12,000 mile service due

Post by **Gavj** » Mon Jul 17, 2023 7:06 pm

So, dealer wants £515 for this service, bikes just turned 3yr old and has done 11,500 miles so warranty is over.

Oil change - no problem
Air filter - No problem
Valve clearances.... - probably but never done a shift cam
Spark Plugs - no problem
Re set service light?.... I assume I need a scan tool / OSBDII thingy..... used a PC and cable to do my Triumphs anyone done theirs?

If you are planning on doing your own servicing then I would invest that money in to the tools to do it correctly

I would be buying all the cam alignment tools and the timing jig too providing you can buy them again as they was out of stock everywhere!

I would think about investing in a GS-911 or the motoscan app too for the service light and any other issues you may face in the future

I’ve had the cam alignment jig, cam chain tensioner tool and the tdc tool on order since December last year, the tdc tool arrived a few weeks ago but no sign of the rest as yet.

I know!. If any of these tools get broken at a dealer how are they going to perform the tasks. I was going to check my shims but do t want to go back in to check the cam timing if they arrive soon. Urgh!

£515 is a lot more than I would expect to pay for 12,000 mile service even if brake fluid change due. My last main service 60,000 only came to just over £300. Are they quoting for any other work?

I was quoted £499 for a 12000 service in Shrewsbury last month

No Additional work, just had another quote from a different dealer, £400 or £350 without brake fluid….

Still weighing up options, erring towards doing the service myself.. seen this scan tool, anyone used it?
