We all have purchased a "new" cycle" and have been offered the dealerships "maintenance plan". I've recently purchased a new 2012 FJR with 230 miles thus far - been working. So I plan on taking her out on the weekends and when the weather clears (rain chances) will begin riding her to work. 600 miles come quick . Dealers offer maintenance plans. This offer promises: 600 mile service, valve adjustment service - more over, the terms are 6 services or 3yrs whichever comes first. With individual services costing $200 and up, the dealerships promise: head of the line service, nothing out of pocket and the maintenance plan overall is a discounted service - since you paid upfront.
- Your thoughts on the "maintenance plan"?
- If your not tech smart or knowledgable to work on your bike, would this be a consideration?
- Cost I've seen ranged from $1000,00 - $1,500.00, what do you think?
- Not considering oil changes, just major (what I call major) service - valve adjustments, etc, lack of time for do-it-your-self, don't have tools. What's your thoughts/opinions?
Minor adjustments: oil changes, minor adjustments the forurm shows and talks about, you know, thing you can do with simple tools like brakes, etc. Should one consider this?
I love to ride but don't spin a wrench much. I'm not affaid of minor or cosmetic adjustment, just don't dive into (or have the time) the deep stuff. Hmmmm, very interested in your thought and experience.
Thanks
