I did the first service this morning. It's the 1000km service.

They did the following:
1) The installed the latest flash.
2) Changed Oil (he said he put 3 liters)
3) Checked various other things, (coolant, clutch and brake fluids, etc...)

I complained about the whining the belt makes. He said he lubricated it but it still whines. Anybody else have that?

When I got the bike there were some scratches on the bodywork. The dealer ordered a new fairing, windshield, and passenger seat cowl. They installed the new parts today. These are warranty items so I didn't have to pay anything. I was very happy about that.

I also installed a pair of Night Design pegs and some gel grips. I need to adjust the shifter arm lower to match the lower pegs. Ironically the brake lever is fine.

And when I got home there was a box in the doorway with my new Corbin seat. It's really nice. I ordered it with a textured black leather top and Navy Blue leather trimming to match the Diamond Blue frame and wheels.
I can't wait to install it.

I'll take some pics and post them tomorrow.

Let me know what you think of the Corbin. I haven't got a clue on the belt. A friend of mine has had his in numerous times for an alignment issue with the belt walking off the sprocket though.

The total was $187 (taxes in).

Not too bad.
