Re: Servicing Costs
I always serviced my own.. super simple for oil, plugs and filters. Would often clean the EGR valves too

Re: Servicing Costs
Just been quoted £300 plus VAT for a plug service by Fowlers in Gloucester. I've replied asking what is included in that price. I'm buggered if I'm paying that just for an oil change!

Re: Servicing Costs
I bought my SV650 from them and asked for a service when I bought it.. they never even did the oil.
Check out how much plugs are, I used to get mine for about £20 a set. Also find out how involved it is to get to the back two cylinders, it may be a half day job for an amateur

Re: Servicing Costs
If its a plug service then I reckon there's a couple of hours labour getting to and replacing the plugs as well as the usual changes and checks

Re: Servicing Costs
Might as well wait for a plug service and just change the oil myself. It's due valve clearance in 4K miles so they can do both jobs at the same time?

Re: Servicing Costs
Place to go is AP Performance in Tamworth. Bit of a trek for you but will be worth every penny. Griff is a genius when it comes to Aprilias and will only do what needs doing.

Re: Servicing Costs
I can second this recommendation. Despite it being a 4 hour round trip for me, it was the only place I would take my RSV.duke63 wrote:Place to go is AP Performance in Tamworth.

I still remember the first time I talked to Griff, the stator had burned out and he talked me through how to replace it. Never asked for a penny for his time.
He's also a suspension genius if you want your suspension setup.
