7.5K Service on a 696, Price?

[zLoki]

I'm at 6.5k on my 696, got a dealer quote for the 7.5k service, $750.00.  Anyone else got quotes?

I'm interested in what others might say since I'm getting close too.  $750 sounds not so bad though.

I'm still @  5k away from that service, but I will check next time I'm at the dealers.

This seems high for should essentially be a valve check (adjustment as necessary) and an oil change ~

I am not too good with these technical things on this bike, but mine had some sort of chain or valve or something like that adjusted already at the first maintenance Did you just get an oil change and thats it?

$450 for me.

When I purchased my 696, I also bought a service plan. It was $900 for the first 3 services. I know 600 miles is the first service, but I don't remember when the next 2 are required.

The dealership made it sound like this was an amazing deal. But a few weeks later, I wondered if maybe I had gotten ripped off. In actuality, I have no idea how much the first 3 services will cost me. Maybe I'm only saving a couple bucks.

And what if I don't make it past the first service? What if I want to move out of state? Or what if I trash the bike?

Any thoughts?

I bought the plan too and since I'm moving out of state, I'm told that I'm screwed.

The 2nd service would be 7.5K, 3rd at 15K.  Usually you save some.  I feel certain you'd be paying more than $300 for each service.  The 15K involves changing belts too, so you're looking at that one being more expensive than the other two ~

If you're in the bay area check out Nichols manufacturing in milpitas, they did the 12K on my s2r monster and I was out the door for $450 including, valve check, belt replacement, oil change, and they fixed a few other small things.  Bike runs great would highly recommend.

i've been given an estimate by my dealer for $350 out the door with all the above shit...
i'm assuming somewhere between $350 and $500 is around average

[zLoki]

Wow, so it seems $750 is a bit high.  I'll have to shop around, luckily there are five dealers within reasonable driving distance.

It seems really high for a service alone.  Was it including tires or something? 

[sfarchie]

I was told it would be around $500 in San Francisco, CA

zLoki, give me a call if you like.
