motoman21 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I got my 08 R6s last month and went to get the 600 mile service done. It seems to me that it was a high priced oil change. What does this service entail? Im pretty good with the care and service of my car, I do my oven repairs and service. Could I do the same with the bike?

chrisw Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 600 mile service includes, checking everything is set up ok still after it's first set of miles. Shouldn't cost that much though, less than £50.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ch4lky Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hiya mate, I'd definately recommend having the 600 mile service done. I have just bought my R1 and have phoned my dealer to ask the exact same question. Apparently it is necesary as part of your warrenty, and it's free anyway. Some may ask you to pay for the oil. Everything that was part of the initial check before your bike was deamed roadworthy will be rechecked - Brake pads, fluid, oil, and bolts etc - Like a mini MOT. My dealer said they usually just charge £30 quid for the oil, worth it I thought if only just for the peace of mind. Hope this helps, Happy trails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
