Don't know cost. I have always done the service myself.

I think (don't have it handy) the service is spelled out in the owner's manual.
I don't know about there, but out here an oil change at the dealer runs about $300 including parts and labor.

What else is included in that oil change for $300? A normal dealer service visit?

My mistake after I looked at the receipt, $203.43 total. Oil change kit plus labor on a 2014 ST.
Still working toward first oil change for the RTL. Probably in the same ballpark though.

My dealer says $300, will let dealer do that to discover any warranty probs and those goofy things I can't do, then it's oil changes for me.

Well unless you told them WHAT Tension to set it at .... they used the BRP spec. .... in my ( and many others here ) it's a lot higher than it needs to be. There is talk here on the Forum that BRP's high tension spec. could be re-lated to the pulley/ spline issues on the F-3 and some RT's ..... good luck .... Mike

When I got my 3k mile service on my 2018 RTL, I asked what the belt was set at. I was told towards the top of the recommended tightness. I asked that they loosen it to the lower end of "recommended". They refused. Not sure if it was because they aren't supposed to change it if it's within BuRPs specs or if the tech was too lazy to do so. Either way, I'll see if I get a vibration on the new bike. They don't have the stock F3 bars in stock yet so I have to go back in a couple weeks to get those installed. If need be, I'll have them loosen the belt a bit then.

I was thinking about getting a Krikit before the next service just to get an idea of what they are setting it to before and after.
I assume there is a difference between unloaded and on the ground, but a baseline measurement would be helpful.
vibration is not totally absent, but it’s not bad. I think the tires contribute more.
Is there a board sponsor that sells Krikit?

The list of what is done in the 3,000 mile service is the first one in your operator's guide Maintenance schedule. Where you live determines what you'll pay based on local labor rates.

otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Yes, BajaRon sells the Krikit II, and it works a treat. Peggy's 2013 STS is at about 160 in the air, and 180 on the ground.
