I sent my 2006 Apex GT into Yamaha for the following:

replace exhaust donuts
change oil and filter
change chain case oil


Total $383.00

Is this a good price?
 
Get them to grease the front drive bearing also.
 
Save $300 and do it yourself. Lots of tips on how to do that on this site.
 
120.00 dollars in supplies so 260.00 in labor probably isnt to bad but still payuing them about 80.00 an hour.
 
Where's the vasoline?
 
Everyone will have a different opinion. Obviously you are not comfortable doing the service yourself so you sent it to a dealer for service. Or you dont have the garage/shed to do the work in
With that said I think the price is inline with what you had done.
I would suggest either buying a service manual or doing a search and downloading one. The manual will walk you through simple things like you just had done
I like to buy the book style manuals because I can bring it with me and write notes in it.
Eventually it will help you to build confidence and check to be sure you did it correctly
 
That sounds reasonable because I changed my donuts last night to the copper ones and it took me four hours including making a bracket to replace the broken one on the heat shield that is used to bolt the seat too. I think it probably would have taken a shop around four hours to do everything you listed.
 
GOOD DEAL

Actually I just did not have the time to do this repair. Last year I replaced my buddy's Attack pipes and gaskets. Took a long time but I did it. Work schedule did not allow me to do my own. The sled sits up at my camp in NY ( Tug Hill), and I live in NJ. was not able to take a day off to do the job. My dealer is decent and I am sure he checked and adjusted all that needed to be done. Watertown Power Sports. Awesome guys.

BY THE WAY IT WAS $323.00 NOT $383.00
