When you say immediately, is that like before the 1000 mile service? It kinda makes me grin, wishing I was a fly on the wall whenever the day comes and my bike gets plugged into the “digital tech” computer. In my mind I picture a red beacon begins to flash and a siren begins to sound, all while the word “VOID” blinks on the computer screen. 😎

Yep, I bought the bike ordered all the stuff ( FP3, exhaust and intake ) and as soon I had it all,I installed the lot. At that time there was approx 220 miles on the bike, If I had to wait
until the first service I could wait for years I do all the work myself and never ever go in at the dealer.

And yes, will be interesting to see what happens at the 1k service. Here in the UK it is less of an issue. In fact the local dealer sells FP3s as well as the usual SE stuff.
