Our local dealer here on Vancouver Island is advertising a 3 hole change for 249 Canadian which works out to about 183 US dollars. Not too bad but I still won't pay that as I don't like anyone else working on my motorcycle....

Damb.... So just to make a bit of a correction... I just called them and talked to service. ( I was honestly just curious) The price they gave you is a "Full Service" (Oil Change") They claim they go over the entire bike... (Whatever). I said, no... I just want the cost of a 3 hole oil change. Drop the fluids and put new fluid and filter. $380.00! Holy... Fu*&^^... I told them I can't believe they have anyone bring their bike in. He said they charge $135/hour for labor, it takes them 2.5 hours, + the supplies and miscellaneous shop costs... That just blows my mind if people are actually bringing their bikes into that shop and paying $380 for a freaking OIL CHANGE....

I don't know what the details are for his tires, but it might not be that crazy. I just had to get a rear tire on my springer... (240 rear tire)... It was over $400 just for the tire alone. You add in the cost of a front tire and then a bit of labor. That's $800+ pretty quickly. 
I am changing the fluids myself.
