How much for a 1st service

[Ragnar]

Apologies for the 'noob' question, but I'm coming to the end of my running in period (on a 1200 GSA). Been quoted £85 from the dealership for the 1st service. Does that sound about right?

TIA,
David.

 

[Northants Rob]

Sounds about right to me - I paid £99 for mine a couple of months ago.

I paid about £110 at the dealer I went to.....think I've got the highest charge so far

 

[solidback]

£110 is about what I was charged, same dealer perhaps.

 

[Ragnar]

Excellent, sounds like it's a good price then. Thanks.

David.

MCE in Dalkeith

I was quoted £50 + oils and parts. Great I thought...total bill £170.02.

Engine oil 29.11
Oil Filter 7.45
Sealing ring 0.25
Gaskets 5.70 and 24.00
Gearbox oil 28.19 add on the VAT and you have been stuffed/shafted

You must have had it done over here in Belfast, as mate with brand new 1200GS, £11,000 3/4 weeks old, first service £170.00, disgraceful, then thats why customers are rushing back to them, NOT!!!!!!!

I paid about the same as Ragnar, only in.. euros.

 

[chalkie]

Mine was £51.68 I think you only pay for the oil. The dealer pays the rest. Well that's what mine did anyway.

I don't feel so bad about my bill now.....this is crap though

The gearbox only takes 1 ltr of oil which costs around £6.

Bought my bike from MCE, quoted me 240 for the service back in May. Had it done elsewhere, 170ish. Pity there sems to be no consistency with first service prices.

 

[Ragnar]

Just to finalise this thread - I ended up paying £99.88, which seems a pretty average price for the 1st service.

Cheers,
David.

Looks like there,s about £28 worth of Final Drive Oil missing from your bill there Dave. Either they didn,t change it or forgot to charge you for it !!.

They definitely changed it - i watched them (Wheel off, FD swiveled 90 degrees off the drive shaft). Have to say, I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it.

I won't say anything if you don't!!
