do it yourself!!  learn a little about your bike, you will be glad you did.  then take the $$ you save and buy a nice accessory.

A quick update on the Speed-o replacement.  The dealer got the part and installed it in 2.0 hours. Everything now works perfectly!   

I do agree with what everyone says that it is good to work on your bike. At the least do the basic things.  You learn more about your bike and you may identify potencial issues earlier.

Going to have dealer do 1k service.  Final dyno tune done then (already paid for).  Hoping for improved gas mileage and a little more power.

Just had the 1K service done and paid nothing as agreed at the purchase. I do not WANT to work on my bike. I do prefer to do the cleaning and detailing myself because I know my technique is superior to theirs. BTW when I traded the old bike they asked about the service record and I was able to show all service done at another dealer.

I would recommend any one purchasing a new bike to get all the numbers down and then leverage the 1K service at the dealer cost as the last concession "just to make you feel good". ;)
