How much have you spent servicing your bike at the dealership? - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

VEGASRIDER · 08-26-2008, 12:00 AM

Just curious how much everyone has spent getting their Fizzer repaired or serviced at the dealership. This includes any parts that were purchased and installed by them, like tires and filters, etc. In other words, if they turned a wrench, then it counts. Any parts purchased and installed by you does not count!

First service: 100 Euro. August 2007
10.000 km: 150 Euro. November 2007
20.000 km: 350 Euro April 2008
30.000 km: 150 euro August 2008

= 750 Euro = 1100 USD

This is excluding 2 sets of tires, new front suspension, sub cowling.

Man I need an extra job.........

I've done it all DIY. However, invested probably $175 for new metric wrenches, sockets, allen sockets, and a Motion Pro Carb Synch tool.

Aggietaco · 08-26-2008, 05:57 AM

Why do you need a carb sync?

Aggietaco · 08-26-2008, 05:58 AM

Ah nevermind, forgot about the TB's.

Do it myself except for recalls on my 2004 at the dealership. I did have tires mounted at an indy shop though.

**FZ6inNH** · 08-26-2008, 08:54 AM

Never been back for any service after the OTD purchase. I've done it all myself and check things a lot more often than the manual asks you to.

**Hellgate** · 08-26-2008, 09:05 AM

Not a plug nickel. DIY.

The only service work I forsee is changing tires and adjusting valves. I've done both but don't care to ever do them again.

The nice thing about working on an MC vs. a car is with an MC everything, for the most part, it external. You don't need to remove body parts, covers, jack up, etc. Even many of the motor parts are external; clutch plates, cassette transmissions, drive sprockets, chains, etc. With a little bit of time and some help, working on an MC is pretty easy...and fun too.

If it weren't for tires, $0. next time I need new tires, I plan on investing in a wheel balancer and some 2x4s so I do that myself as well.
