Yeah, the margin on margin approach risks doing more damage to customer relations than anything else. I don't give a rat's arse if it's 'industry standard practise'. It's a rip and makes me lose trust in the people I'm dealing with.

Surely you can do better than that mate?
How about you brought it with you on that cruise ship but graciously offered it up to the crew when their anchors wouldn't stop the ship from drifting?

And that's why I do everything that I possibly can, even if I haven't done it before I just do it myself...takes me at least 3 times longer but I get the bits at wholesale and know the jobs done properly eventually.....
Better the money in my pocket than somewhere else I say.

First service has to be done by them. Others I'll do myself if I can. But, part of the deal is they don't charge labour on the first service. Doesn't stop them trying to claw some of it back via creative parts/oil pricing though.
Right now, the weather is crap here, so a perfect time to be doing this myself if I could because I can't be cutting trees. Instead, will be doing the clutch cylinder in my ute - I think the piston seal is on the way out.
But to be honest, there are times when I just don't have the time, at which point as much as it hurts for them to do it, it would hurt more to not be cutting trees. This isn't one of those times though.

When it all goes wrong on a road bike you have to consider yourself lucky if you can still wipe your own arse in my opinion.

Put a 395 clutch on it, that's what I'm gonna do to the 2101xp that'll show up this weekend.

Legally here, they have to release the exact specs of consumables, cannot lock you into specific brands, and if you can find an aftermarket brand and/or competently use your own labour, they cannot weasel out of the warranty. The onus is on them to prove you screwed up the servicing or used a part/filter outside of their written specs.
The issue is whether you have deep enough pockets to fight them, and then fight the aftermarket supplier for misrepresenting the specs of any product they sell that isn't up to the specs they say it is.
I've just ordered the required oil from another vendor and will supply the dealer when it comes in. $120 saving on the exact same brand and types of oils. I will order another set of OEM filters and keep them on the shelf, using aftermarket filters instead unless the tractor needs to go back for warranty then I'll swap the OEM filters in, so there's no headaches.

I'll keep that in mind. But will go with the clutch spring for now from Will if he is so inclined [emoji16]
The rest of the assembly looks ok.
A big branch came off the tea tree over the fence and path. Just so happens to have the 2100 in the boot. A bit heavy for limbing but worked [emoji12]
Rest up and see the physio about ya knee. Apparently it's important to see them after a big off for rehabilitation purposes. I took 10 days to at xmas and they weren't impressed. Typical blokes.. Ahh she'll be right. Just need a few days for it to mend. [emoji50]
