Hey, 2008 Kodiak 450 and the first service is coming up (currently at 200kms). What needs to get done?

Don't really want to pay $300.00 for some yahoos at the dealer to pump up my tires. The 200 kms were mostly in heavy snow and the bike just got a taste of mud this weekend and some water (nothing got in the air filters), not sure if that makes a difference. ok let me know thanks.

200km usually amouts to 20 hrs or so. Drain the engine oil and replace the oil filter. Clean air filter if required. General visual inspection. Check suspension and steering fasteners and cotter pins. One hour max for the labour.

Do not let them do a valve set until you have 50 hrs, then it never needs to be done again unless you have valve work done somewhere north of 1500 hrs. If they do a valve set now, you'll need another minor tweak at 50-75 hrs.
