Took 55 minutes. (on Independence Day)
&nbsp\\;
Non-synthetic oil. (I change my oil every 2000 miles)
&nbsp\\;
$281 after a 10% discount for being a local VIP.
&nbsp\\;
$195 in labor.
&nbsp\\;
$50 in parts (includes 2 plugs (I hope are installed) and a chrome oil filter)
&nbsp\\;
$19.95 in shop supplies! (WTF?)
&nbsp\\;
Oh, and they washed the cleanest bike they have ever seen.
&nbsp\\;
I asked... how was everything? Reply, "Fine". Me - Did they check all the spokes? Ahhh... nevermind. Here's my credit card, get me outta here.
&nbsp\\;
Ok... that's 3 times... the 1000 mile service, the 3000 fluids change and the 5000.
&nbsp\\;
...from now on, I'll do it myself, thank you. You draw your own conclusions.

 

Well, you asked us if you should do your own 5k service. We said yes. You shoulda listened.&nbsp\\; [sm=goodidea.gif]

 

Did my 15k service couple weekends ago.&nbsp\\; Took me a little longer than that, but thats cuz I putz around and was interrupted on numerous ocasions to do something for the wife.
&nbsp\\;
Only cost the the price of fluids and a filter.
&nbsp\\;
While I understand a dealer has to make a living, they are charging WAY too much for what is to be done.&nbsp\\; I can understand some folks not wanting to do it themselves, that is their choice... whatever.&nbsp\\; I personally would rather save the multi hundred dollar savings on something else.

 

Ok Guys see if there is a Lucas oil pit stop in your area there is 1 in Sandwich,ILL at Black Magic Customs no waiting time 150.00 5000 mile checkup Lucas syn premium oil and stabilizer in all 3 holes runs cooler and smoother and some how runs alot better its unreal the difference check it out I will never have any thing else in my Super glide custom 07 !

 

My Dealer just charged $140 on the 3rd took 2 hours, seemed like a reasonable price to me for what all they did.

 

i just did my 15000 mile check.&nbsp\\; no fluid changes as i change them on their proper schedule. anyway, it took me about 2 hours. i look at everything i'm supposed to, and more.&nbsp\\;i really enjoy wrenching my bike and i know that i check and adjust everything with more care than any dealer. i'm a bit **** about things like that. i dont beat up on dealers for making a buck but i think their charges for the scheduled chages are a bit high..\\

Changed my primary and tranny fluid at a little over&nbsp\\;10,000 miles&nbsp\\;last weekend. Took about 30 minutes and cost about $25 for the rubber washers, Amsoil shockproof tranny fluid, Mobil 1 20w50 and a funnel with a flexible plastic tube. I'll probably change the oil in about 1,000 miles since it's been in there for about 4,000 miles now.

 

Every dealer I have been in posts prices for the regular service intervals, so I imagine you knew what the price would be before you left your bike with them. Why are you bitching now? I agree they charge too much, but you knew that before.

 

&nbsp\\;
I have done 18 oil changes 4 primary/trans changes and 3 sets of plugs all for under 500 bux with syn oil.Id hate to think of paying the dealer 140 each time.

 

&nbsp\\;
Yeah you are right. I will do it myself from now on. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
