Choke on a 695

[TightLines]

I knew at the time that the service had not been done and took that into account before I bought the bike.

I did contact the dealer where the bike was purchased and confirmed that the service was never taken care of.

That being said, is it sensible to do an oil change myself and skip the 600 mile service?

There are a lot of people that are capable of doing the service themselves and actually prefer to do it themselves. If you have the know how, then sure. There's then just the oil change though, ie: checking the torque on certian bolts, chain tension, etc. In the manual it has everything that's supposed to be checked all of which you can do yourself. The 7500 mile service gets more complicated though.
