:roll: But a K&N one for £41.60 (HG) then you've got one for life so to speak...

BTW... £30 my ar5e :!: :roll: :toss:

Just had mine serviced on Saturday at Magnum Motorcycles in Gillingham.

Mainly went there cos they're in the Suzuki book as a service place and it's a 10 minute walk away.

Came to £115 - 90 for the labour and 25 for oil, spark plugs and oil filter. Dropped her off at 930 and picked her up at 2pm same day.

I'm pleased that they changed the plugs and filter, for the little bit extra... and I was expecting a higher charge even without those done.

Have done almost 250 miles since Saturday afternoon and everything feels tip-top... :D Will definitely be going back there for future servicing!

not seen this post before, I know it's a bit late but... i got my 4k service at Premier in West Wickham last week. They charged me £145 oil change, filter change, all the usual checks and they gave front and rear brakes a good going over as they were binding. not sure why they quoted £200 for you before?

£10 for oli? :roll: remind me not to buy ur bike :lol: sori mate, but personnely i buy the gd oli, £27 for 4 litres which will do an oli change. and 10 min? i would say more like 30min.

*im gna get slaped for this, sori, but i was being honest*

its all down to personal choice, but i believe you are actually paying for the name, rather than quality :)

In Bike magazine they had this "Britains highest mileage rider" thing - a guy who'd done a few million miles. He'd had engines last for over 400,000 miles and although he'd changed the oil to schedule, he'd used car oil cos it was cheaper, and said he'd never found any slippage problems.
If you were doing massive mileage you'd be less concerned about using top quality stuff to reduce your costs, etc. This guy was changing the oil every week to fit the service schedule. If it's used less often somehow we feel we need to look after it a little more than if it's used all the time, which is kinda odd. I do about 400 miles a week and so long as it's half-decent bike oil, that's good enough for me!

Mine's in for its 4K service on thursday - I'm getting it done at West London Suzuki and I've been quoted £90. I asked about what else is done apart from the oil change and was told the checks take up 2 hours labour.

If they do spend 2 hours tightening and adjusting then £90 is fair. As for £200 that is obscene, pants down quote.

about 2 more weeks and mine will be due its 32K mile service :D

But of course, they don't.

I know of course they don't spend 2 hours with it however I don't mind paying £90 for the stamp; I wouldn't pay £200 for the stamp!
