As several have said, asking the dealer what the charges are for scheduled maintenance , understanding what you might want to do your self.
I've always avoided service plans and warrantee plans as expenses I would always save money by self insuring.
I've long only used the Dealer for major services, ie valve adjustment etc and done the minor my self. Part of this is being cheap and part is the dealer is 45 miles away and any type of service consumes a day. So the way it has turned out the bike is in to the dealer 1 day a year for a major service, likely new tires or brakes at the same time.
To allow this to keep to one day i've stretched major service to be as much a 4,000 late to wait for tire wear out. The dealer has had no problem with this.
