New rider with a new FZ6R. Did my first 600 miles in 9 days, including 80 mi per weekday of commuting. My dealer has a huge backup of service jobs, and told me that the 600 mile service is an oil change and a bunch of inspection, so I changed my own oil and am waiting my turn ...

a) my bike drank down 3.5 quarts before anything showed up on the stick -- alarming? And yes, I did sit the bike up vertical (off of the side stand) and run it a little before I looked.
b) I don't own a torque wrench, so I used my judgement. No leaks so far -- alarming?
c) any compelling reason to rush into the dealer to get the service before, say, 1200 miles? Not having any issues.

Mods:
tank protector -- ordered yahama white but it didn't match the white paint of the bike
center stand -- want to get, should I get Yahama or is there a better choice?
grips -- any ideas on something that will help prevent my hands from going to sleep?

Thanks!
If your hands are going to sleep you are holding on to the bike with your hands too much. Squeeze the bike with your legs and lightly hold on to the grips.
