600 mile service question

before I get blasted by you guys, hear me out, I have owned over a dozen bikes in 20 yrs. kawi ,yama, honda, suzuki, always bought new. In all those years i have never paid for a 600mi service, ive always done my own maintnance. Dealer wants 300 to change oil and adjust chain . ecu should be up to date as i have only had bike less than a month. This is my first Duc, dealer gave me impression if i dont do svc, bike will self destruct. any thoughts, any 1 else not go to dealer for 600 mile rape?

Well I bought my oil today , but I guess i will still have to take it to them to clear code, I guess I could make a deal for the chain adjust, but what if they wont clear code (maintnance reminder) that would probably drive me nuts.

My 600 mile service was just done. They had some ECU updates, recalled parts and oil change to do (base ABS model). Bill is approx $188.

just changed oil yesterday, will still take it to dealership see what they are going to charge to adjust chain? actually just need code clrd, but what are u going to do. great price at 188, I was quoted 299.99 or just shy of 300 as they call it.

Do the chain yourself , you have the SS guage in the tool kit ,
Put it in Urban mode with rider setting only ...
Get yourself a torque wrench and have at her...
you have the spanner in the kit too...

its not so much doing it , as i feel im going to have to give these guys (dealer) something to get that service notice clrd.

well went to dealership to pick up ergo seat, talked to service manager,told him I already changed oil, he stated he would clear code, adjust chain and check for updates for 1/2 hr labor, about 50 otd, I can definately live with that, hopefully they will keep to their word. So far so good.
