600 mile service completed today

[westgl]

Took the Spydo in for the 600 mile service.

The Spyder never ran this good. I hope that this is the way it is going to continue to run, it just keeps getting better & better.

More power after the 600 mile service, maybe it's just the motor starting to loosen up a little. :2thumbs:

The more miles you get on it the better it runs. I have almost 2000 miles on mine and it keeps getting better and the gas milage is getting better also.:ohyea:

You hit a home run with that dealer, Treat him good.
Dealers like that are hard to find. :2thumbs:

[scudrunner]

Hmm, I had to sign a piece of paper telling me that the 600 mile REQUIRED inspection was NOT free and it would cost $300! They are going to install the CB/ICS at the same time, so I'll get double billed for removing the plastic.
Don't you just love fixed time billing? Once had a shop tell me that they would have to charge me an extra $80 labor to replace the belt when they did a water pump replacement because the shop charge for replacement said "remove and reinstall" the belt, not "remove and replace". I asked if I could bring in a new belt and when they took the old one off, I just slip a new one in it's place before they "reinstall" it.

You're so right! We're in Grants Pass and probably bought ours from the same place (WaterWorld in Medford). Yes, Ted and the folks there are the best.
:clap::clap::clap:
We had our 600 mile done a couple weeks ago and will be taking it back in tomorrow for a replacement part that just arrived.

[mdminc]

I just paid $541 for my first service. Things are expensive here in NJ.

[Vordak]

Service done today.

$225.00 here in Ontario.

Oil & Filter
SE5 Filter
Belt adjustment
Suspension lube and adjust
Code check
Spark Plug check
Tires, lug nuts check
Parking brake check and adjust

Runs good. More power? Smoother? Seems like it.

I have a slight fuel odour since the service, dunno if related, but fuel cap was loose and I spilled while fueling.

I've had it stall twice today while downshifting from 2nd to 1st. Never done it before. Funny that I discussed the issue with my dealer while they were working on it, it hadn't done it yet, but the dealer knows about it.

If it acts up more, clutch will be replaced.

Cheers!

V.

(750 kms of riding today, yay!)

Glad to hear it, we're getting close to our 600 mile for the RS;
Ted & the guys at Water World are 1st rate in our book.

My first service was similar. They check a whole bunch of things. Also, the 3000 mile service is almost $400 if you go by the book and have everything checked and tightened each and every 3000 miles. I'm at about 4,700 miles now (I hope to make my 5K pin this week and I don't even have my BRP pack yet). I bought the RT on Feb 27. I love my dealer, but even if I do the work myself and just get the oil from him it's still $70.

That Shop Rate is around $100/Hr. That seems a little steep to me.

[MouthPiece]

600 mile service (which is the operative word) was $296.44. Labor was $212.50, parts $64.94 and tax $19.43. Cost a lot, but it was more than JUST changing oil.

I'm not a gear head. Don't want to be one. I'm very happy and satisfied with my dealer and my spyder.

I hope you got a kiss and a tank of gas to go along with that:yikes:

Quote from my dealer in Ft Worth Texas for the 600 mile inspection is $280-$330 and they would need the bike for two days.
This seems high compared to other dealers throughout the country.
For an hour and a half of labor, why do they need the bike two days?

2-days for Service? :yikes: First I heard of. :dontknow:

Why the prices are so different in each state for Service, is still a mystery to me. :dontknow:

Had mine in for a 600 mile Service on June 5th;
600-mile Service cost me only $119.13
(had the same thing done like everyone else)
Had a few things installed on the same day $131.10
my total then came to $258.25 :2thumbs:

That sounds alot more reasonable. Think I'll call around...

I could be absolutely wrong on my guess.... The Service dept is probably "Squeezing" you in-between other clients jobs, combined with labor time management. Maybe short handed that particular week and... Under promise then over deliver? :dontknow:

[gjco]

I just did my own oil change last week and it cost me $83 for 5 quarts of oil, 2 crush washers, 1 oil filter and 1 oil filter gasket. and that was after a 10% discount. I think that was a little high but whats a person to do.

Now this I really like since I take my Spyder to the same dealership :2thumbs:

[Spydeb]

Just made my appointment for 600 mile service in Granbury. They quoted a couple of hours and around $150. This is much more reasonable and in line with the rest of the country. I will let you know my experience but so far the phone conversation was real positive and they sound professional and experienced.Thank you for the recommendation.
