RE: break in period/oil question??
^ I'm guessing you meant that if the service is 100% free, why not...
Since 99% of them are NOT free, i suggest you find out what they do for the first service, FIRST. If it's just a oil change and a bolt torque check, a chain lube and adjustment, throttle cable and clutch cable adjustment (all stuff that takes a man maybe 3 hours total to do at home, if not less) and you don't mind paying a lot of money for labor charges, parts, and erroneous random and misc. charges... then i too agree. be aware that if you are totally oblivious to what they do, they could be charging you for just an oil change and a visual inspection... visual inspection you can do yourself for free (instead of paying someone $90/hr to do... for 2 hours) and the oil change is a 30 minute job and supplies cost less than $40.
it's all up to you.
