Hey all, kiff was curious about the service costs I've paid on my Daelim (having now done 5,000 km), so I thought I'd post them up here for comparison/discussion. Both services were done by Urban Moto service centre on Dawson's road in brunswick - they were recomended by the dealership (scooterama). They do know Daelims (both times I've taken mine in there was at least 1 other VJF there, in fact on the day of my fisrt service my bike was VJF #3 of the day), and they seem to do a thorough job. That said, they are not the cheapest in the world, but not massively overpriced either. Service 1 - 500kms cost: 250 incl. GST Services: 2 hours labour full oil change New filter Engine tuning Everything frm the filters to the plugs to the mirror nuts checked Idle speed tweeked full lube + test drive 5,000k cost: 264 incl. gst 2 labour hours Oil + filter (Motul 10W40 in case you're curious) Decarboniser added to fuel New bulb in the parking light (which had blown or got damaged) Then full check-up and a slight re-tune They also washed the bike this time. So... a little expensive, and for my third service I'm going to try a guy I used to visit locally and see the price difference, but it wasn't budget-blowing and they seem to be pretty thorough about it, and very willing to talk out what they've done. comments?
thats pretty resonable, a decent bike mechanic will charge between $80 and $100 for labour plus fluids, filters etc... whats the service intervals on the Daelim ?
Artemis how did you go with your neutral problem? As I am starting to have the same problem easy to get into neutral however its very hard to get the neutral light on. Seems hit and miss now.
For comparison my first 500km service cost me about $200. Was done at scooterino homebush. As far as I know it basically included oil change + new oil filter.
In regards to the neutral light I am also interested if anyone has had this problem and had it resolved? Yesterday I was sitting at a red light in netral and started rolling the stationery bike back and forward (I was a little bored). The neutral lights started flickering before going out completely. Then coming back on....
