    Default F3 1330 first service, park or ride?

    Looking for opinions. My F3S has about 2980 miles on it, and my first service appointment is scheduled for three weeks from now (that's the soonest they could get me in). This is the 3000 mile service. Should I park my ride and joy till then, or limit my riding over the next three weeks, hopefully going into service at about 3500 miles? I know, should have planned for this in advance, but did not think it would take three weeks to get in. Thanks in advance.

    Ride it. I did my first on the 2014 at 4,500 with no issues. Just check your oil to make sure your good.

    I have had the same thing happen to me. Dealer said "don't worry about it, as long as its within reason".

    I just turned 2300 today after a ride I checked the oil, still on full mark and looked like it was put in yesterday, I sure wouldn't worry about going over 3000 !!!

    Default Ryde on....

    that 3000 miles is a recommended point. you can go before or after with out a problem. It's the same oil they recommend 9,300 miles between changes. They mostly want to check all systems are a go so if you have no problems keep ryding....
