[ST] 12k Service...

[Dan Wetherington <dnlwthrn@xxxxxxxxx>]

So I had the dealer do the 12k service, and just got off the phone with 
them.  Valves checked out ok, needs new coolant, brake fluid, front pads 
are at 25%, back pads are fine.  The service guy tried to get me to 
replace the chain, but said the sprockets looked ok.  So everything 
sounds good...

Total, with parts and labor (including flushing and replacing coolant 
and brake fluid):

$885

gulp

What the hell cost that much?!?  I understand that shop labor rates are 
high, and the time for the service is 5 hrs.  But that doesn't even 
account for half of the bill!  I guess you can factor in the "black 
gold" and filter for another $75-80, but that still only puts you at 
$400!  I'ma hafta go have a talk with them boys and look over their 
mathematics, I think...
