[@Lone_Paladin]

I think doing your own first service is a way to bond with your bike. It's good to know how it works and for you to get used to working on it. Also, I don't want some kid making $15 an hour accidentally banging his tool on it or scraping it against another bike. Last, I don't know how long it takes them to do the service, but I don't want to sit there and wait while my bike goes into a queue. My bike is the R7.

[@calebdean6997]

Thanks man, just bought an R7 and was hesitant to drop the $400 that they wanted for 600 miles of riding. So I looked into what an actual service looks like... and this is something I did all the time on my last bike🤦‍♂️

Your warranty will be void if you don't get the bike serviced at the dealer. Your just riding your luck hoping nothing goes wrong with it. If it does it won't be covered under warranty this I can guarantee. "I bought my yz back in 2019 and I have owned it for over 4 years" which year are you living in exactly?? Dude you owned your cbr for over 4 years but what's the mileage on it? I bet it won't be more than 5000 miles and you think something will go wrong on an engine with low mileage? "Hard break in" let's see if that engine lasts 1,00,000 miles. If it does then I'll believe that break-in is B.S.

[@ChristianPerello]

did the first service on my 2023 ninja 650 myself. Changed the oil at 600 miles. sitting pretty at 2600 right now.

[@lucasmager5557]

I paid for my mt 07 first service as the stamp in the service book is required to maintain the warranty and it cost me £100! Is it really worth saving that to void the warranty?

[@pauls3696]

Yep are be putting it in for 1st service

[@cocochrisp4422]

Could not agree more. First services are just a money grab or for those that do not bother to do the research. Especially these Japanese bikes. Built to perform and last. Just stay on top of proper maintenance and they will keep on pushing!

[@alexv5581]

What a naive and ignorant comment. The first service is mainly to check your bike is still in tolerance as intended by design. Engine, cables, bolts, screws at correct torque specs (especially the chassis), brake pads, and more. The only person here that didn't bother doing their research was you smart guy. The first service I actually prefer a tech looking over my bike and then afterwards myself until the next major service. Stay away from European bikes, your laziness is apparent.

[@everythinggaming7938]

I never buy a new bike anyway I always pick up bikes that have done about 7000 miles and look brand new! I save a lot of money that way, as I don't pay full price and skipped a few services (i make sure to buy ones with full service history) also they normally come with free mods done by previous owner like after-market exhaust, tail tidy, fancy LED indicators, heated grips etc.

[@ac2-rm141]

Depends on the Bike look at used MT07 the only one I found in Cali where within $500 dollars of a new bike. I saw one with 20,000 miles on it and it was more then a brand new one.

[@highlymobilehobo4161]

I would never buy a new bike because they always charge you all kinds of fees. Not worth it. I bought my WR250R with 500 miles and paid $5,500 instead of like $6700 + another $1000 in dealer fees.

[@SteveSavage79]

[@cG-es8mb]

Dealer told me they just check your fluids and change your oil and oil filter. He said I can do first service myself but keep the receipt. I have a z900 and I made sure I used Kawasaki parts. Got the oil change kit. It cost me a little over $60 for the kit

[@petrol11]

My dealer told me if you haven't got a paper trail, Suzuki may push back saying the bike may not have been properly maintained according to their standards if you come to make a warranty claim - if you know corporations, you know this is probably true. During warranty period I would HIGHLY recommend service intervals are done at the dealer.

[@MrWolf2212]

When I had Mt07, I did oil change and adjust the chain at 500 miles. I did the same with my MT10. Those bikes are super reliable and just need regular maintenance to keep them going.

i don’t know, i don’t think the first service is a terrible idea. I agree it’s usually more expensive than a regular service. bolts come loose and things might not wear in as intended and some people like to see service records if buying used.

