Frequently asked questions
How much does a motorbike front brake discs cost?
At an independent garage, expect £225 to £500, parts and labour included. Main dealer: £285 – £715.
Why is the dealer more expensive?
Dealer hourly rates run 40 to 60% higher on average, and genuine parts cost more than their original-equipment equivalents. Under EU rules, servicing outside the dealer network does not void the manufacturer warranty.
