12K service - what should it cost?

[Kevin848]

Hey, watch this...Again, well said! Three words. Pretty good huh?

Now I'm gonna blow it...

I knew going in that the 916SPS bills would be biggie sized. Not pregnant doging at AMS at all. I put myself in that situation buying a bike that had way too much motor for the street. I didn't realize how much a pain in the butt it would be because of the excessive motor and POS slipper clutch. I would have never done that engine work on a street bike. Ever. I was lured into buying it based on the incredible low miles, the condition and my blind desire to have an early SPS. I thought the engine would be easier and cheaper to tame. I was wrong. Mega bills later it's still not where I wish it was but I am finished, done, caputt with it. It is what it is and always will be. But in my opinion AMS did an excellent job trying to neuter it back into a street bike and the stock SPS cams were hard to find and very expensive. No whining. Just deal with it. [moto]

FWIW ... you have one of the sweetest bikes I have ever seen. That goes for ***'s too. Im sorry but there is not much out there today that compares to that bike, it is an absolutely stunning specimen that I know any of us would be proud to own maint. bills be damned.

Thanks for the bike compliments.

I give Colin the same line too but I think it just does a fly by on him. The concept of not whining and having to actually deal with something is just too foreign to him. Feel like I'm talking to a fence post when I say it. Not the way I was raised and being a step parent I am hobbled in what I can say or do.

My kids don't like it either, and if they continue to whine over something stupid I just tell them they can do it somewhere else...it's their choice to whine and they get to deal with the consequences, as for the rest of us - we're gonna go on and have a good day.  Life's just a bunch of choices and consequences, good ones and not so good ones, (and some other sh*t thrown in there that you can't do anything about!) right?

I think you all already know, and yes, I am worth it.

the last service cost a hell of lot more than $1900.00, but I rather enjoy pulling her into the garage and doing the lube job myself.

hmmm......no comment.
