Me: "What's the wait time to get an oil change & brake flush?"
Motorcycle shop: "4 weeks"
Me: "looks like I'm spending an hour doing it myself!"

Dealership: you need a brake flush and hydraulic clutch flush (at the end of having the bike in the shop 5 hours to inspect and change oil - $600+). We can get you scheduled for that in a week or two...
Me: how much?
Dealership: $350
Me: thanks, will call you when I'm ready to schedule.
Me (the next weekend with 2 bottles of fluid and a $20 flush kit with a one-way valve): done. Fuck the stealership!
A hand operated vacuum pump makes bleeding the brakes almost enjoyable.
I should open a motorcycle workshop.
Or schedule these things in advance :-)
Nothing wrong with outsourcing tasks, but it's also good to be able to do them yourself. Especially if you already know which specific maintenance is required.
