RE: 08 RG First Service
Yes, this is the first 1000K service. \\; Bike is 2 weeks old.
Using their synthtic this time since they are doing the work...didn't think I had a choice?
They are going to do the normal checks and lubs.
Also getting them to check..
Front end, seems to bottom out some and head light shake.
Also checking the engine light that come off and on twice before starting the bike.
Being really brief because sometimes what I write will not post.

RE: 08 RG First Service
I am going to get them to look at the front end...seems to bottom out over larger bumps.
 \\;
Also the engine check light comes on like normal and then off, get ready to start it and it comes on a second time then off and then starts fine and never comes on when running?
 \\;
Rear break squel...
 \\;
Anything else I should get them to check that they would not normally at the 1000K service?

They're not gonna do anything for your rear brake squeel....mine does it too. Change out the pads to Lyndall Z's and it will get alot better. \\;The engine light is because you have a historical code probably, they can clear it or you can clear it. Run heavier fork oil in the front and that will help.

Mines the same as Rockey Rox. They will not go to Synthetic untill 5000 miles. After this point I can do my own with what ever I please as long as I keep all the documentation in order to keep my warranty valid.

Go with synthetic 80/90 gear in the trans or 90/140 if you live where it is really hot
