Re: How much have you spent servicing your bike at the dealership?
Isn't that steep? I paid $106 for my 600 M service, without the oil/filter change. I agree about letting them do a good once-over.

Re: How much have you spent servicing your bike at the dealership?
IIRC my dealer charges $75/hr; could be wrong about that though. The first filter, I bought there @ $17. Blew me away. Now I use $6 Pure Ones, and I understand they're better. I'm in southern NY, probably not too far from you. I bought my bike new down near Atlantic City.

Re: How much have you spent servicing your bike at the dealership?
The dealer's here are about the same rates, money well saved for future mods in my opinion.
The only major issue with people doing their own work is the lack of proper tools, specifically the torque wrench. The end result is always an over-tightened and stripped set of threads and a big "OH CRAP!" look.
