I just had my brake and clutch fluid changed on my 2015 Valkyire and the bill was about $85.
New battery for my F6B was about $125.
I think you paid too much.

Seems like extremely high price to me. I put in the "Speed Bleeders", and brake fluid and clutch is easy and quick. And doesn't require an extra person. Coolant change is not hard either, but takes a bit longer. WJDuke, do you have a service manual? Just wondering. Give these fluid changes a try, next time they are due. It will save you plenty of $$, and the satisfaction of self maintanence is a great feeling. However, I don't have any idea of your age, or mechanical ability, so, I should just shut my mouth. Anyway, have a good day!
I’m 64, somewhat mechanically inclined, but no mechanic. I’m just at the point of letting someone else do the difficult stuff. I don’t have many tools, or even a good place to work on it. I’ve changed my own tires and always did the oil changes. I used to work in tire shops. I appreciate the advice!

I feel the same. I turn 63 in a couple of days and have done a lot of maintenance myself. Everything from changing tires, brake and clutch fluid, coolant , brake pad, etc. I have started to pay for most of it now. Found a local shop I trust, Ducati guys and they do good work. They ain't cheap though.

Everyone is different "Luckily", I'm only commenting because I too am 64! Iv'e always worked on my bikes and my cars, but at 64 and retired, I'm restoring a 1974 Kawasaki Z900, and on the weekends volunteer at a WW2 Aviation museum working on P61 Black Widow.
So to each their own!
You all have fun!
