I'm at 500 miles now so I called my dealer and asked - $180 for the service
- oil change
- rear diff change
- hookup to the computer and look for any issues
- check everything over.
- The book calls for 1.2 hrs of shop time if I heard him correctly.
Pretty sure it's a money maker for them - basically another way for them to tack on another $100 for the 5 year Y.E.S. I purchased. Otherwise I'd do the fluid change myself and pocket the c-note and change.
It is not nessecary for you to have the dealership do the 600 mile check. I would 100% recommend the fluid change both rear diff and the engine/filter. Use Yamaha brand/recommended fluids and keep your receipts. It'll help if you need to make a warranty claim.

The dealer wants $180 for the 600 mile service. If I did it myself and used all Yamaha brand filters and fluid I figure it'd cost me near $80 -
so I'm spending $100 to have the dealer change the oil/filter/diff oil and run a computer check.
There are two levels of the YES program. The 5 yr warranty cost me $600 - did not include any regular services. $1000 program included some of the services. I bought the $600 contract figuring I'll do most of the servicing myself.
I will have the dealer do the initial 600 mile service to make any potential future warranty claim a bit easier - though I hope I will never have to actually make a warranty claim.
