeah, I keep hearing that I would save money by doing it myself, but the dealer I bought it from (not my local dealer) said that there was valve adjustments/tuning involved...I don't mind doing work myself, as long as it's as simple as changing oil or something, but I've never done any motorcycle maintenance except cleaning and adjusting a chain, so I'm not sure I feel comfortable doing it myself.
Yeah, seems like they lied to me (imagine that, a dealer lying!)...I still think I'll take it to a dealer for the first maintenance but I'll try to do the rest myself, unless something pops up that I'm really uncomfortable with.
Maintenance sucks, I just wanna ride!
Had my 2011 600 mile done this week at Hudson Valley MC in Ossining, NY. Took a little over an hour. All fluids, oil filter etc,. and general check of bike. $162.00
