If you run over a pedestrian you have bigger problems than claiming warranty on your broken throttle cable.
The warranty will claim faulty parts. If you have any sense, you won't do anything to cause something to break.
I do oil changes with super tec oil and filter from wal mart. Change every 2k miles or every other month in both cars, my bike, and scooter. (scooter doesn't need filter lol).
Can't believe some people let other people feel up on your vehicles!

The best part of all this is the trust in dealership mechanics, on a time pinch. Don't get me wrong some are trust worthy, but the only way to know that it's all been looked over is to do it yourself. Who says they don't drain the oil and change the filter then send you on your way..

I get free tires for life so long I do all the services with them. So for now Im doing just that.
You know now that I think about it, my dealership told me that my warrenty wouldnt go into affect until after I got my first service. So if I didnt do the first service there I would have no warrenty. Again thats just what they said to me and may not be true.

untrue man, sorry to say but if you're like me and moved before the first service was in effect the dealer had no idea of knowing whether it was done. I moved and rolled 600 shortly after getting here.

its all about your dealer
This discussion reminds me that there are some bad dealers out there. The place where i got my bike was straightforward, when i asked about break-in, maintenance and warranty they just said "follow the manual". So I did and took it in for service at 595miles. My bill was $51.85. Yes, it is twice the cost of the oil & filter, but nowhere near $100+ prices others are posting.

The free tires thing is usually a scam. By the time you're eligible for "free" replacement, you'll have more than paid for the tires in inflated service costs.
And they're flat-out lying about the warranty. I'd look for a better dealer.

Do it yourself
unless you have absolutely no mechanical aptitude. Check your owner's manual to see what needs to be done. Most of what is noted the mechanic will not bother to do because that would take time, and thus diminish the dollars per hour per mechanic the service department needs to generate. What you'll get is a very expensive oil/filter change, chain adjustment (if necessary) and lube, and fluids level check. Besides, you'll learn a lot about how your bike is put together by doing it yourself, and with the money you save you can buy some riding gear and/or aftermarket parts to customize your bike. Good mechanics are hard to find in a dealership because most leave for their own shop. The mechanic I use for things I can't do myself used to work for a dealer but wouldn't go along with the dealership's shop policies (quantity v. quality). I'm not saying that you can't find a good, conscientious mechanic in a dealership, but changing the oil/filter, checking/topping off fluids, and putting air in tires is something you'll enjoy doing for yourself.

That is funny. So, you'll (the dealer) thank me if I don't buy it, right?
