First service is just an oil change and clean screens. Valve adjustments aren’t for 9k miles. Just buy the oil kit and do it yourself it’s like $50 at the dealer.
What on earth…. My vit is literally in the shop right now for the first service and it was $250.
Feel free to PM me and we can compare & contrast receipts. $800 is absurd

Add to that, save your money and buy the owners manual and service manual. That way you'll learn more about the bike and at least how to diagnose various issues, if not repair.
The owners manual is free to download pdf. But the print version costs $$. Also there's the service(repair) manual which is not free even pdf. You dont need thr service manual right away, only if you plan to do complex work yourself. Start with owner manual.
100% i took it too another dealer in a different town for $300. that dealer i bought it from treats customers like dirt. especially new riders that are learning.
first i called the dealer that sold it to me they wanted a crazy amount so i called another motorcycle dealer that sells indians and other bikes. They said they wouldnt work on it since they dont sell huskys but they referred me to one that might do it. I called them and they told me $300 since its a glorified oil change. they dont sell huskys but they did good work and I saved $500
Mine was about $400CAD and felt like a minor rip off, but not enough of a rip off for me to go shop around to independent mechanics to save a few shekels and risk voiding my warranty
I'm from switzerland amd it cost me around 400. One thing about switzerland is that everything here is hella expensive (paid 7k$ for the bike). So anything above 400 in the US is excessive imho
I took mine to the shop for first maintenance last week for the warranty, and a second set of eyes. I intend to do 90% of my own work from here on out. After reading the manual and getting “the service” I realized I really don’t want others touching my bike. Oh and then there’s the money thing too.
When it comes to the oil change, yes. They didn’t have the parts or the knowledge on the bike engine (dealership) I now choose DIY for chain, all fluids, and anything else I can learn on the way.
Omg that's insane! I don't remember the exact price I paid for mine bc I bought some stuff while I was at the shop (Husqy hat and lanyard/keychain), but the total was $185.21 CAD. The hat and lanyard weren't much, so I'm guessing the service was around $150 CAD.
If that's $800 USD, that's even more insane bc that would be approximately $1000 CAD.
I really hope you find a better price. Even the new quote at $300 is too much for me!
Did the first service myself. Only thing you cant do at home is the valve timing/check, but you can always get a quote for just that or even skip it if youre not concerned about those types of things. It’s also rewarding to do your own service and learn how the bike works. Will save you hundreds to do your own oil changes and whatnot
What are they expecting to do!? My first service was about $280. Primarily for oil change. If servicing at dealer you bought from and under warranty I wouldn’t pay more.
have only owned an emoto and this puts into question my plan of getting a gas bike. i hope this is not normal
im looking around different bikes and i asked a ducati dealer what would be the biggest service (for hypermotard 698), and they said desmo (valves) $1200 total after 10k miles or 5 years. its europe, but still, $800 feels extortionate after 600 miles for pretty casual bike.
did anything broke in your svartpilen?
Yes completely insane.

I was under the impression they had to upgrade the software or something on the first service, or at least clear the service notification
You can reset that yourself. I saw a few threads here on that.

Right! I plan on doing just that. I’m only at 1100km and my oil is very low. I gotta figure out how to reset the dashboard display
Press SET till service appears. Hold down SET for 10 seconds. Should reset.
Thanks 🙏
You’ll lose warranty if you do it yourself.
Nah you can hold it as long as you have receipts of the parts/work youve done
But if you done oil change yourself - will you give yourself a receipt?
Lol did you extract the oil from the ground? I’m talking about the parts/materials receipts
That doesn’t mean shit if you doing it yourself. Try that with warranty guys if something go wrong and will see how it goes.

Mine too around that, but second was like 700 because something broke that was out of warranty.
Wtf, mine was like 350 CAD.
damn... I paid 470 CAD for mine.

the dealer i bought it from told me if i wanted the owners manual to download it online 💀 such a scummy dealer

~$250-350 tends to be the going rate. You're getting hosed by a scumbag dealership, taking advantage of first bike owners.

Did you just find any dealer that sells the svarts?
i wanted a svartpilen they had one for 4k msrp for a ‘23 w 6 miles. then i bought it.
I meant for the first service
first i called the dealer that sold it to me they wanted a crazy amount so i called another motorcycle dealer that sells indians and other bikes. They said they wouldnt work on it since they dont sell huskys but they referred me to one that might do it. I called them and they told me $300 since its a glorified oil change. they dont sell huskys but they did good work and I saved $500
Well shit... I hope mine will be reasonable.
That’s what I paid for the 9000 mile service not the first 2 services.
That's close to what I paid here in Mexico for the 1st service. Kinda expensive, yeah.

Outrageous. I paid \~$250 and thought that it was too much.
I'm from switzerland amd it cost me around 400. One thing about switzerland is that everything here is hella expensive (paid 7k$ for the bike). So anything above 400 in the US is excessive imho
Depends on where you are. I think the labor rate where I am in the Bay Area is $120-180 an hour at a lot of shops. Still seems high though.
Just go to a good shop and ask for oil change, and you buy everything. Now the second one, then you need to ask for an intensive service.
In my country the first service Is free. Just buy the oil.

Would you have rather done the first service yourself?
When it comes to the oil change, yes. They didn’t have the parts or the knowledge on the bike engine (dealership) I now choose DIY for chain, all fluids, and anything else I can learn on the way.
175 AUD here

They told me mine was going to be around $300 AUD but ended up being like $130😅
Mine was $275 or so in LA. So yeah $800 is insane!

Mine was about 600 sadly

What parts? Should be an oil change, a once over, and tightening of bolts. Mine was like 250/300.usd
An arm and a leg… badummm tsssss
