How the hell can it take 14 hours to service a one year old bike. Not saying it's not correct it just seems along time?

[Sharpy G]

maybe they have to make a special italian chant after removing each part ? LOL
or maybe they are working on the "you paid more for the bike" so "you can afford to pay more for the service" theory

which incidently isn't the case

still it's fun to ride !

[doogalman]

Or maybe they are not sure how to do it!!!!
Mike will give you a spot on apraisel of what is needed.

If you took the plunge and bought an R then you should have calculated your running and servicing costs into your yearly budget, if you have to ask what its going to cost it means your likely to start cutting corners on sevices etc.

But your looking at over £400.00

If its 2yr service then they do the fork oil, which is one chunk of the hours.........

being as most have had seals replaced under warranty between services there should be no need to have the fork oil done at the service

Thats cos you ladies have your bikes too upright too much!

Part of the seal on ohlins is the oil itself, coming from them working...........

??????
because someone has asked for expected servicing costs it means they're gonna start cutting corners ! Interesting statement.......

FWIW, my fork seals have been ok.
