Hi folks, just had a quote from my local dealer on how much the 12000 service is going to cost for my 09 Tiger 1050.....£450.00+ seems a bit steep, but hey if that's what it cost's that's what it cost's.........cheers!!!

Hi mate,

If it were my bike, and still under warranty, I would go for the Triumph Dealer service just to keep the warranty up.

Having said that, the cost of service is almost doubled due to the labour costs involved of taking the valve cover off to check the shims.

The chances of a shim being out on a new(ish) bike is remote. Just tell them not to do the shims and see what the price is then.

And you could always do the shims yourself :)
