Hi I have a Multistrada 1100 and have done 7500 miles and it needs to have a yearly service including belts and valve clearance I have phoned around for prices and the most expensive place is P&H Motorcycles £680 and then other ones at £400 - £450. I cannot find out why they are so different. P&H have told me that it takes 6 hours to do the valve clearance Any thoughts / advice ? Thanks as I am very confused
P&H are main dealer with margins to protect, 6 hours does sound about right time wise but their hourly rate may also be higher than others (metropolis in london charge £90ph!!), they will prob also charge full RRP on parts 400-450 all inc for belts and valve clearances sounds about right for the southeast (but there will prob a be glut of people posting soon to say they pay less) go to a good independent like proteam, good prces, know what they are doing, straight up to deal with if they are not too far from you they will collect and dropoff for a very modest some of money
