What does a 6000 mile service consist of for a 2005 s4r?
What should one expect to pay out?
Is it something a dealer should do, or something you can have done while drinking Scott's beer and chillin in the hot tub?

I'm totally down with watching you guys wrench on my bike while I sit in the hot tub and sip on alcoholic beverage!  ;D

on mine i do all but tires and valves. the valve check at 7500 miles for mine was $400. i would ask cory, will or swanny i believe they all have the s4r.

If it is still under warranty take it to the dealer, but once its out of warranty:  RANDY!!

I haven't had mine done yet but I know some of the easy stuff like oil change, fuel filter, check ALL the bolt torques, chain tension.

The thing that usually scare people is the valve adjustment, and cam belt change. It is recommended you change your cam belts every 2yrs or 12k miles. I doubt they have been changed on your bike so I would recommend getting that done. You can save a couple hundred bucks though by doing the easy stuff.

When I took the S4RS in for the 600 mile I just told them to do everything but the oil change.

Grrrlllll, you are welcome any time ;D

Belts plus valve check is about $500 at 12k. You should change the oil and filter, check the air filter, check the fuel filter, flush the brake and clutch fluid, check the coolant, check the brake pads, check your sprockets, and... that's what I did before the 12k service... well, except for maybe the fuel filter which was the cause of my overheating. :(

I would state specifically that you want them to call you if they find anything unusual so that you can decide to do it yourself. They usually call to tell you if there is something extra to be found. There are cheaper ways (Randy) of getting any of the other stuff done.

PS Does someone have the S4Rs tech manual, preferably as a PDF? ;)

Thanks for the info, very helpful  [thumbsup]
