Re: ST update and 500 mile service..

[jim schroeder <cretin@xxxxxxx>]

Hey Ian,
 They charged me $197 and took only 1 1/2 hrs.! Charged $49 for the oil and
took my centerstand away as a bonus! When you buy the extended warranty, they
kinda' demand you do all the services at an authorized Triumph dealer. Any
other experiences out there?
