$350 first service...all they did was change the oil! I need a

as well!

no more...I do my own service now and am working on buying all my tools and supplies!

sorry Boo....I gotta say:

hehe if you need a copy I'll send it! But it's in the owner's manual under your seat

No option for me....zero spent as I did the work myself...that may change as the miles rack up...

haha I have a copy I didn't get one with the bike, but I downloaded it..

It is so much easier just to ask lol

I will just bring it to the dealer and tell them to do what it is they do at 4,000 miles hehe. OR, make(ask sweetly) my husband

and have him do it.

don't be sorry. I am being way lazy. I am at work and bored to death(probably could be reading the manual).

Touche....all good points...I vote that you have husband read it, and do it...you can reward with beer and

or stop him in the middle of doing it and

on the bike ... that's a good idea... my 8,000 mile service is coming up...perhaps I'll invite the girlfriend over

Great idea! he will love that. Everyone needs a cheerleader now and again. Infact, his bike was running terribly so we went out and bought a new air cleaner, new spark plugs and changed it all out. I held the gas tank and whatever else I could do to help. Oh and I bought him stainless steel cables which he loves. We pretty much do everything together, even if I can't help. I sit and talk with him.

That is why we need to meet up soon. Hopefully in Sept.. Oct will probably be chilly .. so we shall see. Our friend is still in his cast, but maybe we will get up to Conway for a weekend.

We're on vacation in Florida from Spet 6th through the 21st. Maybe plan something for the weekend of the 27th? At least a meet someplace we can get to? Doesn't have to be bikes.... I know! We always go to King Richard's Faire. Interested?
