can any one advice me on the cost and of what needs to be done on the first 750 miles service. The Italian dealer i purchased the bike advice me that the 02 models the first service is not expensive about 200 €uros, and only the oil and filter is to be changed. In contrast when i contacted the UK dealer told me, that the first service is a mega one and it would cost 320 pounds sterling, (480 €uros) over duble the cost.

The most expensive is checking the valve clearance. Mine was of on all the exhaust valves, and in the specification on the intake valves. Are the 2 dealer offering the exact same service? (oil change, valves check.....?) this is all labor, the only parts are: the oil, oil filter, valves shims if required, so how munch they charge per hour?

First Service was 150.-- EUR ( No Bill received, means no Tax paid ) ) Second ( 6000km ) was 350.-- EUR

I have been told by my Dealer the following sevices are about in the 350.-- EUR Range, wich i think is moderate, considering the Fact, they have to check the Valves.
