Hi, I am due for my 3 year service and first MOT soon. Mileage is less than 4,000. Only used the bike twice this year. Can anyone give me an idea of the service costs? I am in the south east.
Thanks.
 
Just had mine done at bahnstormer - oil / filter and rear drive oil change. £190

Was told that the valve clearances don't need doing until 12K+ miles - irrespective of age.
 
As above, valves don't need doing until 12k irrespective of age (as my dealer told me). My dealer (East Midlands) charged about 250 for the oil changes and mot at Y3.
 
Thanks for this. That's about what I expected. I just got a quote from a mobile BMW guy of £445 which seemed ridiculous.
 
That would be pricey, though he may be factoring in the (unnecessary) value check.
 
My R1250GS service during the summer (oil change and filter) including MOT was £195.
 
My 1250 Rallye goes in to Marshalls Grimsby next week been quoted £160

Two years old 8500 miles

Think that price included VAT but not 100%
 
Just had the 3 year 18000 mile oil + filter MOT and break fluid done for £200.
 
Would highly recommend the BMW 5 yr/30K service inclusive contract. I paid £1199 in May 21, which is honoured overseas as well. Just had the GSA serviced in Vienna, no charge and they gave her a clean and polish as part of the service......;-)
 
When I told the guy he seemed expensive, he explained that his customers didn't mind paying a premium for having the work done at their home. I mistakingly thought he would be cheaper.
Thanks for the responses, at least I know what I should be paying.

So not having rent, rates, utilities to pay for is now an excuse to charge more.

Who knew.
 
12000 service at 12285miles
Oil / filter
Rear bevel oil change
Valve clearance check
spark plugs
Air filter
Full brake fluid change as I forgot to get it done at 12 months.
At 6K service it was only 7 months old
Total was £366.90
Pleased with that

Shopped around the Motarrad dealers and there was big variance between the 6 or 7 I could have gone to without it being an overnight trip

PS made about ten quid back on coffee & biscuits
