David,
Many times if you purchase a service plan those mid-service oil changes ARE covered, but best to call and find out. Many Dealers will refer to these Mid-schedule Oil Changes as an Oil Change Plus service or something along those lines. The dealership covers that I my KTM if I should choose to have it done then, under my plan. If that is what Erico is covering under your plan, great!
As far as documents go though, that is definitely NOT a Triumph document, but it may well be an internal document of what Erico has chosen to cover for you in your SMP (Service Maintenance Plan). Again, awesome!

I went ahead and bought the plan just because you get a loaner bike but I am sure I was told after the first service I didn't need to be back in until 6000 miles? Guess I better call up Luke and ask if the 3000 mile oil change is included as Ive kinda overshot that one by a 1000 :O)On Mon, Jun 15, 2015 at 7:12 AM, Ross Borgida <rborgida@gmail.com> wrote:Thanks for everyone's feedback.On Mon, Jun 15, 2015 at 7:03 AM, Dan Pilcher <dpilcher@cochamber.com> wrote:Well put, Sean!

Sent from my iPhoneYeah, I don't mean to sound like I am trying to take some high and mighty stance of not doing what makes you feel good.
I was really just trying to make the point that the 3,000 mile thing is terribly outdated and perpetuated mostly by dealerships to some degree and quick lube places. GM has said that 3,000 mile oil changes are a thing of the past and based on old engine and oil technologies.
Most synthetic oils are good for at least 10k, many far behind that, which is why Europe recommends 10K oil changes and bike like the Triumph Explorer and others now have 10,000 mile service intervals rather than the 6,000 intervals.
Mobile 1 claims 15k oil change intervals, Amsoil claims 25K?? (Really??)
I wouldn't go that far myself, but I did go the recommended 9,300 miles as recommended on my KTM with confidence. I figure the manufactures have confidence in these intervals.
But absolutely everyone should do what they are most comfortable doing and what gives them peace of mind.
Being comfortable, confident and at ease while riding is what it's all about! :)
Sent from my iPhoneI recommend the 3K when the bike is new. Even though the "break in period" is supposed to be 500, I feel it needs another check sooner than later. After that the 3K is a little extreme with todays synthetic oils. But it can also depend on how you ride. If you have a lead wrist like me and prefer speeds that the bobbies don't like, better to service more often for the security that the bike won't do anything odd at high speeds. I always feel like my bikes, cars, etc perform better after a service. I'm sure most of it is mental, but makes me feel better.

So I am approaching 3,000 miles on my Bonneville and am confused about whether I need to do a servicing. Erico gave me a Triumph service document which says I need to do a 3K service. However, the Triumph owner's manual states there is a 6K service after the initial 500 mile service.
Do you guys and gals recommend a 3K service or is it not necessary? I want to keep the bike in tip top shape:).
