Not 100% sure but it should be around £120-£130 unless you've negotiatiated something less when you ordered the bike. And £120 for almost doing anything is already a lot of money IMHO!

First service

I know its not the same machine but I`ve just had the first 600 mile service on my K1300GT done by Clarks Dundee to their usual high standards
( collected and dropped off by van, a round trip of 122 miles ! for free ) cost £63. My brother has just been quoted £90 odd for the first service on his new R1200 R at Southport superbikes if that helps.

K1300s are much cheaper to service anyway as they are based on a more modern design.

Paid about £100 for the first service on my GS a few weeks ago

Excellent service again from them

Always, always agree the price of the first running in service when buying the bike - in most cases you will be able to agree a better deal

Free of labour, you just pay for the oils and filter, that's the Bahnstormer standard deal on all bikes we supply.

Just had my 600mile service done at Southport Superbikes on my new GSA and it was £90 inclusive. They have a sign up at the service desk stating this price for all first services, so at least you know where you stand.
