Default another 10k service post

got my 10k service done. raining like crazy, so i can't really see how she runs. i had a local indy do it and i saved $140.00vs the dealer. They wanted $460.00. Lunatics .anywayi put my own grips on and the throttle got a little sloppy.. that's fixed now. he did my stage 1 last yearand suggested rejetting since i was still lean. i don't remember what size jeti went to without looking at the receipt.i have been using mobil 1 since the 5k in both holes and the tech said everything looked great. very little metal on the drainplug. i also had some vibration at 65, that's gone. i guess i will know more tomorrow when they roads get dry. have i mentioned lately that I LOVE THIS BIKE..
stay safe

Default RE: another 10k service post

That sounds like a royal screwing. Here in Augusta the dealer does the 24 point service in the back of the manual plus treats your leather on your seats and saddlebags for 284.00
and the best part?
bring it in the morning get it back that afternoon if you make an appointment.

Just curious as to what others in diff parts of the country pay for this service?
