Zitat von duccrazydave im Beitrag #15 Did it mention whether or not an adjustment was needed? |

Would be interested to hear others' views on having servicing done by non-BMW franchised dealers, at least on bikes which are out of warranty (like mine)? Looks like everyone in this thread uses BMW... KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2 + R1200RS |

I used to use an independent workshop in Cardiff for my R1150GS. He was the senior technician for a BMW dealer, Rydale, but was made redundant when Sytner took over and binned the motorrad |

No Mike. All of the clearances were within range. I'll get a pic of the sheet asap |

My bike had one dealer service at 1 year old. At year 2 I changed the oil, filters, plugs and hub oil myself with no trouble at all. All material bought online. Carpe Diem! |

Today my oil and filter change plus rear hub oil change cost me 2 mugs of coffee in the comfort of my own shed
Carpe Diem!

12k service today, a little early at 11548 miles as I'm off on holiday in 16 Sept. Also a warranty check as this expires during my trip. |

So what value is added to labor? I can comprehend the VAT on a material item, but why labor? In California we get hit up with anything from 7.5% to 10% "sales tax", depending upon where the business is located, but labor is exempt from that tax, along with food that is not prepared.

£325 was about the same for my 12k service, I had all the jobs you listed plus all brake fluids changed, I didn't ask for that to be done but I was happy they had, it's funny how you get used to lesser level of braking, this shows up when the fluid is changed, back to 'as new' braking capacity.

Zitat von boxter im Beitrag #25 I think brake fluid is part of the annual service, not mileage service. I think they change the fluid after 1 year and then every other year. So, my brake fluid is due a change in 12 months as it was changed in Sept 2017 (I just checked the invoice when filing away the new one). The brakes on the loan bike seemed slightly sharper. It has done under 2000 miles but that might have just been the lever adjustment as I did not fiddle with it. |
