Might as well start this off on a positive note. 2002 RS purchased in March of '03. First service done in Brea, CA cost me $165.00 and they uploaded Triumph's off road tune as a freebie for the Two-Bros pipe I installed. All service since has been performed by me. Normal oil changes cost $20.00 using Shell Rotella T full Syn oil and Purolator filters. At 6000 mi I needed to replace rear pads and have the rotor turned (just slightly) Pads-$36.00, Rotor turning-$8.00. At 10,250 (yes you read it right) I replaced the tires with Avon 45/46. Bought at Southwest Moto Tires for $224.00 complete with shipping. Pacific Yamaha gave me a deal on mounting (most won't) both with balancing for $30.00. Just did the 12,000 mile service check. Air filter-OK Valves-OK(no shim changes) Reused cover gasket-$0.00, Changed brake fluid $3.00, Will change out Fork fluid and coolant next month, Fork oil-$12.00, Coolamt $10.00. My total for two years service with the best motorcycle I've ever owned just under $570.00. I have purchased a few parts already on E-bay for the future or just in case when the deal was right. New front Nissin pads(both sets) $50.00, complete radiator fan assembly-$20.00, and the micro oil pump to build my own chain oiler $73.00 (ouch! and that was direc from the MFG!) All in all I have no complaints and hope I can stay away from the Triumph parts counter for a long time. They seem to charge quite a premium on their parts, but since my last bike was a 1981 Honda 900F and I had a connection with the factory I may have been spoiled just a bit.
