That's good to hear! How much did you pay? I found it was $120, and $80 of that was labor, so I did it myself.

Sounds about right. $220, though I had a $10 coupon off my next service.

I'm young and haven't been around bikes/engines long enough to do these things myself so I let them do my first service. Oil changes and the pretty easy stuff I'm going to start learning to do myself since I'm out of money. But valve adjustments etc I'll bring it in.

just hit my break in period today. and took her into the shop already. i didnt think too much about the rpms i just made sure it was never a constant run at lets say 5k rpm. i would constantly shift just to give it from 2k-7k rpm but i do admit a few times i did gun it on the highway and reach 9-10k. and i did practice wheeliesfor about 30 mintues one day and was constantly reving it to about 10k for brief periods of time (i did pop my first wheelie ever though...it felt real good). my brother-in-law (who is a huge bike fan and rider) told me he read of a guy who builds all sorts of motorcycles for a living and he breaks them in the opposite. he guns them and revs them way up all the time. i think this is one of those topics like clear or tinted visor

I got mine two months ago, it was raining a lot , so I could not ride much. I am following the instrucctions in the owners manual regarding break-in, I avoid prolonged operation above 5800 rpm, when i get 1000 km I will take it for service. So far I have 600 km, I travel to work 53kms each way, when it does not rain, and I use the highway at 100kms per hour for about 25-30 minutes on 6th gear.I also done shorts trips around town.
Anything wrong with that?Thanks from down under.
