Z300 · September 2nd, 2012, 04:56 AM

SO just hit 1000 kms just wondering what the charge for the first service would be ! thanks for the input

ryan.chin · September 2nd, 2012, 05:56 AM

I believe mine was about $285 USD.

foxj66 · September 3rd, 2012, 08:29 AM

Mine was about 175, almost all of the cost was labor.

7oxSin · September 3rd, 2012, 08:55 AM

holy cow tipping con artist batman thats alot of cash!

dirty nasty · September 3rd, 2012, 09:12 AM

Do it yourself. Buy the factory service manual and follow all instructions exactly. If you're cheap you can download it online for free, but it's WAY nicer to have the book in your hand instead of having to run back and forth to the computer. Even if you can't wait to download it, check out the Ninja 250 wiki. That will get you through nearly anything you would need to do to your bike.

csmith12 · September 3rd, 2012, 09:13 AM

$0 do it yourself! It's super simple and a great way to get to know your bike. I believe there is a sticky somewhere that will help you out and we will be here to answer any questions you have along the way.

Minikin_Jo · September 3rd, 2012, 11:04 AM

I paid $265.52 for my first service. I have no desire to do myself what I can pay someone else to do. Especially when I want to be sure it's done right.

mike12 · September 3rd, 2012, 04:19 PM

at least do your own oil change and the simpler things

Maielstrom · September 3rd, 2012, 04:58 PM

I just did my 600 mi (1k km) maintenance 2 days ago. I used the DIY here:
http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=19368

Pretty much it's making sure nothing is loose, things are filled, adjustments are right. I found out my front tire was low on air, and my coolant was low. Everything else was in order. Took me about 3 hours I think. Definitely go for it if you're comfortable doing so!

And don't be afraid to ask questions. I was stumped on the coolant, ended up calling shops and making a post here to verify that all the info was correct before moving forward. Did upwards of 50 miles from that point to now, no issues, so it's all good!

$0 + oil + oil filter + crush washer + whatever bolts you manage to lose.

minikin jo is just beautiful and really (with all due respect of course)

foxj66 · September 3rd, 2012, 07:26 PM

I had mine done by the shop because I don't have a place to do it at my apartment, not to mention the service plan was cheaper than I value my time...

The receipt shows a cost of about 175 but I didn't have to pay anything, It will be headed in here next week for the second oil change after my weekend ride.

I paid 120. I actually love my dealership, small town one thats been there for 30 years. Just 3 people work there, and they've treated me right from the beginning.

Making sure it "Done Right" is THE reason to do it yourself...

Not to say that it wouldn't get done right at a dealership but ... one never knows for sure

userjh160 · September 6th, 2012, 05:47 PM

I just got my bike back today for the 1st maint. it cost $91.00. I wanted to make sure the first one was done, not feeling too comfortable with it, but I am planning on doing the rest of them

I am going to have to get me a set of good tools (not sure about the tool kit that came with the bike) and a manual and my computer so I can ask everyone if I am doing it right

csmith12 · September 6th, 2012, 07:43 PM

If your supporting your local shop just because you wanna support them and trust them... then

props to you.

I have a local shop like that, that does stuff for me when I just don't have the time. I normally have them do extra stuff when I change tires. Even though I can, I refuse to change tires at home. The owner comes out and says "I am not letting this challenge go unaddress" and keeps working at it until he gets it done right. That is when I knew, this is MY shop.

Z300 · September 6th, 2012, 09:29 PM

ended upbeing 240$ rip offffffff

ninja250r81 · September 7th, 2012, 01:06 AM

Please, continue to embarrass yourself in front of the forum.

akcalhoun · September 7th, 2012, 03:50 AM

i just did it myself. it was easy and learned alot about my bike. it also saved me a ton of money (i cant believe what they charge). if you follow the link in the wiki u should have no problem at all. good luck

gallardo73 · September 8th, 2012, 10:17 AM

embarrasment ?? that is not what provokes the act of admire feminine beauty

dirty nasty · September 8th, 2012, 10:23 AM

Uhm, you're being a creep dude. Once is enough. There's plenty of hot chicks in the world who ride motorcycles. They're also not married and don't only exist as a username on a forum. Get outside and find them.

You're like my co-worker that just gawks at girls and tries talking to them like he's some big shot who's going to give them anything they want. Then when they go running away because he's a creep he always calls them "****ing bitches" then is all sad about why women don't like him.

Minikin_Jo · September 8th, 2012, 11:21 AM

I'm not creeped out. I'm flattered. It's not often someone compliments me as such. Most people can be nasty or gross. He's not being rude. So, thank you.

dirty nasty · September 8th, 2012, 11:50 AM

Eh, girls my age just suck then. It's true, treat 'em like dirt and they stick like mud.
