If anyones wondering, I just rang my dealer to get the bike booked in for January, thought I'd pre-empt it. The 600 mile service is................£271 
600mile service cost...
- Thread starter TheStammeringBiker
- Start date
I'd be interested to know what they did for that?
Apparently, and I do stress "apparently" the 1300 uses more oil than previously. He said it uses 5 litres of oil which in itself bumps up the price. But I'm pretty sure it's just oil and a checkup so it does seem pretty steep sadly.
Get used to it as how things are going things will only get more expensive…The idiots print money , CO2 BS tax , no cheap hydrocarbons from Russia , billions for wars , mass migration , mass unemployment , more money printing a downward spiral…In the end we will ride chinese bicycles and be happy to save the world…
As for the service itself for the money you get 5 quarts of oil , a oilfilter and 4 shotglasses / new gasket of rear drive oil…The dealer has to live too because the internet or china wont repair your bike when its not working anymore ! You play you pay…

Ring another dealer to see what they'll charge?If anyones wondering, I just rang my dealer to get the bike booked in for January, thought I'd pre-empt it. The 600 mile service is................£271
I did, same price.
At the end of the day I ain't got a choice, so I'll pay it and shut up, I was just a little taken aback is all haha
so bargain 
I traded my S1000R Sport in back in Nov, it had a full system, and now the dealer is asking for the OEM headers if I have them (I do).
Gotta be worth a free service. Can only try. If the shoe was on the other foot I’d be getting a 1k bill.

Asked at time of ordering for a free run in service, after p/x price agreed on my 1250GSA, "Yes fine" said the man. Always worth asking, no deal on the bike, but 1st service, luggage, tracker can be negotiated.
£271 for a first service........id take that everyday! try owning a Harley. First service is circa £4-500 for probably even less oil and less service..............those boys have to pay for them tats and leather waistcoats somehow!
Spend 20 odd thousand on a toy, then go back the next month, bend over and take another dry bumming.If anyones wondering, I just rang my dealer to get the bike booked in for January, thought I'd pre-empt it. The 600 mile service is................£271
A far cry from the days when your friendly local dealer would tell you to run it in, and bring it back for them to fettle as part of the sale.
I see teapotone paid £192.73 for his first service

Did you not ask if they would chuck it in for free? I've found this is always a question there're prepared for, this will be my 4th GS/A and never been invoiced.Yeah I noticed! I’ll be sending him a text asking how he got that
That's a bit more like itI see teapotone paid £192.73 for his first service
The last time I had a 600 miles service done on a BMW I seem to remember it being around the £165 mark
I had mine done in Oct £205, Dick Lovett.
Seriously.... Their taking dry bumming to a new level... Buy the oil and filter yourself, you'll still be within your warranty and probably just under £200 better offIf anyones wondering, I just rang my dealer to get the bike booked in for January, thought I'd pre-empt it.

With a good bit of negotiating at the point of sale, first service has been included....... I suppose it depends on your dealer / customer relationship though...aways prefer face to face and no internet sales..........Seriously.... Their taking dry bumming to a new level...
