First Service - dealership or anywhere?
600 mile service on a new bike will be due in 3-4 weeks. Does it matter of done at a dealership, or can I just go to my local bikeshop and get it done?
Glanced through warranty and didn't see anything saying has to be dealer serviced, might have missed it though. Catch is dealer is 40 miles away, local is <1. |

Re: First Service - dealership or anywhere?
Dealer that sold you the bike will have the labour for the first service included in the price. Give then a phone to ask if this is the case. Book early- you'd be amazed how long the waiting lists are. (and do more than 150 miles a week!
 ffs! It's a new bike- you shouldn't be off the seat!)

Your local dealer has to use Genuine Suzuki Filters I believe and do everything according to the schedule.
Has he experience of SV's? |

Re: First Service - dealership or anywhere?
I'd be going to the official one for the first service really. Like G2D says, the first one is normally free labour, think mine cost £15 for sundries. They always say the first one is the most important, and is supposed to cover things like making sure nuts & bolts are all in at the right torque and the like and that everything's bedded down right.

Re: First Service - dealership or anywhere?
Same as minimatt, was about £20 for sundries, you should really get it done as the bike has "running in oil" which I believe is a lot thiner than the normal oil. someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: First Service - dealership or anywhere?
Mine was free too.
Did the dealer not mention the first service when you picked it up. |
