I dropped my AN650 off yesterday afternoon for its 7500 mile service, and got it back late this morning.
I had Silkolene full synthetic oil put in the engine and transmission ($37.99) and Silkonene full synthetic gear oil put in the rear drive ($15.35). They installed an new OEM Suzuki oil filter ($9.99), and two new NGK spark plugs ($13.98 ). Labor was billed at three hours ($195). Plus the usual misc shop fees and tax.
Out of pocket cost to me was $0.00, because of the 3 year maintenance agreement I purchased.
Note: If I didn't have the maintenance agreement, I wouldn't have specifed the most expensive lubricants on the shelf, and I would have questioned why they replaced the spark plugs this early. But since I do have the maintenance agreement, it costs me $0.00 whether they use the most expensive oil, or the cheapest oil - and it makes no out of pocket difference whether they just inspect the spark plugs or give me new ones.
I paid $899 for the maintenance contract, and in my first 9 months of ownership, I've racked up $628.76 in maintenance costs, which includes three scheduled services, one extra engine oil & filter change in April, and the mounting of my Pirelli rear tire - all covered under the agreement. I figure I'll rack up about $2000 by the end of the 3 years, unless they shoot me first or steal my scooter....
