It's time for the 1000 mile service. What am I going to be getting in exchange for enough money to by a PCIII? Is it mandatory to take the bike in, or is this something you can do yourself? Did anyone else do it?

Adjusting the valves, changing the fluids, balancing the throttle bodies are all reeally easy. Checking the CO and the TPS are a little more involved but will pay big dividends in how the bike runs.

 

Yet, taking the bike 'in' is no guarantee that the shop will realy take the time to sort all those things. My shop ( at the time of purchase) had the attitude, "it starts, it runs, don't mess with it."

 

Also consider poring over the fasteners routinely to snug everything back up.
