How much should I expect to pay for an oil change and new front and rear brakes on my motorcycle?

I have a 1994 Suzuki Intruder 800. I bought it earlier this summer, probably should have gotten this done already but havn't. How much should I expect to pay for an oil change and also for front and rear brakes?How much should I expect to pay for an oil change and new front and rear brakes on my motorcycle?avarage $200 , depends on where you live also if you have connections with a private mechanic

How much should I expect to pay for an oil change and new front and rear brakes on my motorcycle?way more than you might think sorry ... do it yourself way cheaper and then you know how to care for it all in the same time... best you learn how to keep it running when you can do most of it yourself oil and brake is right so easy as tune up is.....call the dealer and get a shock... then go dealer and pick up new brake pads and oil and filter.. i can see your face now... saying how much you say what the How much should I expect to pay for an oil change and new front and rear brakes on my motorcycle?For parts you can estimate around $20 for the oil and filter.

Maybe around $90 to $150 for pads. Of course, those estimates vary depending on the price markup and the brand that is used for these parts.



So, for parts you have, let's say; around $120. Most shops charge in the $50-$75/hour labor range. Let's go with something in the middle; $60/hour.



The oil change will take about 1/2 hours ($30 labor). The pads shouldn't take much more than one hour ($60).



So, add that up. $120 parts plus $90 labor gives up a bill of about $210.



Both are pretty easy to do yourself. A few internet searches should provide you with some good helpful hints on doing the job yourself.



Good luck. Ride safe.How much should I expect to pay for an oil change and new front and rear brakes on my motorcycle?These are definitely do it yourself tasks. It's easy too because it's the same process as changing the oil %26amp; filter on a car. Same as brakes. Wrenching is just as enjoyable as riding.



Maintenance wrenching not repair wrenching.
