service cost's

[tigerjon]

Would like some idea's on service cost's for triumph please?
Bmw 6000 miles £300+ 12000 miles £350+ a comparison will help in my decision?

Cheaper 6K..... £150.....More 12K.....£400????

not sure any one would know that yet...hec, we don't even have a good feel for what they actually cost yet - let alone the blinkin' service costs.!
If projections don't come down fast and hard - it may not matter.!

Based on the 675 costs from which the engine is based

Well at least Dick Turpin wore a mask eh!

Are bikes like cars....can they be serviced at a VAT registered UK garage and keep the warranty?

don't think even that holds these days
IIRC must be serviced by a competent person using the correct parts

Check the warranty out for Triumph.....some will want to argue about it.

condition 3

The machine must have been serviced by an authorised Triumph dealer, at the intervals specified in the Triumph Owners Handbook and the service log completed accordingly.

is, I'm pretty certain an invalid term, unless Triumph are claiming this is an extended warranty (above and beyond their standard warranty). Im pretty certain that no manufacturer is able to enforce that customers MUST have the product maintained by their own dealer network.

wouldn't stop me from getting a bike serviced at a dealer though

Yup I agree it may well be a null statement by Triumph regarding the servicing stipulations..... Who's going to find out?

I did say some would want to argue about it..........
