• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

600 mile service completed today

600 mile inspection

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:

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:
 
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.
