Re: service costs.. WHAT !!!!!

[Erik Miner <axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

$800.00 for a service!!!!! holy s__t  what did they do, gold plate 
the bike?????  Please let us know what they could have done to 
possibly justify that kind of money, hell even the 12K service on my 
BMW K1200RS ( Break My Wallet) wasn't that bad.. and $200.00 for 6k 
services??  I spent $40.00 for the 6k service.. oil filter $8.00 , 
$21.00  4liter jug of Motul 5100.. I adjusted the chain (didn't need 
much) lubed the stands, lubed the cables, checked all the fasteners, 
pulled the calipers cleaned the pistons and pads and checked their 
wear ( 75% on the fronts 65% on the rears) checked the torque of the 
wheels and various other bits, checked the battery for charging, 
checked coolant, and asked the dealer to read out any faults in the 
computer ( none).. he charged me $10.00 and I bought the tech a cup 
of coffee.. Now in all fairness I will need brake pads soon ( 2-3 K 
miles) so that's about $125.00  I did just replace the rear tire at 
about 9200 miles $122.00 plus $28.00 mount and balance. I'll prolly 
bleed/flush the brakes soon $20.00 for the good Motul  Dot-4,  chain/ 
sprockets are still fine.. I'll let the dealer do the fuel filter,air 
filter, spark plugs and a valve adjustment at 12k but I can't imagine 
paying much more than $200.00 labor and maybe $75.00, for parts. 
$800.00 ??????

Erik

PS: If anyone thinks I skimp on service (or anything related to my 
scoot) BELIEVE me I don't :-)
