600, then every 4750 after that. You'll get the annoying little service light to remind you! /images/icons/crazy.gif

You manually shut off the service indicator - press and hold the lap button and the "R" button for 5 seconds.

Check tappet clearance, change oil and filter, check cables, brakes, chain, etc. Change fork oil at 4,650k. All the basics.

Just for clarity's sake - Tappets (valves) are every 10K. Mine were fine until 20 when 2 exhaust valves were slightly loose. All else can be done in your own driveway. My shop only sees my bike every 10K.
