I live only a few miles from IBFREE, and the problem is the indies also charge the same rate, so whats the difference? I do most of my own service, but even getting a tire mounted is 50 bucks its just plain stupid! if I had a bigger garage I would buy a tire mounting machine and do it myself, it would be paid of in a couple of years. I need to do the 50k service and the only thing I want to bring it to the dealer to do is flush the brake lines because its abs, I can only imagine how much that is going to cost and if it will even be done right....

and you can flush your brakes yourself without dealer help - just pull the maxi fuse for 30 seconds and reinstall. speed bleeders work wonders as well and will keep you from even having to pull the maxi.

all you need is a service manual (or common since) the right fluids and filter do your safety checks according to the manual and boom your done. 65to 75.oo bucks and this is coming from a stealership PHD tech. I charge 150 for my fees (in my garage) that includes fluids and filter I make 75 you put 75 in parts seems fair to me. My customers seem to not mind but my stealership charges 280 to 300.

My local dealer has a service program available for $2400.00. Any scoot 10 yrs old or less (you have until your 10th anniversary purchase date) can buy into it and from the point of purchase will get routine maintenance, including Syn 3, for 10 years unlimited mileage. It's also transferable to a new scoot purchase.

Yeah, you can ride it hard, put it away wet and let the dealer bed it down.

go to your local shop & have them do it, there's nothing on the 5k that they can''t do.just keep your receipt. if you dont hot-rod the bike your ok if you ever hear a noise in the primary area, shut the bike off immediately, to prevent further damage to the compensator.did you get the ext warrenty? you might grease the steering neck yourself,
mine was very dry when i did it. '09 tr-glide. also put some di-electrical grease on the fuses & in all elec connections.
