A dealer can of course charge whatever it wants for services rendered. That said, it seems pretty common that programming a bike to recognize a new fob or TPS sensor a fee of 1/2 hour labor is used. A full hour does seem to be a bit too much to me also.
I do not know how much it happens now but back a while, it was also common for dealers to have to fumble through their first few uses of KDS to program bikes- a reasonable dealer will NOT try to charge a customer for their learning curve. That is on them IMO.

My Stebel horn arrived yesterday, so I installed it. This was by no means an easy project. The "extra" or available space on these bikes is quite minimal. Also installed a radiator guard.
Today is going to be a ride. Im thinking about riding around Lake Okeechobee.
Question... Is there any one in South Florida that has a computer and software that can program a key fob? I went to my local stealership yesterday and ordered a spare one. They charged me full retail for this fob and then they wanted to charge me $8/qt for Kawasaki oil. OUCH! Then the service dept told me that it was a bunch of data input to program the fob and that it would be an hours labor charge. I believe that this was lies! As I walked out of the place shaking my head, from the horrible experience that I just endured at the parts counter and service desk, I told myself that I would NOT give this establishment anymore of my business. I'm thinking that the blonde hair and boobs is a signal to salespeople that I am an idiot?
