Hey Bob
-- I know its a bit more than an oil change. I was trying to be a little sarcastic in the message but it didn't translate well in the post. Seeing as the 12,000 mile service is about $900 and what is checked, the 6000 mile service seems a bit spendy. Your checklist aligns with a checklist I found a few weeks back in a google search.

I contacted Erico about the 6000 mile service and was told $410 which is more in line that what I expected. The Tiger section of the ADVRider.com forum says about $400 to $450 as cost to expect. I will have to call Foothills and speak to the Service Manager to confirm that $722 is what they charge for the 6k service.
I like Steve but he is up in Arvada. Colorado Moto Service is an option for future service. They are close enough to my office that I could kick rocks into their driveway on my way to/from work. I just wanted to let Triumph take care of this service is case there are any warranty issues. If Triumph does the in-warranty period maintenance, they should have no ammunition if there is an issue during the warranty period. Current issues are engine-throttle surging at 3500 to 4500 rpm and using 1qt of oil between the 600 and 6000 mile service (actually 5650 miles right now). I am told the 1 qt of oil use is within Triumphs specs but again, I don't want to give them an out. The odd horror story about Triumph denying warranty coverage due to a non-Triumph service even though it is not supposed to be grounds for denying a warranty.

Al,I agree that $722 is high for 6K service. However, there is a little more involved then just a oil change. Attached you will find the Maintenance Schedule I have been use when I preform the services on my bikes.Bob Wendl--Steve Michelson is an option. Foothills was offering a service special for $50 off $300 spent. When I said wasn't going to pay $722 for an oil change,they said they could do it for $537. That is still a lot.

You might look at Foothills website, they have a Triumph event on March 23 and there were some service discount coupons on the site in conjunction.On Fri, Mar 1, 2019 at 3:47 PM Al Miller <amill...@gmail.com> wrote:
--Foothills just quoted $722 for the 6000 mile service. I was thinking it would be better to have a Triumph dealer take care of it so if there were any warranty issues, Triumph USA couldn't give me any grief about who did the service.I was thinking maybe $450 but over $700, yikes.
