For my SV650s (L0) - is £180 reasonable?! Been quoted this by Steve Jordan's, and this is apparently based on about 2 hours work...

I would say so, SV650racer on here is Sarah (from Steve Jordans i believe) did you mention to them you are an org member?

I work for a Honda dealer and thats about what we charge for a 4k service, based on oil and filter change, stripping and cleaning brakes etc, im not sure how much the Suzuki 4k service differs though

I paid £145 for my second service last summer in Southampton. The local Suzi dealer to me wanted £280+. Prices seem to vary widely, but £180 sounds ok to me.

Ok thanks - I may get on the phone to Sarah (who's lovely and patient and always answers my inane questions when I ring up!) and see if we get .org discounts!

Hi, I paid £117 a few months back at my local Suzuki dealer for a 4k service on a K6. Judging by my brakes I don't think they touched them though!

As if by magic!:D


2 hours labour is about right for a 4k service. We charge .org members £42.30 inc VAT per hour.
It's most likely that you'll only need an oil & filter on the parts front. So reckon on a shade over £30 here.


Cheers.

If your bike is going to use £60 in juice getting here It's in desperate need of looking at:D
Seriously though, reckon on about 30 minutes from Wimbledon via the A3.

Sunbury can't be that far from you!


Not as far as you come dear boy!:D


Cheers.

Spanner Man - do you think the plugs will need replacing as well? I've been quoted elsewhere for 2 hours labour, oil, filter and 4 plugs...

I think that is the 7.5k service on the twin sparks
Its that on the single sparks

The 650S lo - I believe has only two plugs, I have a 2010 lo and although I thought it had 4 I can only find two??

could you explain to me why you would need to strip and clean the brakes on a 4k service!
