I have a 2015 R125 that's approaching 15,000 km and I need to do the service. The guy at the garage is quoting me 180€ for a complete maintenance job (air filter, brake pads, fluids). Is that a normal price or am I getting ripped off?
That's a pretty fair price for a full service at a Yamaha dealer, especially since you've got the air filter and brake pads included in there. That said, still check with a nice independent garage around your area who might do it cheaper, but you're not getting ripped off here.
You're not getting ripped off, that's right on target for a small displacement bike like that 🏍️ On an R125, dealers usually charge between 150-200€ for a full service with filters and fluids, so you're right in the ballpark. After that it depends if you need wear parts (pads, chain) but for just maintenance that's fair.
For a small displacement bike like the R125, 180€ is really reasonable at the dealer. You've got the air filter, brake pads and fluids included, so it's a full service, not just oil and filter. At a Yamaha dealership you're paying for the brand and the guarantee that everything's done to spec, so the price reflects that.
After that, if you really want to shop around, an independent garage could do it cheaper, maybe 120-150€ or so. But honestly with 15,000 km on a 2015 bike, your bike isn't worn out so the brake pads should still be fine. Just ask the guy whether he's actually replacing the pads or if it's just an inspection, because that would make a difference.
€180 is indeed fair for an R125, the others are right about that. But watch out for one thing: make sure the dealer actually includes all the fluids (engine oil, brake fluid, coolant if your bike has it) in that price, because sometimes they'll say "full service" and forget to spell out the costs for each fluid. Also ask them if it's just a basic oil change or a more thorough service with the oil filter and air element replacement - €180 is nice especially if all that's included, but if it's just cosmetic stuff like pads and air, you could shop around.
