Steve,
I'm not really sure, but I don't think it will be a problem.
It's not actually 6000 miles it is 10000 klm.
I just bought an ex demo ADV from a dealer & they did the 1000 k (600 mile) service at 797 miles.
But to be sure, why not call your dealer?
Mike.

i did ask my dealer - they said i could go 900 miles over...but...i don't trust a word they say, and they wouldn't give me it in writing.......they're muppets....

i thought there was bound to be someone here who had gone over and can confirm (or poo poo) my dealers "900 miles allowance"

cheers

Might be worth getting them to do a quick oil change before you go...

I was on over 8k before my 6k service...and have had warrenty work done since.

Just be sensible...change oil if much over and check regularly.

I was told 10% over is acceptable. Bear in mind your speedo and therefore, mileage indicator is going to be out by a similar amount too, not a problem really.

Fax them through a note confirming the telephone call with a name individual at a specific time and stating what they told.

Then find another dealer to use in future

Actually the speedo / odo on the 1200 is a lot more accurate than on the older bikes. It rarely disagrees with my GPS by more than 2%.