[@stevezeeTee]

Lots of sales agents will include it on the deal to help sell a new bike but it is important to get the break in oil out early once the engine parts become familiar with their neighbor. Lot of people shouldn’t be trusted with a wrench though so I get how dealers survive 😂

[@bwxmoto]

Only brand new bike I ever bought was a '17 XSR900. I did the first oil change myself, then had the dealer do the rest of the "first service" and they charged my $40. I did it mainly for the warranty, and they do check over some important nuts and bolts and stuff and check over the bike so that's fair.

[@KjKase]

That's incredibly cheap. My dealer told me $300 for my MT-09, I read the manual to see what the first service would even entail and I thought "well that's easy, I'm gonna do it myself and save the cash". I'd probably trust my own work over their apprentices anyways. Although, I've had a decent amount of experience learning (and sometimes screwing up) on my older bikes.

[@gooklogander7]

I thought you were going to say doing change your oil after the first 500 miles LOL I was going to say you’re on crack. Because that first oil change is actually important. And trust me that bike is already broken in by the time a customer buys it at the dealer😂 we run and rev the piss out of them.

[@DirtFishing]

I bought a new bike this summer. After about 600 miles I changed the oil and then called the dealer to see about the "first service" I mentioned that I had already changed the oil and he said, thats basically all we would have done no need to bring it in.

[@Desert679]

I just did my 1st full service (600 miles) 2022 Yamaha R3 and chain adjustment at the dealership, they charged me $110.00 - reasonable imo.

[@CycleCruza]

if you did it yourself it would be less than $20 and only takes less than a half hour. An oil change and chain adjustment are about the easiest things you can do on a bike and I'm not one that enjoys wrenching. Also, you have to factor in taking your time to take the bike to the dealer and wait because sometimes the dealer mechanic takes forever.

[@Desert679]

@@CycleCruza I agree and personal satisfaction of doing the job yourself, I'm still in the process to get a center stand and oil tub. Next oil change I'm doing it and chain adjustment hands down.

[@thisandthat1265]

Just done my first service saved £175.. Oil and filter check chain tyres and suspension easy job. Use manufacturer components. It's illegal for the main dealer to say you have to take it back for the first service .

[@jdmikeg4]

Some places REQUIRE you to do the service if you want to make a warranty claim or keep your warranty valid. It depends on the dealer.

[@CycleCruza]

Eh I've never had to make a warranty claim on any Japanese motorcycle in my life. You only worry about the warranty on Euro bikes.

[@efrey614]

I’ve seen on new Japanese bikes as my friend only buys new the dealer said he could do it himself as long as recites were kept and kinda documented. I’ve never seen a Japanese bike go majorly before warranty though. I buy very lightly used like new, original older owner Japanese bikes ,and save a lot of money that way.

[@hachi-rokuperformancegroup3987]

There is a right to repair act so they can't void your warranty. Harley has been sued for doing that to customers

[@ggnyc2017]

Very true I have encountered that where they insist on 1st service

[@jvillain9946]

It doesn't void the warrantee unless they can prove that some neglect or modification caused the issue. Dont let them fool you

[@kennv7566]

Japanese bikes do first oil change and maintenance yourself, use that $300 that you saved on oil, filters and parts for future maintenance instead of giving that money to a dealer. Harley and European bikes I stay away from because they don't want the owner working on his new bike. You know the game, it's all about dealers making money off of new bikes.

[@jpolhamus71]

No offense to you but that's some shitty advice to be given people.. It's all good until your bike breaks down and they don't want to cover it because you didn't get the 1st service I've seen it happen time and time again.. They may not be able to tell if you did a soff or hard break-in but they definitely know if you got your 1st service or not. Now service is after the 1st service you're free to do yourself as long as you document the oil and filter you use. .. the first service is very important..

[@vandall0160]

Only time I took the MT-07 to the shop was when looking for the hidden accessory plug under the tank. Thought before I scratched it up I would have them pull it for my charger. I got it back $200 later and they could not find it either, but I was trying to pull it without removing the tank, and figured they would, they didn't and there are now deep scratches on my frame where they tried to use long pliers. So for $200 bones I not only did not get what I asked for, but got a possible rust location, but they claimed they tightened the chain that didnt need to be tightened to bump up the price. I'll do all my own work going forward until valve time at I think 26K.

