Thanks for the information
I'm still hearing conflicting info on the 600 mile service. Is there BMW documentation on whether the heads needs to be torqued?
In post #19 there are 3 different sources of info on the camheads and none of them mention anything about heads needing to be torqued.
Also, you can check this site and there is no such thing as head bolts needing attention for the camheads: http://www.ascycles.com/bmw_motorcycle_service_and_maintenance_schedules.aspx
I'm not sure you'll get anything more official than these sources.
My apology
Why did BMW choose to go from a useful owners manual like this to where we are now? I can understand skimping on the tool kit because there is money savings. But furnishing a "owner's manual" that omits maintenance schedules and basic service procedures is pretty sad.
Because they put a "service" light on the bike for you. They want you to just bring it to them for "service" so they can take care of it.
I still need to get the "GS911" so I can mess with the electronics when my "service" light trips.

I got 6K miles done for '10 1200GS a few months ago by my local dealer, it was around $300 and included all fluids change including brake, and valves checked. Ah, and they also have free pick up and drop off.
