hahahha...Yeah I thought so. I get the idea.

This just happens to be my 1st NEW scooter and harley. Yep... the games the same on both sides of the motorcycle world. This will be my 1st and probably last trip to them.

..and you guys forgot about the special Screaming Eagle WAX that reduces friction and gets you about 5 HP!! [sm=drooldude.gif][sm=yeahsmile.gif]

After the first 1000 miles fasteners may have a tendency to work loose. So they should go thru the bike and tighten everything to make sure nothing has worked loose. They will also check the belt and chain tention because they should have stretched. Complete fluid change.
If you bought the bike new from the dealership, they would have given you a service check list for maintenance. It tells what should be done at what number of miles.
