It varies a lot from dealer to dealer. Some have paid in the $300 range and some 1/2 that. personally i think you might wanna consider the do it yourself route, or at least see what they charge. You can change the oil with the good stuff for around $35-40, and aside from that all the do is check fluid levels and check bolts for tightness and that kind of stuff. IMO it's a huge rip-off unless your dealer happens to be one of the real low ball ones. i would do it unless it were $100 tops. but i think you can be pretty sure it'll be a lot more. Look at the maintenance schedule and you'll see they don't do anything more than i said. And after 500 miles the bike isn't going to change any so the checks are really close to if not un-necassary IMO. Personally i just changed the oil myself and if i ever do take it in it'll be for the valve check service at i think 12k miles.