[@veljkovic92]

Even people from Europe mostly buy Japanese bikes. Rarely who goes for Ducati or Aprilia or KTM. Unfortunately, these bikes are still not enough reliable. I'm a member of many Facebook motorcycle groups and rarely i see someone post a problem on japanese groups. But on European it's so often...

[@deedle6073]

The point is that they have to account for the lowest denominator of the customer base and have to account for the ones that know jack shit about working on them on their own. Some people have never touched a wrench in their life.

[@jag1963]

Why would anyone pay the 17 year old they just made a mechanic who doesn't care about your bike at all? Change your oil and oil filter, Check your chain tension and make sure the critical stuff is tight. It's your bike so you will do everything right. Don't have a torque wrench? Buy a good one for half what your first service will cost. Oh and don't buy bikes that have service lights that you can't turn off like Triumph. If you don't give them your money they will change their practises.

[@Sylvanas72]

I would just stay away from dealerships to get it fixed. The bike or vehicles will allways needs repaired. Its like the do things to keep it needing repairs.

[@petrol11]

I'm sorry man but you're absolutely full of terrible advice. People do not listen to this. Do a proper break in. Do get a proper dealer service so you have PAPER TRAIL LIABILITY completely covered in event of a warranty claim. Just because this dude has never had issues, it does not mean you won't, and guess who'll be left holding the bag when he's proved wrong (tip: its not this guy)

[@1991enduro]

I would as the engine is brand new and you have just run it in so for 50 quid I'd change oil and filter as engine brakes in

[@CycleCruza]

I'm referring to not having the dealer do the first service which is a glorified oil change. I always change the oil and filter after 500 miles and check the main bolts to make sure that are tightened to spec but that is all you have to really do.

He said don't worry about it, if you have mechanical knowledge and you've worked on motorcycles before he recommended doing the first service myself. Thanks cyclecruza for the video it's always nice to get another riders perspective on things like these.

Just picked it up after having my 1st service Cost $428 After picking it up, I immediately noticed a difference in the throttle response. Clutch cable was adjusted, brakes adjusted, and it was hooked up to a computer. Things the average Joe dont have or do The 1st service is more than just checking bolts and changing oil. Perhaps do a vlog with a certified mechanic at a dealership and let them explain what exactly they do. The difference in performance was immediately noticed. So yea, well worth taking it in!! To each their own

[@blackfish-xn8zo]

Almost like some people make videos to spout out opinions instead of facts. The first service on MTs include a throttle body synchronization, which as you said, the average joe doesn't have the tools needed. It's more than just oil change and chain cleaning too. There's a whole checklist for torque specs they go over to make sure nothing came loose and the bike won't kill you.

[@07szim]

do your own service... at the very least , the oil filter & oil change.

[@pauls3696]

Give me the glory fide service anyday i want that stamp ive never spent 10K before on a bike so i would rather spend the money and get the dealer to do the 1st service

$545 for first service on 2023 Mt09 SP .. crazy!!

[@theprodigalstranger5259]

I always get them to throw in the first service, just negotiate the price first. Pretend to be disappointed like youre gonna walk and throw it out there, 9 times outta 10 they cave.

[@8OneOfTheNobodies8]

If you buy a brand new bike and dont follow the service manual you risk the warrenty to go out the window. I have a kawasaki with a 5 year warrenty but it requires that all services be done at a kawasaki dealer, if not there are no warrenty

[@WilliamWBG]

Not in America. Federal Laws prevent manufacturers requiring dealer service for warranty to remain valid

[@mikemiller774]

What is the point you're trying to make every time with YZ450 not doing a rebuild/valve check on time and being over it by a stretch in hours? That it doesn't rattle yet and it's all fine there? Or the point about keeping 4-5 years, that does not tell anything, it's the miles that count. Overall looks like a negligence attitude. I would understand if you said like:" yeah, i've got a full service repair manual for each bike and i am doing everything what is meant for every mileage/time interval". Does not look like the case.

