i am right their with ya, i am a technition myself & my dealer told me if i dont do the first service it would void my warranty. i am about to call suzuki myself and ask them because i dont feel like spending $250 for a oil change either, i can do all that myself. i have 500 miles on my 750 & i am realy concidering doing it myself. i dont realy care for bike techs all to much because when i went to pick up my bike after assembly my wife & i were walking through the parking lot one of the techs came gassing my new bike out the garage & gunned it down the street. i got some money off the bike for thatone, but garonteed that same tech is doing that same thing to all the new bikes(nice break-in hugh).HACKERS
