ItsGene said:I ride a K1200LT bike and I have only had it in the shop twice to be serviced by the dealer! It is a great way to spend a weekend day! Air filter change, oil filter change, plugs, valve adjustment with bucket replacement, farkle wiring and adjustments, brake fluid changes...that and more done by the owner. I learned early that at $81 an hour, and it taking 2-3 hours for panel removal and replacement for air filter changes and injector rail maintanence, I needed to learn the procedures myself. The K1200 group are tinkerers for the most part. They find as much joy working on the rides as riding them. Gives one a piece of mind to know the maintanence was performed correctly and that all the plugs and wires were correctly connected.
Once you purchase the LT, not a lot of $$ for dealer paid maintanence.
What does this have to do with Cheeseburgers?