[@CycleCruza]

There is a dirt bike motovlogger that has had a 2019 YZ450FX with like 500+ hours and the valves has never moved out of spec. I'm doing this as an experiment. I will get a top end and service done on the YZ this winter and will share the results. I'm not one the enjoys working on a bike, I'd rather be riding than wrenching.

[@stuglenn1112]

Far being from me to know what's in CC head, still maybe his point is that some of these service intervals are somewhat arbitrary. Although I sure some engineering went into determining the intervals. As for valve adjustment/check I've had about a 1/2 dozen bikes with either shim over or under bucket adjustment and NOT ONE of them has ever been out of tolerance at the first valve check. Some of them it's a major PITA to check the valves as you have to remove about 1/2 the bike just to get at the valve cover. So it may give you a attitude to push it, more so if the engine is running well. I can say with older bikes that had threaded adjusters that's not the case, so those I would keep a closer eye on.

[@irontitancycles]

I was considering where to get the first service for my bike. I always thought it was some BS but was too new to be sure. Thanks for this video!

[@beastofthehunt]

Whatever service you do on a new bike will be the first service

[@ToddNormanE]

Lost me at "European bikes are not the most reliable bikes". All cred lost.

[@davebrown6366]

That's so true and funny shi#. I own a FZ07 2017.... solid as shit. I have 7580 miles, and changed the oil myself. You're so absolutely correct about that first service. Dealership laughing their ass off at newbies.

[@dcasandman]

If you don’t with KTM it won’t unlock some of the locked options:(

[@CycleCruza]

KTM is a big rip-off, one reason I never got one. The biggest rip-off is you have to pay like 1k to unlock some features on the new bike that should come standard. lol KTM bikes are already crazy expensive let alone having to pay to unlock features on the bike. PS. In the video, I did say with Euro bikes I do follow what they say to do as to not void the warranty which they seem to like to try and get out of paying for if it breaks down like Aprilia did me with that Tuono I owned.

[@dcasandman]

@@CycleCruza maybe, but Duke 390 is a hoot to ride and a perfect beginner bike. I’ll admit I’m a looks guy too the other beginner bikes are lacking from their bigger brothers.

In my country you lose your warranty if you dont do service in the dealership

You don't in the UK.

[@xxyauxxdc5417]

What about CF Motos? 300 SS

[@stuglenn1112]

You're right the 600 mile first service is mostly a glorified oil/filter change. Anyone allowing themselves to be gouged by a dealer for it is a chump.

[@CycleCruza]

When I bought this bike the sales guy said make sure to bring back for its first service for $300. lol I was like whatever dude, I'll change the oil and filter myself at 500 miles. $300 can buy me a lot of oil and filters.

[@stuglenn1112]

@@CycleCruza Yea, some of the dealers like to imply ( or at least people claim they do) that you need to have them do the first service to maintain your warranty. Of course that's not only BS, it would be illegal for them to require you to have them do the work to keep your warranty. I've heard of BMW guy's getting smoked for over $1000 on the first service at the dealer.

[@eksadiss]

Turn off your turn signal ffs

[@PNW_Native]

My KTM was leaking from the radiator, I brought it to the dealership and had to show proof of my oil change and it was covered by warranty. They had to change my radiator because where the hose connected was bent from the factory

[@M1IKIE]

My first service on my ninja 400 and my yamaha mt09 just oil and fluid check and lube. And both were under $100 then every 4k miles I pay $285 for full service and they are the only dealers within 100 miles so that's not bad. And also it's ok Harleys suck they are overrated and high priced and not enough power for price.

[@gabrielpaulolatoreno2958]

I have my 2023 r7 due for oil change service at 600mile. How far can I ride my r7 without getting the first service? Kudos brotha! Ride safe!!

[@juiced2ful]

Hey cycle cruza, i just got an xsr700, dealership told me to keep it below 5000 for the first 500 miles. Then, keep it below 6000 rpm for miles 500-750. Is all that true?

