I still thinking why the dealer charge us the first service. Strictly talking the 1st service is not a service, is an adjustment of the bike because the dealer needs to know if everything was ok from factory and viceversa (the factory wants to know if there si something wrong with the bike or with the assembly by the dealer). I paid more than expectedToday I brought my R18 to the dealer in Chattanooga for the first service. They did a fine job and I was pleasantly surprised to get a bill that was less than anticipated. The only "fly in the ointment" was the realization (by the service folks AND myself) that the R18 requires a NEW final drive lubricant that's different from all,m of the other BMWs and, as a result, the dealership had none on hand. So I will probably change the final gear lube later WHEN BMW SUPPLIES THE NEW LUBE TO THE DEALERS or when I learn what the new specs are and obtained it myself.
