Default Warranty Question
Will it void the warranty if I go over a few thousand miles before I get my scheduled maintenance?

I would think so. I was told for my first svc that I could go 200-300 over.&nbsp\\;

They give you a little latitude, but I would not think a few a thousand, especially the first one.

Don't worry about your warranty, worry about your bike.&nbsp\\; That first service is critical.&nbsp\\; I'm **** about clean oil, but it's the very best thing you can do for your bike.&nbsp\\; Get er DONE!!

Good point.&nbsp\\; Clean oil and other lubricants is always a plus at any level.

I don't think this is first service, an 07. Still. I wouldn't go a few thousand over on anything. Better to do it early, money well spent in the long run.

I change the oil every 2500 miles. A few thousand over is skipping the service all together.&nbsp\\;
