I assumed that because you said you finished the job in 20 minutes. That seems very fast to me, especially when one cleans around the caliper pistons. My mistake.

There is no such thing as a less than 1 hour dealer service, unless the task is added to another service. The labor charged from the mechanic picking up the job slip at the service desk, until the bike is returned and the job slip completed. Multiply that times your dealer labor rate…and there ya go. Whst does **** me off, is when they chsrge full labor rate for lower skill tasks like oil changes. I just spent $450 for my annual service…basically oil change…on my Yammy outboard boat motor. Yeah, they check other stuff too…but dang.

oh and my local Jaguar dealer charges $300 per hour, and the shitty attitude is free. I did find a local Indy for only $210.

aren’t the majority of the Jag engines still Ford or Ford derivatives?
