Just had a look at my owner’s manual. It says first service 300 – 750 miles. I’d imagine there is also a wider tolerance that can be applied to that.
So yeah, I might see what I can find out this week, as its now, according to the manual, ready for its first service.
It would be good to get that service. I’ve been trying to stick to the 5000-rpm run in limit. So once its serviced I can use the full rev range. Though I have to say with, according to the dyno chart, 95bhp and 95lbs-ft of torque available at the rear wheel by 5000 rpm, running in is a fun and speedy process! 6[sup]th[/sup] gear at 5000rpm is about 90mph.
Having never owned a new motorbike I'm not quite sure what the first service would actually be? Surely nothing more than an oil change and possible a check and re-torque of major bolts?
I know obviously the first service (and subsequent ones) have to be done by BMW to cover the warranty bit if for any reason you cant get it done then would it not be worth changing the oil yourself just to make sure it's done within the original mileage?
