Today we took our Bonneville T120 for the warranty work to replace the left handle bar switch gear as the cruise control had a fault. 1.5 hours later and the new switch gear looks to have worked so looks all ok so far. We take a look at some of the new Chrome edition Triumphs and run through the receipt showing what was billed to us on the first service. Was it worth going to have the first service done by main dealer? Was it too much to pay the £250 ?

I live in France my local Honda agent gives a 5-year warranty & the first service is free labor. Sorry to hear that you had to pay for the diagnostic check I'm surprised they didn't charge you for the spanners to change the oil. I've been with my Honda agent for 30 years now, and good service makes a big difference to the customer.

@MOTOUK1 Год назад

Good to know there are some dealers that want to look after their clients and not just after money. I know if I had taken back to the dealer I bought from labour would have been free but think as I took to a different dealer due to the original one being 350 miles away that it would be transferable from triumph dealer to triumph dealer.

@YELLOPER1L58 Год назад

I’m really surprised to hear this. I got a new Bobber Gold line back in late August from West Coast Triumph in Glasgow and they charged me a total of £55 for the first service. All I had to pay for was the oil, filter and "misc lubricants". They took care of the labour and diagnostic check. was expecting it to be around £150 so I was pleasantly surprised. I’d have been very unhappy if they’d charged me £250. I would have expected all Triumph dealers to charge the same for a first service but obviously not! It would make me avoid buying a new bike from Youles!

@MOTOUK1 Год назад

It’s not Youles fault but if you have any triumph serviced first one anyway by a different dealer than you bought it from you pay full price. The dealer I bought from is 380 miles away so didn’t fancy taking all way there and chose the nearest to me.

@andrewprice1189 Год назад

Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. Enjoying your channel. I agree that Triumphs first service costs are a complete rip off & put a bit of a downer on the entire purchasing experience. Comparable prices here around $450 basically to change the oil & filter & maybe adjust the chain at the 1000Km (600mile) service which is more than most cars. Probably 45 mins to an hour spent on the bike. I know they have overheads & mechanics to pay but how much profit do you really need. Triumph provides moto2 engines for free every season, its about time they starting giving the customers who buy the bikes & keep them in business a bit more of a fair go

@MOTOUK1 Год назад

Thanks Peter, only ever bought 2 new bikes later in life, most have been second hand. And own serviced all of them. I’m going to question the diagnostic as I have a mate who has just had a Honda 1st service and no diagnostic on his first service.

@peterkinloch666 Год назад

My first new bike was a garreli moped from wall and sagar in lancaster many years ago😊. Currently I've a versys1000 from padgetts and I didnt take it back for its first service, though I do know Clive and Alan padgett, like you say use genuine parts and they have to honour the warranty. Surely the reason they plugged in the diagnostic computer was to fix a warranty problem. You seem to have a good relation with triumph so I'd mention it to them next time they sort a bike out for you to test.

@avon57 Год назад

The diagnostic equipment is not expensive these days. For $A20/ £10, you can buy a code reader which works fine in conjunction with free software you can download. I'm coming up to the first service on my T120, and I'm thinking about my options.

The charge per hour is an obvious rip. The additional charge for the diagnotic......device, a thing that is there to make their job easier, is an insult. These dealers need to make a profit. But, there are limits and Triumph appear, with this, and another vid I saw from Bristol, to have drifted into fantasy charging. Good luck when you need a valve check/adjustment. I would sell it before, quite honestly.

@johnmartin7158 Год назад

Good morning, Sir. Can I ask you a question. Sometimes I struggle to view my T120 speedo dial. White on white basically in direct sunlight makes it difficult for me to read at times. Eg if it was a red needle on say blue numbers it would be more legible. Or is there a perspective surround I can install around the 2 dials as in speedo and tachometer. My new RAV4 is similar, white on white, so I’ll purchase a HUD for that. But for the bike I’m unsure what to do. I’m glad you’ve sorted your beautiful bike out. I’ll be doing oil and filter changes every 5k on my bike. I also plan to keep my Matt Black Gold Line T120. Cheers.

