And it was less than I actually expected it to be. Apparently, no expensive parts (V-Belt, Drive Chain, etc) was replaced as others seem to have reported. Just filters, gaskets, etc. The only EXPENSIVE items replaced were the tires. Normally I'd do them myself, but since the scooter was in for service anyway, I figured what the hell... let them do it this once.
They also addressed THREE recall items; two of which we all knew about and one I hadn't seen discussed. The cam chain tensioner and side stand switches were replaced. Also, BMW apparently recalled the luggage rack support brace, and it was replaced with a newer, sturdier unit. Last year's recall addressed the fasteners loosening up; it seems there was ANOTHER recall on the luggage rack/trunk mount so check with your dealers if you haven't had this done yet.
Total parts/labor/tax came to $783.62 in New York dollars (cheaper I'm sure in other parts of the country). NOT having the tires done would've saved me over $500.00 parts and labor. Justscootin asked me what the labor rate was by me and I wasn't sure. I can now answer "$105.00 per hour." Woof...!!
Ah well... consider it my contribution to the economy. I'll just call myself a "Job Creator" and go pour myself a cold one now.
