The air filter is changed every 2 years IIRC
How many miles has it done ?

As its a pre owned bike it would be sold with whatever tyres/handbooks it came to them with so I dont think theres an issue there.
You dont say whether they have serviced it or the previos owner serviced it/had it serviced. If they have been told its recently been serviced and have told you that then again I would say no issue.
However if they have claimed to have serviced it when obviously they havent then you do have a claim. Its all in the wording.

I agree but the bike handled very badly with oversize tyres on, i changed them to std Yamaha sizes and its great to ride and feels safe now, as for service the told me the had done a PDI safe check and a service, plus there stamp is in the book at 4k miles, but then told me they had only changed the oil, i said i dont think much of thr pdi check as no one noticed the very bad handling and wrong tyres? :cry[1]:

Its been posted on here several times about wrong tyre sizes affecting handling so I agree with what youre saying there, stock size is that for a reason.
I'm not aware of dealers riding a bike as part of a pdi check, (mine had 000000 miles on it when I collected it) I think its purely a visual check that everything is where it should be and not loose or falling off.
I'm not sure what should be cleaned/ replaced at 4000mile service, have a search on here, perhaps it should only have the oil changed??
I think after its running in oil change service at 600miles its only due full service at 6000miles. (anyone confirm please?)
Does seem a little misleading though to say its been serviced, they should have stated that the oil had been changed.

I don't understand, why you guys are discussing the service issue. It is totaly unimportant when a part is due to service.
If the dealer response is true, now that is an issue. All other points concerning the tyres, the air filter and so on, can be easily serviced by the dealer and no one would even post this in the forum.
It's all about the dealer response.
