I've just booked my MT10 in for it's 1st / Annual 6000 mile service and they've quoted me £199. I thought this was a bit steep; especially as it only involves an oil & filter change and a check over!
Would be interested to know your opinions and experiences ;-)

It was actually £128 ! Filled with Motul 7100 fully synthetic. I sat and read magazines for a couple of hours while they did it I was tempted to have a test on their SP demo but decided against in case I liked it lol Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk

Hi Guys,
I am due to take my bike in for its first service and my local Yamaha dealer is saying eh will only put in semi synthetic yamalube. I did point out that the manual says fully synthetic however he just shot me down. I also called Yamaha UK who confirmed that it should be Fully synthetic.
The question I have is that I have a local mechanic who i use for my BMW in the past and he is awesome. Will doing the first service with them affect my warranty ?

Your Yamaha dealer sounds like he doesn't have a clue. You're the customer. Demand fully synthetic as per the manual.

I had a similar problem, they were adamant it was semi.... after contacting Yamaha they did state it should be 10/40 or 15/50 fully synthetic. So changed it myself and will be doing so in the future

It looks like some dealers are cutting corners to save money as mine said it must be fully synthetic !

£140 for the bikes first 600 miles service.
All that is required is an oil & filter change and a quick check over according to the manual
£13.74 for the oil filter £2.77 for the drain bolt crush washer £44.99 Fully synthetic 10W 40 oil 4.1L
Total £61.50
This is stupid money to pay, so am paying £78.50 in labour for a job that should only take 30/45 mins
Anyone else getting screwed over for servicing prices?
What can I do to keep my warranty?

What can I do to keep my warranty? Legally speaking you can service the bike ANYWHERE you want...as long as you can prove all parts used are to manufacturers spec then it will not void the warranty. So you could even DIY all the work and just keep receipts for the oil, oil filter, drain plug, new crush washer, etc and your warranty will still be valid. Possibly also take pictures of the milage at service and write it down on the back of receipts, etc. Just keep as much proof as you can basically for the 2 year warranty period. Sure, the Dealer & Yamaha might scrutinise things more if you have a warranty claim, but if you have all receipts to prove it was done at the right time and 100% to Yamaha specifications they cannot legally deny your warranty claim. This applies to any motor vehicle in the EU....hopefully that won't change after Brexit though....

Yamaha servicing dept now goes with the 15W 50 preferred option.
I have had it in 4000 miles and it is grand job. Got 4 litres of 15W 50 Fully Syntectic Yamaha Lube and oil filter for £55.

You can do it yourself or get a dealer too - the only consideration is resale - how much extra value the main dealer service stamps will add. I don't know the answer but if you're not worried about resale then definitely go for the cheapest option.

I don't know the answer but if you're not worried about resale then definitely go for the cheapest option. Value "added" by dealer stamps will not be £200+ a year extra it will cost over doing it yourself & keeping all receipts + proof of work done, etc. To me (personally) a dealer stamp isn't even worth the paper it's written on. I much prefer to see stacks of receipts for all parts replaced over the years instead of a book full of stamps. To me, DIY is the obvious choice. Especially now that the guys bike is due it's 2nd annual service and coming to the end of the 2 year warranty period.

Here is the reply i got from Yamaha a week ago . With regards to servicing, naturally we would recommend that a customer has their machine serviced through our authorised dealer network, who would have the latest Euro4 compliant diagnostic equipment available. However, whilst not using an authorised Yamaha dealer for the servicing of your machine may not automatically void the warranty, should a problem occur at a later stage which may be attributable in some way to the service work carried out previously, then any relevant claim we may receive could be affected. We would additionally advise, that genuine Yamaha parts are used.
Please note, that any potential warranty repair will have to go through an authorised Yamaha motorcycle dealer.
In relation to the Comfort Seat, our Parts and Accessories Department have advised, that they are unaware of any concerns, with the latest MT-10 Comfort Seat that is available.
