Pictures? of the mountains.While I live close to them we haven't seen snow on them in awhile.

Anyone know what they do on the first service other then an oil/filter change and an overall look maybe chain adjust? I don't recall any of my new bikes purchased in the last ten years that had a first service at such a low mileage.

Thats all very interesting considering this:
Ducati Maintenance

Not sure why not, it's standard practice I would say and has been since a long time .Pretty much all bike manufactures I know of expect the running in oil to be removed after 600odd (1000km)
Check torque on critical bolts ie. discs etc. and ecu up-date if needed.
In the last few years I've bought new Suzuki's, Yamaha's, Benelli, Ducati's and KTMs and all have had 1st service at approx. 600 miles. It's recognised as the most important service of all.

GSX 1400
Hayabusa
MT01
Bandit 1200
Trigger Generic (my son's 1st roadbike)
Husqvarna 50cc x2 (both my son's. 1 written off a week old but still had it's service, just)
TNT 1130
Diavel x2 (including my wife's)
1290 Superduke
690 SMCR x2 (one my son's)
Scrambler, on it's way. (I hope)

Also don't forget that at least in the USA they cannot specify that you must use specific "authorized" parts and or "dealers" to maintain your warranty status.

 

[DaveInWoodland]

That sounds about the same as it in the US.

Just downloaded a few pictures of yesterdays Service and ride out, Here's the one of my little screen, it really does work, in a fashion, I like it so that's all that matters
Oh , and the headlight guard ,for catching very large insects

I like the screen and the headlight guard does the screen deflect enough wind for you or do you think a small windshield would be different? I like the minimalist look of that screen.
