I am eagerly waiting to collect my 650 ABS Executive (one week & counting.....)
When I went into the shop recently, I got talking to the mechanic, and he said "I've heard the first service takes 6 hours...."
I know the shop have never sold a 650 (mine is the first) but the mechanic has been on a training course.
I have looked at the service schedule and I think it consists of:-
Oil & Filter change.
Transmission Oil change.
Final Drive Oil CHange.
Tightness check etc.
Most of the other things are brake inspection, throttle play etc
Looking at old posts, it looks like the Fluid changes take an hour or so, and being generous another hour to do a tightness check.
So where do the other 4 hours go?
How long should it take?
If I am going to get screwed everytime I take it to be serviced I think I will get my hands dirty.
The only 'nasty' one I can see is the Tappets at 15000 miles
