24k service . . . . remortgage time?

[GTRPete]

Morning chaps. 
Almost time for the big one.  I know a few of you have gone through this one and hopefully remained solvent (although you may have sniffed some before you read the bill  :-\ ) so could I wsked how much you wll paid?

I live in Bristol and my kawasaki dealer is brilliant and well worth a trip for a service and I am sure they will be amongst the cheapest.

I woud also like to know if any of you had to shell out for any other stuff that was found during this service.

Thanks chaps!

Thank you very much Pete you have just put me off my breakfast :'( Remortgage and service in the same breath is very upsetting for us old folk that are nearly on the state pension. My advise to you would be, book it in then when you return to pick it up just take a very deep breath then whilst grating your teeth pay the bill go outside climb on the bike and go on a very long ride. Then when you get home think well that ££££££££££££ was well spent what a great bike . :)

I think it's about 500 quid.

100 is spot on ... just take a deep breath and sign on the dotted line ... then out for a ride and enjoy your recently serviced dream machine  :)

I think it's about 500 quid.

And worth every penny to keep the beast roaring!  ;D

The only thing that'll roar is my missus when she sees the bank statement. . . .

I've been looking at another GTR today and trying to use the angle that the next service on my bike is the 24k one and it could be pricey. The wife simply said how much? I told her and she just said if it needs it, it needs it.  :o  I think she's upto something!!

mmmmm that's  a crafty ploy

Maybe you could tell her that you "need" to change the GTR  ;)

Mine was about £800 but I rolled the 24k and 26k services together and included a new front PR2 as well.
24k was valves and spark plugs, 26k was oil/filter/diff-oil/airfilter.
So yeah, I'd say around £500 for just the valves and sparkplugs.

Pete ... just use Tipex on your bank statement ... she'll never notice !!!  ;D

What? They change iridium plugs that are supposed to last at least 80K miles not only @ 8K but also @ 24K miles?
OK, I guess when you have to check the valves changing the plugs won't take 4 hrs but that just doesn't make sense!

Mines told me I can have a new BMW 1600GT in June!

I wondered how long it would take ya  ;....I hope that you're sure about that decision  ;)D

GTBH - Thought about it, and don't think I really want to give up the GTR
