    Lots of discussion around first service. Does it need to be performed by dealer? Don’t know if I trust any local dealers enough…

    Also is there a service manual for the 2024 Bonneville?

    You don't need to have your bike serviced at a Triumph dealership, you can have it done by any independent workshop, make sure you keep a copy of the receipt and have the service book stamped, in case you ever require any warranty work done via Triumph.

    If you are thinking of DIY servicing then that will affect your warranty. The first service is basically an oil & filter change and usually discounted to parts cost only or even free if you're lucky. My choice would be have the first dealer service than take the DIY route.
    I doubt you'll find a manual specifically for any 2024 model. I have a Haynes which is a few years old now but the Classic water cooled twins haven't changed that much IMO.

    If you would like a copy of the Triumph workshop manual PM and I can send it to you on a PDF.

    That’s good to know if you are in CA (or possibly all of the USA), but I don't believe self servicing is allowed here. I’m quite happy to be corrected if that is no longer the case in the UK.

    This is from a current Triumph owner's manual regarding servicing and maintenance....

    "To ensure a long, safe, and trouble-free life for your motorcycle, maintenance should only be carried out by a competent person with the specialist knowledge and technical understanding of motorcycles, such as an authorised Triumph dealer."

    This effectively allows non franchised dealer servicing but not DIY. I doubt Triumph, or any manufacturer would accept xx years of owning/riding bikes and DIY servicing as meeting the specified criteria. You'd probably have to fight than one in court which could end up more expensive than just buying another bike. JMO

    @Zwniana I would say get that first service done at the dealers. All you pay for is oil and filter perhaps any consumables used. I used to do my own bikes after the first and agreed with my dealer that it was my preference to do it that way. They always agreed as long as i used oem filter which i always purchased from them then when the bike went in for service they checked it over and stamped my book. It always looks better with a stamped service record. But that's my opinion.
