[Beagle]

Engine oil @ £18.98 per litre, oil filter @ £18.52 & FD oil @ £32.46 per litre.

I make that £126.90

[David.]

The FD unit doesn't take a litre of oil.

[Beagle]

The FD unit doesn't take a litre of oil.

That comes to Engine oil +filter +fd oil = £102.
What happened to other checks and labour.

[David.]

Seems rather expensive for oils & filter.

Hiflo HF160, £6.59, https://chainsandsprockets.co.uk/produc ... gKwMfD_BwE

Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T 5w-40, £10.98 per litre, https://www.demon-tweeks.com/castrol-po ... lsrc=aw.ds

Castrol Syntrax Long Life Differential Oil 75W90, £19.49 per litre, https://www.demon-tweeks.com/castrol-sy ... 4d4980346e

That comes to Engine oil + filter + fd oil = £70, a saving of £32 or more depending on how much FD oil is required.

Was brake fluid changed?

[David.]

Brake fluid is changed, initially after one year, then every two years. The bike is 2018, therefore, not due until 2021.

[Beagle]

Oil & filter, FD oil plus collection & delivery was £108.

But thats just materials. What was the total service cost.

[David.]

£180

[Beagle]

“they will be charging around £100 per hour for labour”




So only charging around £70 per hour then

[David.]

The labour charge is based on an hourly rate where the AW = 12.00 for one hour. On the invoice below, the rate is £93.60 + 20% VAT = £112.32.

[Beagle]

Now I am confused. You said total service cost was£180 Yet the cost above was over £250

I don't think its David's invoice, he'll have just got an image from Google for reference.

[David.]

£180 was quoted by a.n.other for a 2 year (second annual) service on a 2018 Wethead.

The invoice for £254.08 if for someone else's 2012 Camhead, for what looks like an annual/6,000 miles service. Used to demonstrate how the hourly labour rate is broken down into AW portions for selected service items, (AW 12 = 1 hour).
