i put my in when i reached 500 miles... the main thing that needs to be done and you could pretty much do it yourself, is changing out the break-in oil.... but bring the bike in the shop is always good...

I actually did mine at 40 miles after the break-in method by mototuneusa.com, and then did it again at 200 miles. Even though mine is a smaller bike, the mototune break-in method can apply to all motors. www.mototuneusa.com

If the service is free why not. But you should know how to chang your own oil. Worth while getting your own manuel.
