Paid $160 plus parts. Former service manager at a HD dealer has his own shop now. Excellent work, even took tank off to read the spark plugs. He found a few bolts that needed to be torqued, which he said is normal for new bikes. Otherwise, everything is great. Love this bike.

Is there anything that says the warranty will be voided if they don't do the first service?

A parts guy at the dealer I was at today tried to feed me that line while I was buying supplies to do mine. He didn't say it would be voided, just that it was "Better for your warranty if the dealer does it". Not sure how it could be better for my warranty, more like better for the dealer.

Sure the parts guy would say that since he also gets a commission on any fluids, parts used for the 1K service.

The law that makes that illegal is many decades old so even if they try to imply it they can't hold you(or someone else doing your service against you. Just save your receipts.

See you are in San Jose. I am as well. Which dealer? San Jose or the one in Morgan Hill? Did you have them use synthetic oil?
