Service plan - thoughts please.....

[String]

Afternoon all,
Have been thinking about this for my new 650. Includes parts and labour for 3 annual (4,000 7,500 and 11,000 mile) services.
Costs just shy of £500 which spread over the 36 months, works out at about £14/month.
Would be interested to hear if any other members have this and what people's thoughts are on the value of it.
Is it just a money making exercise or is £500 a reasonable amount to spend on 3 years service costs, bearing in mind that the book would then be stamped by an Authorised Dealer.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I thought the services are every 7,500 miles now? Makes sure the service plan reflects the actual service scheduled.

I think my 4,000 mile was around £180, the 7,500 was about £230 and the 11,000 was £180ish again from a main dealer.

Not sure about the intervals. When you ask for a quote it comes up with those mileages and 1, 2 or 3 years (I assume whichever comes first). Along with other items, spark plugs appear to be included in year 2 and an air filter in year 3.

Is there a task list for each of those services? What exactly is it that you're paying for?

This is what comes up when you get the quote.

Seems expensive but as you say it will mebbe help keep the resale value up when you get rid.
