Well...I have to pry my hands off her long enough to have her serviced for the first time.

No problem's to this point , #114 , only 600 miles of "SEG" 's !!! I love this bike !!!

I have'nt been able to visit this site much lately , and I see things like having the ECM re-flashed , and other recommendations , but without reading every posting ....

I was wondering if there's anything I should ask to have looked at or checked while she's in for service ???

Take a printout of the service bulletin that has corrections to oil quantity and level checking so they don't over fill it.

Just to be on the safe side.

Just follow what everyone else recommended on here about process for avoiding a huge oil mess and you'll be fine. For kickstand, I went a step further than everyone and put a bread bag over it and secured with a rubber band. Other than that, piece of cake.

This bike was made Function first! That's why they put the side stand under the oil filter, so it would surely get lubed at least every oil change... ... Brilliant!!!

I Love my 1125R!

G'day Ken

Mate if you dont have any issues with it you only need to make sure of the oil thing
they will do everything by the book.

I had SYN3 oil put in it's worth the extra expense it's $23.95 ish a quart over here
Lots of people over in the USA seem to do their own but it would viod the warranty over here.

Regards Brett
