First Service at 600 miles?

[Peter Aawen]

I change the oil in my 2021 F3 every week...whether it needs it or not.

:hun: It's usually only British bikes (& old Harleys ) that leak out that much oil!! :banghead: . But at least you know with them that when they stop leaking you hafta add more oil cos they's completely dry!! :roflblack:

Read any motorcycle or car forum...Oil threads never die. They just get recycled over and over again.

I mentioned to my dealer to throw it in for free. You know the answer to that. Does the dealer get paid for all warranty work from BURP ?

Yes, it was that dealer. Overall I was very happy with the dealer but I haven't had to use them for service yet. Have you had negative experience with that dealer or just know about the 600 mile recommendation.

No idea this question would spark such good discussion. I think I will check with them to make sure it is just an oil change and get an estimate.

RB - I am also familiar with them. Sales people were all but rude. I had what I would consider a very helpful conversation with a mech in the service shop, but when I then asked for a quote for the work we discussed, he did a 180, telling me there was no way that their shop would do the work. The full story on that is a different topic. The original dealer (Woodbridge) did tell me that the 600 mile oil change was recommended, but that they would discount it, and it was only an oil/filter change, but that they would also check a number of 'routine' items that typically might show an incorrect torque setting, or a bolt that simply was not fully tightened at final assembly,etc. If the original dealer weren't a 3 hour drive, and if I didn't have to leave it there for 4 days, I'd probably go. I've had similar conversations with 5 other dealers (including MM) and have been less than confident that they could perform work from an experienced point of view.

Do you happen to know what the part numbers might be for the drain plug sealing washers and O-rings ?
Since BRP says to use XPS 4T 5W40 Synthetic blend oil, I'd go with that. But I'd like to see what the cost for a filter and those washers/O-Rings are. There are "oil change kits" sold online for $140USD, but the oil itself is like $60USD, so I can't believe a filter (even a K&N) and the O-rings and washers would cost another $80...