@MOTOUK1 Год назад

Good question John. So on many bikes I have fitted the Matt finish protector film from speedoangels and that had helped with sun glare and made dials easier to read. I don’t have white dials on mine though so never fitted one to my Bonny.

The Valve clearance and all work would take them 5 hours… Lol. I went to some other independent guy and I was charged €60 per hour. Less than half the price. 😂😂😂

@MOTOUK1 Год назад

@denisg4288 Год назад

Hi Nick Bit of a calculated risk ding your own serving. Although the legislation changed for cars in that so long as a vehicle is maintained to the manufacturer’s specifications using comparable quality parts, then the warranty is valid, that legislation unfortunately didn’t extend to bikes. So it is up to the manufacturer if they accept that your serving and receipts if you have a warranty claim. Some do, some don’t. Regards Den

@fasteddy3661 Год назад

I own a 2018 Bonneville T100, which I bought last year. So I don't know the cost for the first service, but labour cost at the Triumph dealer here in the Netherlands in 2022 was 64 GBP/hour incl. 21% BTW (=VAT), using 1.13 Euro to 1 GBP as exchange rate. For my Moto Guzzi V85 TT I paid GPB 165 for the first service in 2021, with labour cost of 60 GBP/hour, both incl. BTW (no cost for error code searching). So yes, I would say the prices you pay are pretty darn stiff.

@PhilipBallGarry Год назад

Goodness me! That's ridiculous. As others have said, a bike under warranty should have any fault investigated at no charge to you. Surely they would claim back the "job" as a whole from Triumph UK including labour. I believe they "plug in" as part of a service anyway in order to ensure the latest version of software is uploaded (which may include the latest engine map and safety items such as ABS configuration etc). The labour rate sounds about right but my local dealer Pidcocks actually provided the labour for a first service free and only charge for parts. The first service on my T100 was therefore under £70. My second service last year was less than £200 too.

@checker3694 Год назад

My upcoming 2022 2nd service on my BMW9 rt is £294.00 inclusive , oil, filter, gearbox oil, and brake fluid flush oddly after 1 year, I will be doing myself. It's a stand alone Motorrad dealer 2 people in service desk 2 in sales, 2 in parts, 1 in clothing and not sure how many in workshop. Main dealers carry a lot of waste in staff payroll. I think they could function with half the staff in the glass aera, and pass savings on.

@exeterrider Год назад

I think Royal Enfield are possibly the best bikes out there for rideabuilty factor. The Triumphs are great but no more reliable than the RE infact in some cases is say the fit and finish is as good. Electrionics are often the reliability killer on bikes these days, would you agree Nick? Keep it simple I day. I'd like to try a speed twin, that does appeal I must admit. That diagnostic charge would push me over the edge. You must be pretty hacked with that. I would be. Good vid mate.

@MOTOUK1 Год назад

Hi 👋 yes I think RE have really come on a step and to do that while keeping pricing at a low. I think value for money you can’t go wrong with any of their models. Electronics even on cars are a pain in the bottom these days so many sensors and bits that can go wrong. Can you imagine a bike getting to its service mileage and going into limp mode until it’s serviced by a dealer, I feel these are things that could be in the future. 😩 I’m just happy the new left switch cluster has solved the issue I had and all is well now. So looking forward to 2023 spring and summer and must meet up at the ABR 👍

@davidwaddington9414 Год назад

I really hope that's the end of the niggles on your bike, you would would think that your first service agreement would have been transferable to another Triumph dealer., the diagnostic scan is usually done if the customer reports an undiagnosed fault, then you pay for the fault to be fixed if they find one, they have probably done it because you have had a problem with the switch gear control just to make sure nothing else is faulty, but you shouldn't have to pay for them to check., just checked my bill for 1st service and no auto scan done.

@barrydaly7174 Год назад

Hang on! £90 an hour labour? isn't that about £30 too high. All in all I suppose its why you don't see as many Triumphs on the road as you do say Yamahas and Hondas. The ongoing costs is what put me off the Tiger 900... I went for the, maybe more prosaic, cheaper, less refined but fun Tracer 900. Easy servicing it apart from valve clearance obviously but that's not due until 22-24,000 miles. I would have a dedicated Triumph room full of various models if I had the money mind.

