First Dealer service

Just wondering what a $160 (Can) oil change is like ? My dealer called me up yesterday asking when I am able to bring my Thrux in for my first dealer service.I am at that magical 800km point.
What is included in this 1st service , should I go to a full synthetic oil at this point ,and is there anything I should ask my dealer to have a look at ?

Mine's coming up too but I think I will just do it myself. Dealer says the oil the chain, check bolts etc. I don't think its worth $160 bucks, I can do it myself for much less.

500 mile service

It was the only "routine service" for which I took it to the dealer, to establish some credibility and good will, so if I had warranty issues I'd be taken seriously.

Next routine service will be the valve check/adjust in about a year, it'll probably go to a mechanic for that.
