#6I was just about to start this topic!
Had the Duke serviced there today and I must say it was a very enjoyable experience! You can see it's the same guys that run Action KTM: Very friendly staff, great mechanic (who actually listens to you) and great loan of a 990 SM for the day! Recommended!
It's still expensive though, not sure what the norm is but a minor service (22,500km) with clutch bleed came to a little over $400.. But now she's in damn fine shape!

#7I think I paid close to $600 for my last major service and usually pay around $300-$400 for minor ones.
The price we pay for having a KTM or Ducati I suspect.
Does anyone know how much the Brisbane (including GC) dealers charge for applying the Akra map to your ECU?
Around $30 I think is reasonable for 5-10 minutes work on a PC connected to your bike.
Anything above that is just plain greed in my eyes - I'm a software engineer I know how to update an onboard piece of EEPROM and how long it takes.

#8Really it is not time so much as the initial investment that is charged for. Like for me... I can change a fuse in less than 5 min's but what do i charge for the 30 years it took me to get here?...
more of a service than by the clock, also customer loyalty plays a role too. loyal customers receive a reduced rate at my shop opposed to a first timer.

#22I get all my parts from Boltons Motorcycles (via online ordering, they are in Kyneton near Melbourne), amazing how fast they can get parts for you - uncanny in fact!
Type in the part number and about a minute after you press submit the bloody mailmans at the door!
Huge inventory too.
No affiliation, just a happy shopper.
Cheers
