New sv first service...HOW MUCH?? - Page 4 - SV650.org

i'd bet my bellend that the dealer was talking about miles rather than money, as soulkiss has suggested. I think we are all getting excited over a simple mis-understanding.

As far as I'm concerned, the first service should be included as the purchase of the bike - you pay for materials: oil and filter.

This has to be the mileage, otherwise you NEED to name this dealer.
It's not like their prices are steep, it's obscene and taking advantage. I'd even go as far to inform any manufacturers like Suzuki about their practices, with intent to stop their supply of new bikes

I was lent a bike for the day while mine was being serviced free (both for my CG125 and the SV650).
My first service was parts only (oil & filter) but the oil for the bike is fluffing expensive.

At cost, about 10 or 15 quid, and about 4 for the filter.
