1st 5000 Mile service
Indy shop in Palm Bay, Florida called Tempest.
They're charging me $192 plus 2.5% shop fee.
This seems really good compared to the dealer's $350.

It's gonna cost you around $80 for fluids (syn) and filter. It takes me a couple of hours if I check spokes, grease the steering head, do the air filter, adjust the clutch, have a couple of beers in addition to tchanging the fluids. If you have some skills and a few tools, it's not hard. However, if you are one of those guys who shouldn't be allowed to buy tools, it can turn very expensive--stripping screws on the derby cover, removing the wrong plug in the bottom of your engine case, and cracking the case putting it back in overservicing the primary, etc. I am not knocking those guys, just the way it is. Kinda like I would love to be paid millions of dollars to chase a ball around, but I don't have the skills no matter how hard I try. If you can change the oil and spark plugs in your car, you can probably service your bike.

It could be fun, but I don't have a lot of free time.
