In case my point is being misunderstood I should be clear that I'm NOT advocating skipping the first service.
I am though advocating not to worry too much about whether you perform it promptly at the recommended interval or if it's done a little earlier or later.
And perhaps I'm also advocating not to pay too much for it, especially if you go to a dealer whom is questionable about their knowledge of the brand or attention to detail. But then again, if that's the case, then I would likely advocate for you to do it yourself or find someone who you CAN trust.
Though I DO think it's a BS and largely un-necessary service (if the bike was built and prepped properly) I have found items on a first service that were missed at both build and prep.
