I’m at my 600 mile break in service. What should I expect from a dealer for time and cost?
I think you'll probably gasp when you get the bill. My recommendation is that you call a couple different places that service Yamahas (if your area has a couple) and just ask them what their charge would be. A 600 mile service is probably going to be a flat rate unless something out of the ordinary happens, so they should have a pretty good idea ahead of time what their charge is. My guess is that, bare minimum, it;s going to be a couple hundred dollars. If they use Yamalube full synthetic oil in the service, that's already going to be about 17 bucks a quart retail (not counting the dealer's markup), plus probably 20 bucks for a Yamaha OEM filter. It's a good idea to ask what sort of oil they're going to use. So right there you'd be in for about 88 bucks just for supplies. Shops don't all use the same hourly rate, but $120.00 per hour for labor isn't uncommon. It might be a lot more where you are. Even if it is a flat service charge, they're going to build some sort of labor cost into it. Based on everything they're technically supposed to check on a 600 mile service, building in an hour or hour and a half labor wouldn't be a shock.I’m at my 600 mile break in service.

Or how much integrity they have.. . . . It's tough to say how much actual time it'll take; that probably depends on how busy the shop is.
