Default RE: dealer ripoff?


ORIGINAL: Turnin20s

Paying the dealer that much to do an oil change is just ridiculous. The filter can't be more than $10 and the oil is what, $3.50 a quart and you need to buy 4 of them. That adds up to $24 and they are charging $100+ I'm sorry but I'd be learning how to do stuff to my bike really fast. No offense to anyone, I know some people don't have anywhere to put the oil after a change or something like that or don't want to comprimise the warrenty, but for something you can do yourself for more than half the cost I'd find a friend that has someplace to drain the oil. Thats just my .02

About the frame sliders kiggy74 did an awesome write-up on how to do it using a laser level. You can get the level from wal mart for $20 it really works great, I used his instructions when I did mine and it turned out great. If you have already done some mechanical work you will be just fine, just take your time and do it right. Do some searches and see what people have done.

I pay about $50 for an oil change at my dealer. Seems a little higher but just like with a car they want service records on most things if you have a warranty clam. Don't want to have any hassles so I pay a little more for routine maintence.

Thats a loaded question! If you don't know whats up you'll save money letting the dealer do it once instead of putting your box O' parts back together. But hey try anthing once Right?