Called in my friends and took the camper shell off, loaded the bike for the 2 and 1/2 hour drive (on a work day) down to the dealer. They told me it was nothing and handed me a$250 bill. I was shocked and expressed my dismay and they knocked off $100. I’m in Idaho and the next closest dealer is Salt Lake. That’s 5 1/2 hours. Thank goodness at 3200 miles nothing else has gone wrong. Crazy world out there!

Sorry to hear about your check light, did they tell you what the issue was?

@@MOTOUK1 They didn't. It didn't come on for them.

@johnsamson-snell9558 Год назад

Triumph don’t make oil. Agreed. They also don’t make brake pads, or brake discs, oil filters, batteries and practically everything else on the bikes. They do assemble bikes from parts bought in from external suppliers. It’s pretty obvious really. If one wants Triumph painted on an oil filter then it’s going to cost you a lot of money. Good for you for serving you own bike in future. I do but then I don’t trust anyone else to do it like I do as I definitely have OCD when it comes to my bikes!

@MOTOUK1 Год назад

Haha my thoughts exactly I prefer to know I’ve serviced it and it’s all good. Been doing for all my bikes.

No bike manufacturer make their own oil, brake pads, batteries etc.

Triumph are a feckin joke.. My fuse went on my 2022 Triumph speedmaster stopped at a Triumph dealer and I told them the fuse as possibly blown they checked and it had they replaced the 5 amp fuse it took about 2 minutes in total and they charged me £11.00 which because I was in a rush I paid.. I'm in the process of buying a second bike from that very same dealership and I tell you that once both my bikes are out of warranty they aren't going to be worked on by Triumph.. I will write a email of complaint to Triumph once I have some spare time.. Triumph in my eyes are robbing b#stards..

@MOTOUK1 Год назад

Why wait until out of warranty, the bike is still under warranty if used triumph branded parts. Just keep receipts

@MOTOUK1 Год назад

Not sure if your in U.K. but halfords for fuses, fraction of cost

@@MOTOUK1 Yeah I'm in the UK.. Chester Queensferry is my local Triumph dealership. Thanks for the info.. I don't trust local garages and my health not good enough to work on my own bikes anymore hence why I've been using dealership. I need to find a good bike mechanic.. I used to be a car mechanic so always find it difficult trusting anyone with my cars or bikes.. Thanks again subscribed to your channel 😀 🤟😎

Good video, can you tell me if the t120 has tubeless tyres.

Hi 👋 no not tubeless, i am going to convert them at some stage with a kit though.

Glad to see your bike is repaired as prolonged gremlins are not fun nor do they fill the owner with confidence. Looking forward to your next vids.

Hi. Surely the warranty should cover the diagnostics of the fault. Why should you have to pay for that?

@MOTOUK1 Год назад

The service diagnostic was nothing to do with the warranty, it’s part of the first service

@Paul Alexander That was the way I interpreted it too. Thanks for the clarification MotoUK 👍

@paullee6663 Год назад

@@MOTOUK1 Can you purchase a diagnostic tester (obviously not a Triumph one) that you would be able to use when doing your own servicing? It would seem to be a 'necessary tool' if they are running a diagnostic test at a 1st service 🤔 Do you know if they do a diagnostic test as part of later services? I guess I'm missing something here, why would you run a 'diagnostic test' if they wasn't a fault showing to ''diagnose'?

@MOTOUK1 Год назад

@@paullee6663 I have a diagnostic tester I use for my car and the triumphs have the same plug. I actually diagnosed myself prior to dealer 😂😂 problem is you can’t just buy clutch switch and has to be full left hand controls.

I test rode a RE Classic before I bought my T120. I was seriously tempted. If only it had about 10 bhp more to keep you ahead of those few car drivers that seem to want to kill you, it would have been a tougher decision. You can nearly buy 3 of these for the price of a T120 ffs!

Whist you’re correct, the T120 in my opinion is a high quality bike as are all Triumphs nowadays.
