You really should have a 600-mile checkup done, not just an oil change. It cost about $80-90 bucks, and they check everything, including changing your oil. Just take it to a trusted dealer.

600 mile check up, Check chain tension, check fluids, not worth me giving them 150 for something i can do myself..Dealerships are garbage.

Find a different dealership or bike shop to do the 600 mile maintenance. I found that if I can't go to my dealer (which is awesome, but an hour away), the local Yamaha dealer is VERY good compared to the local Honda dealer (which sucks tremendous *****).

600 miles checkup is the dumbest thing i have ever heard. i dont know anyone that changed or adjusted anything on their brand new bikes until 3k miles.
