All service from the dealer is charged from the labor time/cost book. If it states 1 hour and it takes 1/2hr., your still billed 1 hr. On the other hand, if it takes 2 hrs., you're still billed for the 1 hr. as stated in the book. I agree that you should've been quoted the total parts and labor to begin with.

Ok...I know some of these guys are in the wrong position and should maybe be doing something else, but this seems a bit like piling on
...i mean, they have to have at least the most basic knowledge. Like, they know waht a motorcycle is.....right?(and guys at the dealership I go to seem to know what's up....they don't work on my bike, but they seem ok)

What work, there are no new jobs? Unless you are working for the government. There are lots of new government jobs.

I got a radio flash cause I couldn't do it myself. Dealer pulled the left bag and side cover. Then the right bag and side cover to find the ALDL. So sometimes you have to double the time. Then I made sure the grommets in the side covers weren't mangled or missing (one gone when I purchased the bike later found two on one post on other side) and the bag fasteners were done correctly so that added at least a few minutes of my time.

Just picked up my bike after its 20,000 mile check, new sneaks and a few mi or adjustments. All covered by me pre paid maintenance so all good there. I decided to have them instal a stage one kit to open things up a bit. Was told $150.00. Get the invoice and it turned into $379.00. $140.00 for the Stage one, $150.00 for the digital download and $90.00 labor. I'm not even sure they put in a new air cleaner!!!!!
