We’ve posted six maintenance tutorials so far here on the blog, and a couple of folks have properly pointed out that it can be difficult to find a specific tutorial hunting around on the blog. To make things a bit easier, we posted a maintenance tutorial index on the CSC website, and you can get to it here. It shows all of our maintenance tutorials, it provides a quick link to each, and we’ll update it each time we post a new tutorial.
We’ll be adding several more maintenance tutorials in the next couple of weeks, but we had an interesting conversation in the plant today about how much our riders will save based on what we’ve posted so far. The concept is intriguing, so we worked up a quick spreadsheet based on 2 years of estimated dealer labor costs and 12,000 miles on your bike during that time. I realize this is a fairly subjective estimate, but the results are interesting…
Wow, a quick back-of-the-envelope calc indicates that if you brought a bike to a dealer and had only the maintenance actions done that we’ve already empowered you to do through our online tutorials, it would cost about $3,500 in labor charges. Yep, $3,500. That’s what you’ll save using our maintenance tutorials and doing the work yourself. $3,500. The RX3 motorcycle only costs $3,495.
You do the math…
