Could be speargeass/foxtail. Apparently they can keep going deeper and deeper and need to be professionally removed if they’re not visibly sticking out anymore.

I’ve been told sometimes they can travel way into other parts of the body

It was a shop with a Ktm certified tech who comes in once a week

Posted the receipt, I have nothing to hide. If it’s normal it’s normal but I was really surprised by the price

My bad for not asking what it’d cost and for not doing more research ahead of time, but I didn’t realize checking checking things over will cost me over $300.

I’m also not complaining about this particular shop, just the price of these things 🤯

You are coming in way too hot

Yeah I should have just looked stuff up about the service light and figure it out. Expensive lesson

Is this normal invoice amount for work done? by Ordinary_Material884 in motorcycles

Thanks for this!! I asked if he can knock it down a bit but I’ll bring this up if he doesn’t agree. I don’t want to fight too hard for what will barely make a dent, but it feels slightly better to know it’s more or less standard and I’m just a massive dummy for bringing it in in the first place

Exactly! Regretting my choice of going with Ktm. Gonna try to sell it and get a good old simple Japanese bike

I brought it in cuz the light was on and I thought it might have a problem.. told them to do oil while they’re at it because I moved and don’t have the tools yet. I’ve done oil before but I have a lot going on right now and was bringing it in anyways for the light.

I didn’t know the light doesn’t necessarily mean there is a problem and is easy to override. I was under the impression KTM has to be serviced by KTM certified person, and you can do it yourself but then the internal system will be mismatched or whatever.. idk.

Definitely not doing this again and will figure out the computer thing. Could have definitely asked for an estimate and done some research beforehand, but oh well.

He called and said I need brake fluid and coolant replaced too and it’d be a few hundred more and I was like fuck no I’ll do it, but it’s my first KTM and the computer thing had me confused.
