6K Service
Dropping off my 2016RT at the dealer Tuesday for its 6K service. The tires still have plenty of tread (PR4s), so I believe all they will do is an oil change, flush brake lines, reset service reminder, and the rest is just visual inspections. I'm a little surprised they want to flush brakes already, but that's fine. Any other service you would recommend while it's there?

Making the assumption that you have had the bike a year?
Brake flush is first year and then every other year
Wouldn't hurt to have final drive oil changed, LC bikes are so darn easy to change
My 15 has 8000 miles, rear pads are starting to look a little thin, something to keep a eye on

Just a little over a year old, picked it up in April of last year. Good idea about the final drive.T6pilot wrote: Making the assumption that you have had the bike a year?

Re: 6K Service
Picked up the bike yesterday. Clean bill of health on everything, so ended up just flushing brakes and oil/filter change. Bill was $417.90, which seems high, but I guess you don't buy a BMW to save money. I'm happy to have the warranty coverage, but looking forward to the day when I do my own maintenance.
