Tommy_Boy Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 My 600 mile service is scheduled for next Friday (still 10 days away) and I have 750 miles on my RT. And the dealer is 70 miles away! How far can I push it before I should just park it and wait for the service? Thanks! Link to comment

Jon_M Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I agree. Mine was done at around 950 and nobody blinked. Link to comment
MChick Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I was over 1200 for my first service, after 7 days. No problems with the dealer. Link to comment
ChrisA Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I wouldn't worry. I had 1050 on mine, just got it back today with no issue. $283 in total in case you were wondering. Link to comment
Burt Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Mine rolled over to exactly 600 miles as I pulled into the dealers parking lot. I couldn't do that again if I tried. Link to comment
yellowmike Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I've never had a 600 mile check done with less than 1100 miles. Ride it enjoy it and get the service done when you can!!! Link to comment
q2bruiser Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 My dealer said they wanted more than 600 on it before they would do the service. The reality is they would like it between 600-1000. Mine will have about 950 on it today when I drop it off. The 600 is on them. Cool. James Link to comment
kdude Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Shouldn't be a problem. I had almost 1200miles when I was able to bring it in. As long as your bike is running ok with no really extra ordinary motor sounds your fine. And the dealer won't make a big deal about it. hp Link to comment
Kermit Jackson Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 The service rep. at my dealer told me to try to get at least 800 before my service appt. and if I could 1000 would be even better. Kermit Link to comment
Mike Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 My ST's owner manual actually calls for the "running-in check" to be done between 300 and 750 miles, though the dealer referred to it as a "600 mile" service. There's no magic to any particular number, but you want to get it done fairly soon. Link to comment
Tommy_Boy Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 Thanks for the feedback! Looks like it's unanimous - get on your bike and ride! Link to comment
tallman Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I think the "600 mile" check came from the 1000km interval. Yes, you can go over. When I get my next brand new one I'll change the oil several times beforre we retorque. Don't like metal where it doesn't belong. Link to comment
Mike Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Just a little clarification, at least from my manual: the 600 mile reference relates to the length break-in period (reduced rpm's, no constant-throttle operation, etc.). The manual calls for the initial service to be completed between 300 and 750 miles. Link to comment
