Today, AMS Dallas handed me a bill for $1,900 for a 12K service and replacing both sprockets and the chain on my 2006 ST3. Seemed a little high to me.   >:(  What do you think?

Pura vida!

Mine usually run a grand; new tires would add to that.

Dunno... Is the ST a 4 valve?

Their price on a new chain and both sprockets (+labor) is expensive for sure. If it makes you feel any better I have gotten an even bigger bill from them. :P No? I didn't think so. Sorry, just trying to help. ;D

Ouch, that does seem like a lot, but I don't know the specifics of the 12k service on the ST3.  I would imagine, belts, valve check/reshim, and fluid flushes.  The 3 could just be more labor intensive than other bikes.  I think I'll be taking mine in without fairings and fresh oil in the sump, hopefully that'll save me some $$.

That's good thinking. [thumbsup] That will save you enough for 2 gallons of gas at today's prices. :P
