Seems rather expensive for oils & filter.

Hiflo HF160, £6.59, https://chainsandsprockets.co.uk/produc ... gKwMfD_BwE

Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T 5w-40, £10.98 per litre, https://www.demon-tweeks.com/castrol-po ... lsrc=aw.ds

Castrol Syntrax Long Life Differential Oil 75W90, £19.49 per litre, https://www.demon-tweeks.com/castrol-sy ... 4d4980346e

That comes to Engine oil + filter + fd oil = £70, a saving of £32 or more depending on how much FD oil is required.

Brake fluid is changed, initially after one year, then every two years. The bike is 2018, therefore, not due until 2021.

The labour charge is based on an hourly rate where the AW = 12.00 for one hour. On the invoice below, the rate is £93.60 + 20% VAT = £112.32.

£180 was quoted by a.n.other for a 2 year (second annual) service on a 2018 Wethead.

The invoice for £254.08 if for someone else's 2012 Camhead, for what looks like an annual/6,000 miles service. Used to demonstrate how the hourly labour rate is broken down into AW portions for selected service items, (AW 12 = 1 hour).
