First service at 1,000 km

The first service matters more than any visit after it: it drains the oil that carried the metal particles of engine break-in. Booked at a dealer it runs about €145, and skipping or stretching it is the cheapest way to buy an expensive problem. Here is what the workshop does:

  • Engine oil and filter change
  • Chain tension and lubrication
  • Brake, throttle and clutch operation check
  • Fastener torque check and fluid levels

What RS 457 owners actually watch

  • The dealer network is young; book services ahead in season and keep records meticulous for warranty.
  • Track-day owners should treat brake fluid as an annual item.
  • The aluminium frame carries the engine as stressed member; crash protection is cheap insurance for the whole structure.
