14500 service
 
My bike is coming up to the 14500 service and I rang George White in Slough to ask how much it cost.

Around £300....:(.....:smt085

Is this well over the top or does all the work needed on the 14500 justify the cost.

I'm afraid so - there appears to be a metric a$$load of work on that one. The main thing done on it is the valve clearances (check and adjust if required), which appears to bump the time required up to a full day... I've just booked mine, and they need me to drop the bike off the night before for a 5pm pickup.

Not the reply I was looking for but, I have to admit, it was the reply I was expecting.
I have to admit though that I feel confident letting George White do my work as I have used them in the past and have been more than satisfied with the service.
Looks like I have to put a few quid away ready for the service then.....

Get them to do the valve clearances/throttle valve synch...and do the rest yourself. Dont gte a stamp in the book for it but will make it cheaper no doubt.

I've been quoted circa ?200 for valves checking/adjusting, and nothing more done to the bike.

A lot of dealerships do that, quote high then charge less, it's an easy way to make happy customers. ;)
