Title: 10 hour check-up Post by: Brutus750i on January 30, 2006, 06:31:19 PM I am bringing my machine in Friday for it's first 10 hour service check-up.
Is there anything I should know, any questions to ask or what to tell them. It has run flawless so far. 8) Yes I am newb...sorry for dumb ? Title: Re: 10 hour check-up Post by: 2006YFZ450 on January 30, 2006, 09:37:04 PM Ask about what are they going to do like Adjusting valves,checking compression,oil change,new filter,ect.....The first service is going to be pricey :-\

I am thinking this first check is important to catch any issues early on.

Yes it is very important....Make sure you ask alot of questions and ask what they are doing.... You'l be ok ;) Title: Re: 10 hour check-up Post by: apkkfx400 on February 01, 2006, 03:44:56 PM It's a glorified oil change and safety inspection-usually runs $100 to $150-I have had my '05 kfx for over a year and done all the srvc's myself with no problems. Also the price they usually tell you on the service does not include the oil filter and oil-just fyi. Or you could save yourself some money, do it yourself and learn where things are on your machine.

I'd learn to do it yourself, the easy things, and then let the shop do the harder things. An oil change and cleaning the air filter are things you can do on your own. Visually inspecting everything, checking for loose bolts and nuts, setting the pressure in the tires, that is stuff you can do. It'll save you some money. Clymers makes manuals for the 750, you can get one for about $25.

Title: Re: 10 hour check-up Post by: bruteforceski on February 20, 2006, 10:16:05 PM do it yourself after warrenty runs out, trust me, dont touch anything, that might leave a mark, like for example when you take out your oil pan bolt it might mark it, just be carefull what you do, you dont want to void warranty, even though warranty work can be a pain in the a$$, it is still good to have it.
Title: Re: 10 hour check-up Post by: Mudneck on February 20, 2006, 10:19:28 PM I wont pay the dealer either.Performing scheduled maintenance will not void warranty. I have 2 - 05 prairie 700's,its the modifications that will void it.Sometimes even if they are dealer installed.I do need to know if the valves need adjustment after 20 then it will go to dealer.
