Suzuki main Dealer 15K service....

My jaw hit the f***ing floor at that quote
How was that broken down?. No point having a quote without a breakdown of what that covers. If its check and adjust clearances, oil/oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, throttle body balance etc etc then thats a very fair quote.

Generally 4-6 hours depending on whether any clearances need adjustment and how far out the throttle bodies are and the general condition of the bike for the fully 15k service done exactly to the book. Ive seen plenty of places quote alot less and trust me..they do alot less!.

Incedently I did a survey recently on what places local to us are charging, main dealers and independants. The two most expensive services on my list were independants one of which i know for sure doesnt have any insurance!.
