I doubt very much that the oil has degraded in 6k but bikes are seen as a leasure market and people will pay for their toys far more readily than they will necessities like cars.

Might as well have been.
Isn't it interesting that with all those different components and their odd penny unit costs, that the total comes in at a rather conveniently rounded £170 exactly!
I wonder what those 'sundries' are if not to simply round up the bill...

Stop whining you lot!
If you can't budget for the service don't buy the bike.
I'm having mine done this Friday and been quoted £289 so count yourselves lucky.

I was under the impression that the first (600ml) service was always free, mine was, as it's only a nut tightening exercise.
Nah, second service is a nut tightening excercise... have you seen their prices...haha
If they called servicing... "Farkles" and we got a gold star pinned to our chest upon leaving, we would be fine about the cost.
As it is, we hand over our bike, they give it back EXACTLY THE SAME.... that the eye can see anyways, and charge us the cost of 10 days of fuel and fun, our only reward is a free coffee?
Well I'm having 2 coffees and going to take a loan bike for the day, even though I live a mile away from them, just to get my monies worth.
I accept that loan bikes and washes crank up the price but they won't give you the option to waive the these 'free extras' for a cheaper service. Funny old thing eh.

You are right about handing it back the same as you can see. Being the suspicious sort I am, and being in the trade for years, anything that needs replacing is marked with a scratch or UV pen, I just like to know it gets done. I have to say, I have challenged a car dealer once, the new air filter wasn't put in but it was a genuine mistake, they said.
Then complain to the fecking dealership. It really is fecking simple, you chimp.
Apply a bit of the balls up front F U Jack, your site name implies.
Just been quoted £160 for mine being done on the 10th Sa La Vi
First service used to be much more involved on airheads and even the early oilheads (change all fluids, torque heads, set valve clearance, balance carburetors or TB's, etc. but thankfully all's been eliminated other than changing the engine oil and filter so simply do it yourself. If you wish it to be "on record" simply buy the oil and filter from a dealer.
