I'm curious to know other people's opinions about my first service experience. I bought my bike in Malta a few months ago. I was told about the long service intervals and that I had to take the bike in for a first service/check-up on 1,000km. When I did eventually take it in for the service, I was told my transmission fluid had to be replaced and this was a standard thing.
I'm curious if dealers in your countries also do the same and your opinions on it. I wasn't charged much - €85. I was very surprised that transmission oil had to be changed after 1K kms and never after then. Apparently, it's because of initial wear. I also get that but does it not wear after that?
For avoidance of questions, yes, there is a sump on the bottom of the bike and there is transmission fluid in there.
