Personally, I would do the oil change; it is cheap,(especially if you do it yourself) if the book calls for valve setting at or before the mileage you are at, I would get that done as well.  However, it is really your call; to me, oil and filter is cheap insurance.

Regards and such,

I know right?  The lady I purchased it from bought it new in 2009 (it's an '06)  I picked it up bout a week or so ago and have put 300 miles on it already.  :)

The valve lash adjustment is what's expensive to do...the rest is no big deal. 500 miles in how many years???

So, I'm having a hard time with the $320 bill that will come from my bikes 500mile service.  The prior owner had the oil and filter changed at 500 miles and now, with 900 miles on the bike, I'm debating whether or not to have the service done or not.  Thoughts from every one?  I have read a lot on the web that most people do it themselves as there is not much to the service.  The only thing in question that I don't feel comfortable doing myself on the list of services performed is the lifter/valve clearance check.

What do you guys think?  Do or do my self?

Thanks everyone.
