Matt,

My 790 started leaking at around 2K or so. Searching this site made me realize many folks have this issue.

If you have the means, get a good torque wrench and download the torque specs from this site. Then check the torque on everything.

When I purchased my 06 Bonneville, my dealer told me to bring my bike in for the first service at which point they would change the oil and check and 'tighten' everything up as many of the fasteners come loose with time. I chose to do it myself for two reasons: (1.) I don't like to be away from my bike for too long and (2.) I just enjoy doing it myself.

:razz:

Anyway, if you question the quality of work your dealer is doing, dig in and do it yourself. There are a lot of great people here to help with just about any project you choose to take on.
