New RT, Blue

[bikeguy]

Still looking for advice on the things to bring up at the 600 mile service.:gaah:

Your owner's manual includes a list of what should be done at the 600 mile service. The belt tension spec is still relatively new so you might mention it to the service tech. My dealer was unaware of the change until I mentioned it and he was glad that I brought it up. If you even think there might be any problem I'd also mention that and ask them to check it out. For example, I told them that the brakes on mine weren't very good. Turns out that relatively weak brakes are just a characteristic of the RT, especially when trying to compare them to my BMW. But I'd mention anything that I thought might be a problem.

Absolutely. Anything that you think might be out of the ordinary since you picked it up new. A different sound, a rattle, a vibration that wasn't there before, all these things can mean something and could cause trouble if not checked. That is really what this service is all about. To ensure that when they did final assembly prior to releasing it to you that all tourque specs are right, belt tension is good, nothing got loose, fluid levels are up, all bulbs work, no leaks, all that stuff.
