Valve clearance check
oil and filter
air filter if req
plugs if req
coolant if not done for past two years
brake fluid as above
tps setup if injected
throttle body balance if inj or carb balance
lube pivot points
it's the biggy. Valves do need checking as you don't know if need adjusting unless you check them

What was said above; important thing in this service is the valve check
If you are not comfortable doing the work and don't have a mate to help you, contact spannerman on here (google Stewatrs Motorcycles). He's based in sunbury, not far from Kingston-Upon-Thames and will do a very good job at a very reasonable price :)

Mr hero of the alpine stars... you are like a one man cheerleading squad.
I'll not be surprised if next time I pop down to stuarts you'll be there with your pom-poms in a little dress.
"woo woo stuarts here, he will fix it - have no fear!"

Hey Chaps
Thanks for this, probably best left to the experts.
Spanner man, ill give you a shout sometime soon (next month or two -((Cash flow)) Is the valve check usually a big deal?

It depends, mine were spot on but if any are out it needs new shims and that is a cams out job.
Checking of the rears is dead easy, fronts a little tricker.
