    IMPORTANT!

    You MUST take it in at 898 KM EXACTLY or your warranty will be void! This means you might have to carry it some of the way but it's better to be safe than sorry eh!

    Nah! Stress less. Hit 800km and book it in. 100 km either way won't matter. It's already stuffed! (pt)

    LOL!! You've made my day! Growing up I always wanted a VW, the old school type - don't like the new ones

    Arrow Either way, the customer is right.

Then there are the few people that tell me that I chould take it in @ 800 like the manual say's or I may not be eligible for the warranty.
    Can anyone please tell me if this is true or not, my bikes @ 700 k's now. Or am I really just being paranoid?!
    Tell the shop THEY WILL be doing the first service as per manual. Or do they think they are a bigger know it all than the manufacturer?
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    My wee Goose clicked over to 1000kms while I was out riding today - quite a memorable moment as I was frantically tooting to try and get this damned hawk off some roadkill right in front of me! So now it can go in for its first service and I can start thrashing it!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
