Between the new gas tank (free, but epoxy lining wasn't), new tires courtesy of a sixteen-penny nail, and this service, it's been expensive to be a Monster owner this summer.

But WOW the bike is running so smoooth and sounding great.

Oh WOW! that much! I'm at abt 6800. Was thinking it was more in the 600-800 range... Might have to push getting it done over to next year.

What did they do for $1200?

They did whatever is listed in the owners manual for 7500 maintenance schedule. It was done at a dealership. For all I know, they simply hooked it up to a computer.. turned off the maintenance light and handed it back to me. Im not a mechanic. The bike felt fine before i turned it in.. it felt fine after when i got it back. No noticeable difference.  I wont mention the name because the truth is, this is not a reflection of poor service or high prices. I did alot of poking around before i turned my bike in for that maintenance. 1000 is the AVERAGE for the 7500 maintenance.
