my last 6000 mile service cost me $1400.00, whats steep to you?

I think most run in the $500 range, give or take $200.

$1400.00! Wow! What all was involved with that service? Im around the $950-1000 mark. How does $500-$700 even come into play?

 

What are you having done?

Valves (adjust or check?) 300-500
Rear break pad -20 dollar part + 0.5 labor
belts - ~60 dollars in parts + 1-0.5 labor

 

With the 6K, you get the usual "good stuff" oil, brake, clutch, plugs they, (eastside motor sports) gave me a list. I dont have it off hand. again as I said, I need new belt at $100 a piece as well as rear pads...also Im getting a 14 tooth up front to the tune of 40$ (part only)

 

clutch.... ok that will put you up another 200 in parts and about another 1-1.5 in labor.

 

no clutch work..just new fluids...my bad.

 

Mine was 6 something at motorcorsa, that included belts....and adjustment of a couple valves that were off. if that helps ya any.....

 

You could do the easy stuff (oil,break pads, hydraluic fluid, plugs, air filter, fuel filter) and bring it in for the valves and belts (assuming you don't do them as well).

 

my bike needed two valves adjusted. To adjust the valves on the 06 749S you need to remove the heads. Heads also need new gaskets. So on top of the normal $600 or so 6000 mile maintenance charge, I got another $800 for taking the heads off and replacing the gaskets. It was an additional 8hours of shop labor or something like that.

 

My 6,000 was $340.00

The real joy came at 12,000 - $2,140.00 :'(

I think the next service is 18,000 miles (?) and I've got 900 miles to go.

Looking forward to it :-\

 

what did you have done for 2k?

 

My 18k ended up being just over $400... 24k is just around the corner... Might have to learn how to do the valves myself this winter and invest the "maintenance labor" cost into something else.

 

Belts aren't due until 12k. Or, are yours old? DIY, bro, DIY.

 

For the cost you guys are talking you could just get a new motor

 

Ah, you mean we could get a used motor that needs service?

I had the belts changed on mine, because the previous owner never drove it and they were old....It was a minimal expense with them already working on the bike.

why do you want a 620?

Are you planning to buy it for the tires?

 

Nah, it has 9540 miles on it. I bet the front tire is still stock. The rear pilot power looks new enough.
