My wife got her last May, left over brand new. There was one recall, gas cap and also do your first service at 600 miles. My dealer told me it changed to 3000 miles which is wrong, I spoke with BRP, it's 600 miles follow maintenance in your owners manual. We just replaced rear tire only lasted about 6000 miles put on Kumho Ecsta AST. I just changed her oil last week, very easy and order filters from Baja Ron if you do it yourself. I was gonna do rear tire myself until when I looked at it I figure the $80 they charged me was worth not having to deal with belt drive, making sure I adjusted it right, etc. Just ride and have fun!

Service intervals: we are talking about two separate engines here.
The 990, two cylinder requires first service at 600 miles. Then at 4,500 mile intervals.
The 1330, three cylinder requires first service at 3,000 miles. Then 9,500 miles later (12,500 miles) OR once a year--whichever comes first.
The OP is talking about a 2014 ST, which is the two cylinder variety. 
 
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

I did the service at 14K on one  and 28K on another. Neither needed any valve adjustments. I am not even considering it on my final two cylinder until at least 50K--if then.
The newer 1330's do not require periodic valve check maintenance. 
I will have to disagree on the valve check. I just had mine done at 14,000 miles and 7 of the 8 valves were too tight. I know a few others that had the same situation. I guess it's up to you on if you want to roll the dice.

The manual that comes with the does have the correct intervals, but most of us don't get into that fine print unless a need arises. It is scary to me that some dealers don't know diddley about service intervals. [emoji106]
Totally agree with you, that's what we did relied on dealer went to make 600 mile appointment and was told we didn't need it to 3000 miles. Well they were wrong as I spoke with BRP and confirmed it's 600 miles. You would think dealers know about there products that they are selling and servicing??

For $7k I wouldn't complain either! As far as the ignition, I think I'd take that to the dealer seeing there's some programming involved.
