    Yup exactly...love their definition of "free"! I did ask whether I could have the money off instead and catch the train back to work, but they said no

    Nah it's outside of warranty but apparently you need some sort of particular triumph tool to get to the bits that need balancing, and everyone else I've spoken to has said they can't do it. Usually I'd do everything but that part of the service but it hasn't been serviced for a few years so needs some TLC

    Your service costs more than my bike! That seems insane for a service though... are they actually doing anything you can't do yourself or pay a cheaper garage to do?

    Edit - you must be telepathic you answered me before I clicked post

    Should have asked for a Rocket Roadster and get your monies worth.

    Ring Keith at Master-Tech he collects and delivers. He has all the modern tools etc.
    Counting down until my next ride out!

    Thats 70% more than my Beemer would be if I had it dealer serviced. What exactly is it they need to balance to require special tools?