[@BIOHAZARDCURE]

Yeah lol, just change your oil. Shouldn't cost more then 60 bucks

[@CycleCruza]

change the oil and filter yourself, costs less than $20. I've been using Rotella oil since 2010, get a big 5 gal for $20 at Walmart. Or it used to cost $20, with inflation it is probably higher now but should be still cheap.

[@BIOHAZARDCURE]

@@CycleCruza Ahh fair enough. I always used the expensive stuff that smells like bubblegum haha. Pretty sure it's motul ester based. Either way it's good to do your own maintenance. Thanks for your videos btw!

[@krazokid19]

"First service" is a dealer rip off in my opinion. Just read through your manual and do all of the checks in there and change the oil yourself then boom Bob's your Uncle. Go get after it!

[@jasoncooper6584]

First service at the dealer.... Or new full exhaust, power commander and change my own oil and check torque on bolts? I know what Im gonna do.

[@AndyMontes]

Harley wanted to charged me $619 and I ran as fast as I could. They said the price included all fluid flush ( Bullsh!t )

[@kidkrusher1996]

DO NOT buy a European motorcycle or car for that matter

[@PNW_Native]

I agree

[@s2k442]

I just got a Triumph Tiger 900 and will do the first service just for warranty purposes. The question I have is why do all these dealers recommend valve adjustments every 10,000 miles or so? Very expensive job. Hell cars can go over 100,000 miles with no valve adjustments. Is this just a rip off or is it needed.

[@shingod700]

I have a ktm 1290 sar with akrapovic and my wife has a mt07 with akra also, her bike is much better sounding. I often ride her bike because it is so much fun. There’s something nice about riding a “slow” bike fast.

I bet that tuono 1100 problem u had has to do with the ride-by-wire system, yamaha has same issues with their YCC-T has to do with how the components communicate with each problem I think the problem is design-related with all chip-controlled systems

[@8alakai8]

i am a mechanic myself but first service always let the dealer do it.edit i live in eu and if you dont do the first oil change at the dealer you lose warrenty

[@efrey614]

Sure are built well. The mx bikes are for pro mx racing for rebuilding ect. I would definitely look at that piston by 400 hrs. I’d do it before. I’ve seen the 250fx get 500 hrs on top ends so I’d think that the 450 would last as long, but you are ripping on street not trail riding. In some ways the street is better if you are keeping from redline. Dirt riding especially hard race pace is very hard on bikes. A broke amateur racer doesn’t need to rebuild every 12 hrs though maybe every 2 years on a good 4 stroke race bike depending on ride time. I always do my oil changes on time for mileage but admittedly not on time for a year. New oil I’m not changing with 300 miles on it in 1 year. I just test the oil and ride it every few months if 1 of my bikes isn’t getting ridden. I must put 14,000 miles on in 6 months of riding season on 3 bikes to reach oil change mileage on everything. 1 bike I change at half the recommended mileage as 8,000 miles seems high to me. It’s cheap so I do it. If the bike starts very easy the valves are likely ok. Gets harder to start time for valve adjustment for sure.

[@Frank_Torre]

It's exactly why I do all the service and maintenance on my bikes. Some euro bikes are just a straight rip off with maintenance fees. Though I never had problems with my Triumph Daytona 675R. The Panigale 959 I had only saw the dealership service department as I've no experience working on those nor had some of the specialized tools to work on the Panigale.

[@ascerta]

I bought a brand new Kawasaki Ninja 650 back in 2017 in France, the first 1,000 kms maintenance was free.

[@Madman6505]

I bought a new ATV once and the dealer wanted me to pay like 3 grand for a "service plan" where they basically change the oil and filter and torque the bolts down for a couple years. I said frig that. Never took it back to the dealer once and never had any problems.

[@th33b33]

I did on my Harley after 1000 miles but I wanted them to go over everything. After that I’ll just do the oil changes myself…
