£705 inc VAT. And that's without the new belts, which the dealer had replaced a couple months before.

They had to find me a chair.

Pah! That's nuffing! I collected my 999S on Saturday and the bill was well into four figures... though it was for more than just a service

£600

Well, My 749R went in monday night 3.30pm for its 1 year service and it was supposed to be ready this afternoon but come 5.00pm no phone call to say it was ready so I rang the dealer who said that it would be better to leave it until wednesday as the technician did not want to rush it to get it back to me tonight.

Got me wondering what the f**k is the bill going to be like if they have had it all this time with apparently no major problems to deal with, what the hell have they been doing all day ?

I asked if there was anything to report and the only suggestion was that I could do with a new rear tyre which I told them to leave as for one the bill would be bad enough and for two the tyre looked good for another 1000 miles or so to me, so it can wait until over the winter for this.

Whats the guessing on my bill tomorrow then ??

Is it in for a 6K service or a 12K service???

6000 mile service but I have only done about 2300 miles with no problems to report apart from the occasional cutting out when cold and sometimes at junctions, I usually just ride around this by blipping the throttle to keeep the revs up.

I listed a few items that I had read about on the site, recalls, known faults etc, but I presumed that these would be looked at under the warranty part of the service and the labour involved in checking these not billed to me.

I also put in a claim for a new slipper clutch as I believe there is a recall to replace the original clutch with a modified or Bucci one but as I have already bought a new one myself I wanted some compensation in return.
I am not holding my breath on this !

You'll get multiple applications from TP for this prize

I'll say £412.69p inc vat

[misterpink]

so..they didn't quite push it up to the £749 then, i guess a 999 is close to a £1,000 to service - bring back the lira !

And the winner is,

I am so happy I need to go and buy something new to celibrate, ordered the new bar risers, time for some rearsets I think.

Total cost of my 1 year ( 6000 mile ) sevice with all my quierys seen to, cam timing done, mixture set, brakes bled, oil, filter, sump washer, fuel filter,spark plugs, etc etc was an incredible £189.00 all in

Oh I am so happy
