Hi there fellow Busa riders!
I've got a 07 model black edition with only 18000 on the clock. I did last service at the dealer 12000 km service and it was a rip off. Only for oil and checks (I dont believe he checked anything) I was charged 180 euros. I mean only for oil+oil filter. At 15-16000 km's I changed oil by myself and it was a piece of cake! Dismantling the right faring only with taping the edges was super easy. I also changed myself spark plugs and torqued them in spec and also found out that it was also a piec of cake.
In this respect, does it worth it spending so much $$$ for oil+filter+checks??? I mean oil+ filter costs about 50 euros, so Why to pay 180 euros? On the other hand, one dealer guy from which a ordered an air filter for the 18000 service told my that changing the oil is not the only thing we do here, we check, lubricate, torque to spec several bolts and nuts, check for damages etc.
So, I mean for someone who is mechanically inclined, sevicing his baby on himself will destroy the bike?
How many of you are the only ones that touch your babies and youve got several thousand miles without troubles?
Honestly..
Cheers! THeo
