+1 The first maintenance interval is more to be a check up to make sure everything is operating properly and holding together as it should. Not sure what the 250 calls for but a good dealer will walk through all the fasteners and such to make sure they haven’t walked out, check the chain/belt/drive shaft to make sure it is doing exactly what it should in the tolerances it’s supposed to. Check the oil for excessive metal in the oil from the break in etc etc. Most manu’s that I have talked with almost require it to keep the warranty valid. Not necessarily having to be done by the factory licensed mechanic but a competent one none the less with a paper trail thats genuine and valid.
