I paid £1038.18 for a service and MOT on a 2016 Street Twin at Triumph North London.Most of the cost was labour charges.I nearly passed out when I got the bill.
You obviously got rip off. I got a 2018 speed triple r mine will never go in to a dealer. I do the oil change filter and air filter myself. normally with these bikes a oil change is all required.
Nice video. My goal for the next couple of years is to start learning some basics of mechanics and try to do the most basic staff like oil, filter, sprockets changes myself. Not because I don’t want to pay someone but because I think it’s a great skill to learn and it will save me a bit of money in doing so. If I do it right of course 😂.
Hate to see ya sell the RS but I get it. The T700 is awesome bike and will let you do more adventure/ touring style riding and Yamaha's are dead nuts reliable. Always enjoy your vlogs! My 18' RS just rolled over 12k miles. I'm a little mechanically inclined and do my services (oil/filter) and brake fluid changes. I have a great local independent shop that will do my tires and will give me a great price. I just pull the wheels off and take them to them for R&R and balancing. They also have a diagnostic computer and I have taken my bike there for them to run checks at no charges Part of the 12K mile services is a valve clearance check. I just ordered a cam cover gasket pulled up the manual for the clearance specs and did it myself. For me it was fairly easy as I used to drag race cagers and was am familiar with running valves. As a side note the valves on the bike were well within spec. Look forward to further vlogs. Ride safe! Cheers from the US!
To be honest you did the right thing getting it serviced professionally after only 2 years. You could have saved some money doing it yourself but nowadays most people (rightly or wrongly) just look for those service stamps on new bikes. Once it's 5 years old, sure, do it yourself and keep the receipts but at that stage you're not losing much on the resale by not having the stamp. 👍
I changed the fork oil, the coolant, brake fluid and always change the oil/filter on my street triple 675r I use Castrol 10w-50 fully synthetic. Just love the Street Triple, love the way it sounds, love the way it handles….what’s not to like.
I just had my Tiger 900 GT Pro in for it's 6k miles services. They did the front break pads as well and charged me £500.... I'm dreading the 12k mile service that includes valve checks.
How much are you looking for? for you sp full system I could be interested. I've just brought a 21 plate street 765 will your exhaust fit it? I know the 21 plate is slightly different. Keep up the great content 👏
I also thought that $200 ($325USD?) was a little excessive. But, you had a variety of services performed. Tire replacement could've dropped the front wheel off at the shop & the charge could've been negotiated up front. Usually, $15 - $20 pounds. Brake flush (new project) w/ your fluids...Hmmm, we've come to the issue! I don't bring a steak to my favorite steakhouse for them to cook. I think 'consumables' are brought by the shop unless negotiated up front! Oops.
Sup bro 👍🏻 £202 yeah mate imo that’s a lot of money especially considering its just an interim service and like you say you supplied the bits 🤷🏼. I’m actually taking mine to AP Workshops don’t know if you’ve heard of them its an Aprilia specialist they’ve actually worked with 44teeth ⚙️ there doing the hole shabang on mine including valve clearance’s. Good to see you back on the TST hope you do a video of you selling it wouldn’t mind seeing that 👍🏻
Yeah think it was pretty steep but it's all for a stamp in the book really keep that resale value high. Never heard of AP workshops but sounds like you are with a reputable company. You getting the bike ready for riding season!!
@@BikesofRye i am yeah mate. Me and Chase both booked in for MOTs Saturday morning so get that done install my Motodynamics intergrated tail light then off to AP Workshops for a service nxt month all gucci then bro! 😎
@@BikesofRye I’m in Ampthill. Picked up a 17 STRS last year and loving it! Good to see you’re enjoying the Tenere - I like the idea of adventure, but I’d probably spend more time on the tarmac if I’m honest with myself
Did you only get it serviced at a garage just for the stamp? What a rip off 200 quid! Could of done it yourself on the drive minus the tyre change of course.
Did I hear rorrectly it is better to keep fuel tank full for storage? Because other than condensasation of empty tank why would you want a full tank of old fuel? I do opposite and keep miimal fuel in tank then when am ready to ride I simply drain mst of that and strt with all fresh fuel The old fuel gets burnt up in wife's high miles commuter a little at a time. but the babies get all fresh stuff
you paid for a service stamp £200-300 probably worth it to keep resale the value .I tend to do oil's small service myself but then its passed the peek resale value . triumph charged me over £600 for a 12k service WHAT T F . Its now due a 24k service now ,which is fork oil change and swing arm out re-Greece I won't be taken it to triumph unless I have to again I've recently moved house its in country side notting for miles away apart from one pub and a very good independent motorcycle garage . What more can anyone ask for .
12k is valve clearance check I suppose that is what cost you? If you have a reputable garage near you it's probably a great idea to use them as will no doubt be more experienced. And then you can wait while you have a pint
we're any of the clearances out of spec at 12K ? I've always done my own valve clearances, but all my bikes in the past have been air cooled old school, don't fancy doing it on my Tiger 1050, £600 is a lot of money though.
@@BikesofRye Wish I would’ve read this before commenting on your latest video where I suggested because of Ducati‘s most recent MotoGP wins you might be drawn to the red side of the force.

This is exactly my thoughts but also incase I had any warranty work required. Best keep it main dealer stamped until out of warranty

Triumph, would charge a lot more + they want to use their own parts oil etc, but that’s the norm for all dealers.

Enjoying your vids - like seeing local streets that I know! I’m on a 2017 striple, let me know if you have any goodies for sale 👀
All the goodies sold sorry! Where abouts are you?

That Triumph pricing makes my local BMW main dealer look like good value for money 😂
Well that's good as my next bike is a S1000R 😆
is it that bad? I was looking at an s1000r
We live in 2022, nothings cheap.
I would love one of these bikes, need to sell my Gixxer 600 first.
That's true 😅
Thanks for the full titanium SC project system! PS I'm at 3700 and my service is due soon! This video has just depressed me :D
You brought the exhaust 😭
Have you installed it all yet?
That is a lot of money! I wonder if they checked the valve clearances probably not at that mileage…………🤔
Valve clearance check at 12000 miles
Did you only get it serviced at a garage just for the stamp?
What a rip off 200 quid! Could of done it yourself on the drive minus the tyre change of course.
Yes it is for this exact reason to be honest as keeps residual value

Why are you selling it? I’m very curious.
Selling to fund the purchase of the BMW S1000R I collect in March 😇

Will you go to 1200rs mate 🤔🤔🤔💪💪💪
I am sorry to say as it may dissapoint you but I have on order the BMW S1000R
@@BikesofRye hmm ok good choice mate one of top bike for good money 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So happy you still have not sold it
Oh wait, I talked to early :'(
🤣 sorry.....
Hmmm, I think you miss your streety a little bit…
Yes it's has been a complete dream to own
I don’t understand why you are selling this bike :)
If I could afford to keep it I certainly would! New bike coming...
