• 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.

Just got back from 600 mile svc and the cost was 149.99.
How does that compare with other dealers.
freemont Motorsports charges the same hourly charge as for any other motorcycle they work on.
$64.40 an hr..

$64.40??

Holy smokes, that's a rollback to the mid 90s around here. :yikes:
$100 and up for work in the Atlanta area and the watercraft are even higher :cus: . The Spyder 3 year maintenance agreement probably is in the middle somewhere, but that's a heck of a price. Enjoy it while it's in effect.

That is a great hourly shop rate. The shop rate at the dealership, in Arizona, that I bought my 2012 RT-S is $110 per hour.nojoke
 
More than that in PA

Dealer rate: $120/hr

Just got the 600 mile service yesterday - $295.00. They charged 12.99 for each quart of oil, and listed 5 quarts on the invoice. When I questioned how the put in 5 qts of oil, they said they had to charge for the full qt for the 0.1 extra called for in the manual. No problem, says I; please give me the rest of the quart that I paid for. Needless to say, they could not produce such a thing, so they ended up giving me a quart of oil and an apology. Ya, gotta watch 'em.

In all fairness, this is the first "problem" that I have encountered there. Until now, they have really been pretty good about customer service and doing the right thing.

A charge of a full qt. for the extra .1 qt. when they get it out of a DRUM???? Glad you caught them at their "profit" game.
 
Prepaid Maintenance

When I purchases my Rs at Mountain Motorsports in Conyers in March, I opted for the Prepaid Maintenance plan that they offered. I think it was around $1400 or so. I'm glad I did now because that covers the first 6 services and how I took it, a couple of those are over $1000. I just took it a week ago and got the 600 mile service and 12 volt outlet installed.

My checkup was $179.00. SawgieBottoms in Leesville, La. The Dealer. He will have some dealers that see this PISSED,
 
I paid $66.00 for oil and filters, I have an SE5, and did it my self. With the tools I had to buy the average is $78.50 an oil change for the next 50,000 miles and I use Amsoil.

Oprative word is first encountered. My gut would wonder how many I missed.
