Hi all, mainly to the Aussie`s out there rang dealer for my first service having worked on bikes thru the years find $300.00 a bit to much so had a chat with some locall guys and quoted $149.00 but will this void my warranty ? I can understand if its a big one (10.000-20.000 )but just for an oil change +filter and bike check common gimmi a break!!
Or should I go the dealer way soley because they are a Triumph registed dealer... Hope it`s not a silly question but are they that much better to justify double the price??
Note that these other guys shop sell and maintain Benelli Moto-morini sachs ect.. I`m really open to everyones oppinion on the matter..

Do the oil change yourself. Use this as an opportunity to check all the fittings for yourself. Tremendous satisfaction in knowing it was done right! Spend the money you save on go-fast bits.

Unless you think there are some warranty issues, from what I know about it no reason to go to the dealer othere than to purchase the T4 Triumph special oil.

If you do it yourself, make sure you keep very complete records of the work. They might be required if warranty work is needed down the road.
