I would also think it would be a fixed rate for this service. I'll get on to Lind - Norwich and find out why they think they should charge over the odds, could it be because I didn't purchase the bike from them?
This is the break down of my last service,granted I paid over the odds for the K3,could of saved £50 on that price! Damn thing cost me £201 but what really bumped all mine up was the VAT,they had the bike in the work shop for over 3 hours! So it was around £160 for the labour,if I've done my Maths right he he.
Had the bike in at vines in Guildford this morning to replace faulty switchgear and whilst there I took the opportunity to ask about servicing costs. Was quoted approx £250 for the 6k service which is oil + filter and brake fluid change - their labour cost is £108 per hour which would account for the overall cost.
On that basis it sounds like your dealers labour cost is an absolute bargain, you may have paid over the odds for the tyre but more than offset by the cheap labour.
Happy days.
