THEY DO NOT CHANGE ALL THE FLUIDS!!!!!! they only change the oil and filter and top off the other fluids if needed. its a waste of money in my book to pay for around $100. for it. it would be well worth it if they did do a copmplete service but they do not. imo.

I charge $37.50 for breakin-service. I change oil and filter(and always drain sump),clean prefilter,clean/replace main air filter if necesary,top off coolant,check cvs,check tires and look over. Some dealer DO overcharge for this basic service! This can be done by owners,but some dont have the experience,time and rather have dealer do it!

We set speedo wrenches to flash for first service at 25 hrs when sold. Customer can decide to bring in or do it themself. If I do it then I reset wrench for 50 hrs(even though manual says 100 hrs) customer can decide when to change! Remember only 2 quarts,cheap insurance. Owners should check air filter,cv boots for tears, a lot of mine DONT!

Do not mean to hi jack, but our 08's just past 50 hrs and about 280 miles.

I plan to call the dealer on Monday to schedule the 50 hr service, what should i expect to pay for each, just a ball park i am looking for.

Wow stendori, if my math is right, you traveled an average speed of 12.6 mph!

And I want to know where old polaris tech lives so he can do my pm's. I think I paid $37.50 for the oil and filter alone!
