Having changed my own oil at 600 miles and having already surpassed over 1200 miles I am likely not going to bother with taking the bike in for the "official" 600 mile service. In the past I have taken all my new bikes in for this.
I know that some dealers can and will give you crap if you didn't do it and show up for warranty work. I have pretty much performed all the checks listed in the manual so I am not too worried about it. And, having already owned an FZ6 before, I know how reliable they are and am not concerned with having any issues that would require warranty service within the year of coverage.
Out of curiosity, has anyone ever had the dealer find anything on their bike that was just really out of spec when taking your bike in for the first service that could have been an issue had you not brought it in or checked it yourself? The first service, when you think about, is really a cash cow for dealers as it is really nothing more than a CYA situation in case they screwed up the final assembly.
