Service cost of my Triumph Street Triple 765RS and BMW S1000RR

I can pitch in with my two cents on service costs for Triumph and BMW.

Triumph Street Triple 765RS service cost

I had my Triumph Street Triple 765RS for 4 years and it was always serviced by Triumph Delhi. The routine service cost was INR 11-12k including air filter change. Once I moved to the BMC filter, this came down to INR 9k. I think there are posts by me earlier on this.

BMW S1000RR service cost

I have had my BMW S1000RR for a little over 3 years now and all services have been at the BMW dealer only. From what i recollect, the average service cost has been INR 11K without the air filter. With the air filter and brake bleed (done every 2 years) the service cost is around INR 17k, which honestly is very reasonable in my opinion. Of course, when the time comes for valve check, it will be expensive but it is something I am prepared for.

What I have seen and observed is that the basic service at the OEMs is only slightly more expensive than getting the basic oil change done at a third party workshop. I am ok to bear that additional cost for the peace of mind it brings with respect to having a complete service history of the bike. BMW has been particularly good with warranty (goodwill included) simply because the bike was serviced with them throughout. A friend got a brand new engine for his S1000RR with the bike being out of warranty by a year or so.

The only thing that as owners you have to do is be well aware of what the bike needs and not let the service guys run free. Most service schedules are available online, so take the time to know that and your machine and dictate what happens at the service.
