deersSlayer Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I don't plan to let the dealer work on my bike much, always had more confidence in a good independent mechanic like I've had for years. But I did want them to do the 600 mile service. Just dropped my bike off and the estimate is $215. Seems kind of high for an oil change and whatever. Are they including syncing the throttle bodies? That is part of the first service. FJ-09, 690 Enduro R. Back Roads. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your dealer charging? merged with the existing thread wessie your stealer is more affordable than mine. Not by much, but its speaks volumes when its not consistent.

Well, mine is still the champ of stealers, they wanted $450.00. Now that is a Stealer with a capital S. From what I saw people posting, it seems like the average is around $200.00 in the US.

steve Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 85€ is very good, yours is the cheapest Euro service here - One in Croatia and mine in Holland were 107 €. We might all come over to your dealer in Serbia for our services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellas Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 All authorized dealers/service-shops in Greece are instructed by Yamaha Greece, that all labour for the 1st service is discounted at 100%. That is, customer pays only for the oil and filter. As a curtsey of the dealer I got the bike, as long as I service it on his shop I shall receive 10% discount on materials and 20% discount on labour. So my 1st service was 25 Euros, yamalube oil 2.7lt and Denso (yamaha) filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjindy66 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Interesting-I'm thinking about taking mine back to Westfield for its first service soon--just over 650 miles on mine at the moment, and planned to ask about that anyway. If they don't, I may as well do the service myself, since I just picked up my service manual yesterday..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db5304 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 about $40 for my first service. Did it all myself, paid for oil and filter, already had chain lube and cleaner. i was a little late at about 680 miles, but whenever it wasn't raining i've been riding or busy. Regarding the throttle sync, people have been saying this is a first service item. I've looked through the manual and they are suggesting it every service... I will wait a bit and take it in if i notice any issues but thats a bit excessive to me. Used Mobil 1 synthetic 4t 10w-40, KN-204 filter, and also gave her a good wash, and a once over. Does anyone know if the dealer or the factory put in the first run of oil? Whoever it was they had a gorilla in the shop and torqued the crap out of my oil filter and plug. Before I even tried to remove drain plug I noticed it was already stripped (took pics before putting a wrench on it) and I had to use a breaker bar. I mutilated the oil filter removing it using a pair of channel locks and the good ol screwdriver through er method. I will be mentioning this to my dealer and requesting a new oil pan bolt from them.

xpress Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The dealer I bought mine through wanted $200 to change the oil/filter, inspect all the nuts/bolts, and inspect/lube the chain. They made no indications they would be doing anything further. I paid $35 for a gallon of Yamalube 10w-40, the oil filter, and some dry spray wash from the same dealer and did everything myself as per the manual and documented everything that was done.
