Ye if you purchase it from a dealer they usually do the service for free and you just pay the parts.
I had mine serviced at A&D in Denbeigh over the weekend. What a great bunch of guys. They stayed behind on Friday night till 6.30pm so I could get the bike to them and stored my trailer over the weekend. Great customer service, they will be having my custom from now on.
Nice to see that some dealers value new customers as well as their own.

Well guys if you want a really decent service in Scotland then give Skinner Motorcycles a call really helpful. http://www.skinnermotorcycles.co.uk/
Went down today to get my bike setup for MAP 2 and just checked out and as it turns out the bike was already on MAP2 but old firmware so latest version programmed, also they noticed there were some faults one was for the oil being too full so they kindly syphoned out some oil and made sure it was all correct before i left brilliant service!
Will be going there for my 6000 mile service for definite proper Aprillia folk!
So give them a call if you are looking for decent folk to properly look after your bike in Scotland!
Thanks Aldo for telling us about them much appreciated!
Cheers

AF1 great guys
Just my two pence worth - those guys at AF1 are the best.
I bought my bike second hand and after about two days noticed a hole where the (factory ohlins adjustable) steering damper ought to be. Clean bits where it used to be as well, so recently removed. Dealer an absolute wan$%^ and didn't want to know. Quick email to AF1 and NZ$350 for the part incl postage. Got quoted in NZ for same thing around $1200 from dealer (said prev owner must have removed it...hmmm). Still a bit gutted the dealer didn't make good and get one, but at least I didn't have to fork out the huge $$. Even the non-adjustable no-name steering dampers here are around $500!
Go go AF1.

Had my T serviced last saturday for £80.....Cant see where these quotes of £200 come from as the ony thing you are paying for apart from the labour costs are oil & filter.
Has anybody had the first service and still found the spanner symbol showing on the clock...If so, do you no how to get rid of it ....Or is it something only an approved Aprilia tech can deal with?

this will tell you how to reset your service light. it does work, i used it myself.
as for the service costs, have you priced up the oil? i almost choked when ordering some after my oil pressure switch failed and i had to dump the oil to replace it. its a little more expensive than the 10/40 you chuck in most bikes.

Hi all, first time poster so the virtual drinks are on me.
Wow, just found an Aprilia specialist just a few miles up the road who I didn't even know existed until I came here. Thanks Streetfighter, you can have a double
Hi Wills, it maybe worth the long treck over to Griff at Aprilia Performance in Tamworth. He used to work for the factory and is a maestro. Try the following link (www.customrestoandrace.co.uk)

£97 for 600 mile service at Preston Superbike Centre, which included the cost of changing the end cans and putting on a 15t front sprocket. So the service on its own would have been about £50 (the invoice shows 2 hours of labour free of charge). Bargain.
