Re: Got new Pirellis on my PCX150 ...
Front specific tyre fitted on the wrong wheel the wrong way round.

I visited the dealer. If I were to provide tires they would charge $150 for the service just to change the tires out. I think I will find a third party mechanic.

Re: Got new Pirellis on my PCX150 ...
I got clarification. It's 30 per wheel if I bring just the wheel in with tires. Still 150 is high for simply replacing both. But I'm only at 2200 miles just planning ahead

I wrenched for a while in a bicycle shop. We would charge $10 labor plus parts to repair flats/change tires if the wheels were on the bike. $5 labor if they brought in only the wheel. We would charge extra if the tire was caked with dog poop or filled with Tire Slime.

Re: Got new Pirellis on my PCX150 ...
Our dealer here, McKinney honda of ruston, is just an extreme ripoff. Wanted to charge me 75 for an oil change: "If all you want is an oil change, its 1/2 hr labor, $37.50 + parts + tax=about $75, if you want the 600 mile service, there is more to it and its different for each individual bike. $100 + or - some means around $100. I'm thinking about $107 or so with tax. " and also there is "Our labor rate is $75 and hour. The flat rate for tire change on the unit for that unit is, front .75 of an hour, rear .9 of an hour. That is 1.65 hours at $75 an hour, then tax is added to total around $150, on the unit. If you want to bring just the rims and tires, we do it for $30 each + tax. That is going by our flat rate through Honda and our labor per hour. "

Any law enforcement officer that would waste his, her, and or anyone's time looking into such a minor difference in a scooter tire in order to issue a citation is beyond comprehension to me. But there's actually some out there, even ones willing to admit it on the internet. lol

Another problem here would be invalidation of insurance.

Re: Got new Pirellis on my PCX150 ...
Wow, quite the prices there... I recently had my 8000 km (5000 miles) service done at an official Honda dealer, they charged me 127 Euro for an oil change, valve clearance check, spark plug replacement and general check-up (first service since I bought the bike). I think I'll stick with this dealer...logepoge1 wrote:Our dealer here, McKinney honda of ruston, is just an extreme ripoff.
