    I'm not sure, I've posted on the street triple owners forums to try to find out. Must be something odd because all the independents I've called have said they can't do it

    What were you expecting to pay?
    It does seem a little steep. A major service (where they check valve clearances) would normally cost around £350. Seeing as you have one less cylinder than me I'd expect it to be £233!

    I went to Blade Triumph and they wanted close to £500 !!! for a full service on the Bonny.(2 cylinders)I can't see that figure anywhere but suppose Franchise overheads and "hidden" costs have a lot to do with that sort of quote Steve Lynham said he would do it for less than half of that !!!

    My major service is due on my Street and I was quoted £190 for the service and £29.65 for MOT at Pure Triumph Wellingborough. Bit of a trek for me but they will pick it up and drop it off the following day because I bought it from them.
    People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.

    If it's silly money and out of warranty - go somewhere else.
    I've heard the 'special tool' thing before (and I've actually completed jobs on cars where "you can only do it with a special tool mate"
    I completed the job and without the so called "Special tool"
    Go to someone else.
    I have a mate who has a HP4 BMW - he's been doing his own maintenance on his bikes (10 +) for in excess of 20 years.
    He wants a special tool from them which they won't give him (he has offered to buy it from them) - he is in discussions with the boys in their headquarters in Germany and talks are on-going apparently.

    He won't give up easily trust me.
    He'll go to the chief exec if necessary
