gotta wonder ???
my last bike (2004 Honda VFR800 ABS/VTEC) was alot harder to do an oil change
(had to split the lower fairing, oil got everywhere, had to clean everything before buttoning up)
the Connie takes 1/3 the time to do an oil change.
the shop I used to use charged $90 for an AmsOil oil change, labor, filter, chain adjust, ect... (on the VFR)
I took the Connie in to them (didn't bother asking for a quote)
had them change the oil with Amsoil
(no chain to adjust)
and they charged me $160
I was like WTF !!!!!
it's less than half the work than my old bike,
and you're charging me more than 50% more
the answer was "that's how long it took the tech"
my answer was,
"you guys have treated me well in the past, but I can nolonger afford to have maintenance done by your shop"
didn't realize exactly how easy this bike is til the next oil change (2 months later)
when I did it with the help of my roommate (it took us less than 15 min)
