Service Cost - Rosso Corse

17-10-2011, 11:09 AM

Had a chat yesterday with Stuart and Rob at the Hilltop (great meeting you guys), about a recent rather COSTLY experience with RC. We thought it might be a good idea to share this with everyone, so we can compare prices from different suppliers. I would welcome any thoughts/comments you might have.

FYI - This was a 2 years (or 15,000 miles) scheduled maintenance, albeit mine was a particularly low mileage (4,700 miles), because of an accident sometime ago (luckily on a different bike). I wanted to attach a scanned copy of the invoice, but forum filesize constraints will not allow, so here goes:

DIDZDVM 520 Chain - £127.80
14t Front Sprocket - £20.05
14t front sprocket lock plate - £5.70
Pads, Front x2 - £56.00
Belts, Cam x2 - £84.72
DCPR8E Plugs x2 - £12.12
Filter, air - £34.10
Filter, fuel x1 - £19.87
Filter, fuel o'ring assem - £12.48
5.1 brake fluid - £6.85
Consumables - £8.00
Filter, oil - £13.26
Sump gaskets x 2 - £1.80
3.4lts synthetic oil - £32.13
Labour (Full service & remove and replace final drive / fit 14t) - £225.00

Total without VAT - £659.88 (£791.85 with VAT)

I should say from the outset, I was initially told by Ray to expect fees of between £400 and £500, including the chain. It is also worth pointing out that Metropolis (authorised dealer) quoted around £600 inclusive of VAT for the same service, not including the chain change, meaning it would probably end up being more or less the same if not cheaper. Needless to say, this is not what you would expect from a smaller operation.
