Default 50,000 miles??

Just passed 50K on my RKC. Had the 30K done a while back and for the most part dealer oil changes etc.
What is everyone paying for the 50K ?
Anything special they do....or don't need to do?

Your owner’s manual shows the scheduled maintenance along with footnotes stating what other things need attention at 50K. Pretty much every item listed in the schedule needs to be performed including front forks rebuild and steering head bearings inspect, lubricate and adjust. The 50K will be the most expensive of all.

Agree with the front forks rebuild and steering head bearings. I'm at 48k and was planning on getting those two things out of the way. Saving up gift cards! ha

Just had the 50,000 miles service done 2 weeks ago and it would have cost $660.00. I bought the 5 year Extended Service plan so it didn't cost me anything for that. I did have to pay for the brake pads and install and I had to pay the difference in price of conventional oil and synthetic
