Yep.
And i was told by the dealer that it was 3500 or every year, whichever came 1st.
The 3500 miles always comes first for me, so I completely forgot about the time limit

Yeah, I know. But it is true, at least with the desmos... Main reason I didn't get the 748 I looked at. Also, because I couldn't afford to fix it when I crashed it

The manual has it at 15000 first but isn't very helpful after.
