[QUOTE="SndyRds, post: 165974, member: 21650"] I think it's kind of an either, or situation. The bike will be assembled by a kid making minium wage and it will be wrong for you. All motorcycles that I know of are shipped without oil, and serviced at the dealer. Even though It's a new bike , if it were me I would take it home and disassemble it, grease it with good waterproof grease, set up all the controls, loc-tite the fastners and put my prefered lubricants in it. I might ride it once or twice, or break it in first, but I do this to all my bikes. Be sure you have a manual for torque settings ans control routings. The down side of getting it in the crtate is that the deraler has a sheet they sign off, as to them assembling it. If it's done wrong the fault is thiers, if you do it you take the responsible for it , if there is a warranty issue. I could be wrong about the amount of grease that the euro's use when they assemble thier bike as I've not had the pleasure of putting one together, but japanese bikes come with only a minium of low quality assembly lube, virtually dry. Good luck,,, and let us know what you decide and how it works out:D [/QUOTE]
