Today my FZ6 had her first oil+filter change :)
They also lube the chain and tight everything
I can't wait to take her for a ride

I had paid 52 euro, including 15% VAT, is this normal prices ??

sounds like a pretty good deal. The shop near here quoted $225. I did the oil/filter change but looking forward to do rest of it myself, at least attempt :)

I just scheduled my first one for May 16th. They quoted me $130 and I can wait while they do it on a Saturday. I know it's high for an oil change, they charge $72/hr plus parts and I think they figure 1 1/2hrs labor for everything.. I can probably do it myself for about $25-$30 for the oil and filter (non-synthetic), but I figured I'll let them do the first one and give the bike a good once over, check all the other fluids, lube and adjust the chain as needed, check and lube all the cables, etc. I'll hang out in the dealership for an hour and browse. All oil changes & chain maintenance, after this one I'll do myself.
