Time for spring repairs....

So I go pulled over on Monday, for no light on my license plate. Only place I could find the part is the dealer yay, its only $156. Then I noticed that my left fork is weeping so I figure hey have them do that and my chain and sprockets while I am there. Well $800 later and I get to ride but I still need to do the 16k service and they want about $2000 for it. Any ideas on where to get cheapper quality service in the North Lake Tahoe, Reno area?

 

2 grand?....for 16K service! Damn! I was complaining about $500-600 for mine, guess I'll shut up!! What year is your ride?

 

Yeah that sounds like the "this guy don't know...." so let's shaft him price. I would talk to the service manager and tell him that you know the gig is up. Talk some shit about them on Craigslist rants and raves too!

 

Mac - I know a motorcycle guy in SLT that does quality work on the side and doesn't financially rape you. PM me if you want contact info.

 

After market fork seals $50-70/ chain and sprockets /Sprockets thru Honda are $100 and chain aftermarket is $98-140 depending on Oring or Xring. The next time you are missing a license plate lite call a salvage yard ..

Did honda include butt lube with that ? .LOL

 

Yeah k-y was an option, and I did try the salvage yards but no one had the part I was lookin for wihtin an hour drive. After talking to my buddy who builds custom harley's about the 16k service, he told me not to worry about it. So yeah the dealership sucks and I think I might write a letter to honda or something but in the meantime its too late to get my money back. Think I am goning to buy the shop manual and get him to do the work on it for me. The fork seals were 200 with labor, and the chain and sprocket set were 175 plus labor.

 

man for $2000 you could find a new motor. talk about a butt reaming. What year bike do you have?

 

Wow for some reason I thought I had my 95 vfr listed on my mini profile thing under my name. It might have been around 2k for the work I am geting done plus the 16k and 24k service, who knnows. It was half the price of my bike so I said F that.

 

Get a Honda manual and do the work yourself. The only thing i have the dealer do is change my tires...
