£45?
Even that's a rip off for a first service!!
As mentionned by some others, I got the first service for free (t'was about 2 weeks after I bought the bike). Labour free, all parts free, the dealer knew I'd be back in about 6 weeks to hand over some cash for the next service. Some dealers do charge for parts, but give labour free. £45 is pushing a rip off for oil & filter.
M&P service kit will give you oil/filter/spark plugs for £30 ish. The only other thing on the service is bolt checks.
Name & shame the dealer. F#!?ing £500.
I'm getting the valves checked for the second time (30k service) in a couple of weeks, and that's costing me approx £150!! That's a good 4 hour job (just checking the valves) which involves taking bits off the engine.
