Rear tire R&R and balance with CA disposal fees was $35. (I think dealership wanted like $140 or some nonsense) | ||

Both tires changed & balanced = $50 (Not @ the dealer) Otherwise, I've paid for the parts and done the work myself so far. | ||

Funk & P_Sqd On or off the bike? | ||

OEM Rear tire, mount and balanced 270.00 Road into the shop before the snow fell...dealer delivered to my door after the snow fell no extra charge.   | ||

Tires off the bike. If you have a lift/stands, they'll pay for themselves on the tire changes IMO. | ||

If I buy the tires there (Cycle Rider, Pomona, Ca.), no cost for mount and balance. If I bring in the tires and wheels. Normal maintenance, parts cost only...do my own work. Except forks and shocks. Mike | ||

1_mike Do you pay list price for the tires? I am assuming that you mean you bring the wheels in off of the bike. | ||

12K service on 1125R $640 (including replacing front brake pads, but I brought my own pads) They did a stellar job and well worth the price! | ||

Don't out me like that, Steve!  | ||

Cyclegear is free for balance. Mounting AND balance is free at Willow Springs. I do my own work: FREE (not including parts or beer) | ||

First service 1,000 km, 7 days after the bike's delivery. Took 3+ hours (I waited). Cost was ~A$275, received no indication that the dealer (Harley City) did any more than change the oil & filter (per the invoice) and wash it (because I sighted) and took it for a test ride (they advised orally). | ||

Anonymous often means BMC... perhaps Buell is conducting some informal research... can't hurt to help out. | ||

Local HD dealer charges $50/wheel of the bike. Local sport bike shop charges $25/ wheel off the bike. Free if tires purchased form them. | ||

My HD/Buell dealer charges $100/hr. Just to put on my front tire after I bent the rim on a pothole was $100. The first service cost me $307 before tax, plus an extra $50 to adjust the suspension. Since then I have done the oil changes myself. I need to get my tire replace soon and they are saying that it will cost me 1hr of labor for the front and 1 1/2hr for the rear, so to get both tires replaced there will cost me $250, just in labor costs. I looked at another place and was quoted $75 for the back. If anyone is on Long Island and knows of a better place to get the tires replaced, let me know. I already have the back tire. Anyway those are the prices so far. I am dreading the 12000 mile maintenance. I think I will have to sell some blood or other bodily fluids to afford it. Mike |
