Hi,
Id first like to say that I've really learned alot about bikes using this forum - some great questions and responses from the members!
I recently purchased an '04 500R and I am really enjoying it as my first bike. Im just getting done with the break-in and although I had to keep it under 4K rpm for the first 500 miles, Im amazed with how quick this bike is.
My question is about the first recommended service. Both the dealer and the manual recommend having the bike serviced just after break-in for valve adjustment. This service is going to run around $300 and Im just wondering if it is all that necessary. I'd hate to think that this is some ploy just to take new motorcycle buyers for another $300 just after purchase. Any info. would be appreciated!
