Well I finally pick up my bike from the Dealership today. I brought it in for the 28,000 Gold Service. While working on it the Tech discovered there was a rock puncture in the drive belt and it needed to replaced, so I approved that. Then I was advised the rear tire was down to it's Wear markers. They said it would probably last until Spring, but since they were back there replacing the drive belt anyway, I approved them to replace the tire was well. This way I won't have to pay more in the Spring. A load test on the battery disclosed a dead cell, so I had them install a new battery as well. So the Gold Service came in at $630.00. The belt/tire replacement came to $1,192 parts/labor and the battery replacement came to $260.00. So with tax and shop costs, out the door $2,352.00. But I should be good to go until the end of next summer.

Next time you need a belt replaced bring it over to my place, I'll do it for a steak dinner! Wow $2000 for a belt job!

Mikey,

The $2,000 was also for the PIN in the automatic steering column plus the drive belt ( that had bad cogs, which made the :spyder2: not safe to drive. The $2,000 quote was to replace the PIN in the automatic steering column, and replace the drive belt. I also posted that in my post #14 the reason why I it cost that. Also part of the $2,000 cost was for labor, and time.
