Mine was like 260 on my 06 when i had it done.. No more ...i do all my own service and if it requires more i have an indy that will get the work.. I dont need to pay for a pretty store front. I do like the dealer but hell when you own the dealership and the bar next door and the gas station next to both your making some big F*&King money

Thanks , Dan
Valvoline 20W-50 motorcycle oil $2.99 a qt at autozone-bought a case yesterday and black filters are $8.99 at the local dealer or closer to $8 if I add them onto a Zanotti's order.

I wouldn't let the dealer near me change the oil in my raggedy *** Murray lawnmower. They ought to be glad it is parked out front every once a while!

That is about what they get in my area. $325 for the 1000 mile service with synthetic in all 3 holes. But the dealer I go to has Amsoil, Redline shockproof heavy, and others, so you can chose what you want in the motor/primary/trans. I suppose if they actually do the work they are supose to it's not to outrageous. But when I had my Night Train done in 05, the steering neck was never greased. They did adjust the clutch however.

WOW! $22 for something that takes about a minute to do....that equals to $1320 per hour. Think I will go into the battery replacing business.

Angry Jonesboro H-D $$$$$$$$$$$$
Friend of mine took his UC in last week for 10,000 mile service and paid $185.00 and then he had a rear tire replaced with a new one and mount/balance/tire/labor $299.00. I think you got off cheap. This stealler would not do warranty for me, never could work me in, think it might be that I did not buy from him???

that sounds like a normal price for a dealer. The last time I had the dealer do oil and filter on my bike was 2 years ago and it was approx. 90$.
Now I have an indy do it...or maybe I'll do it myself this summer.
